The media file is a photograph of a page from a book. The top half of the page features a black and white image of a theatrical scene. Two women in elaborate historical costumes are present. The woman on the left stands with a parasol, while the woman on the right is seated. A decorative table sits between them. The text below the image identifies the play as "The Importance of Being Earnest" and notes it was performed by the Seattle Repertory Theatre in 1965, with Kay Doubleday and Anne Thompson in the roles of Gwendolyn and Cerily, respectively. Stuart Vaughan is credited as the director, and the photo is attributed to Dudley Hardin and Yang. The bottom half of the page contains text discussing "Humor: The Four Types." The text begins by stating that the classification of humor sources or types is "rough-hewn but theatrically service-able" and that these are part of the oral tradition of theatre. The first type of humor discussed is "Exaggeration," with examples given of a clown's baggy pants, a red nose, an orange wig, a very fat man, an extraordinarily tall and skinny person, big feet, and sticking-out ears, all of which are described as funny when presented on stage. The text appears to be a chapter or section from a book on drama or theatre.
