1. Title: A Moral Dilemma Unveiled: The Strip Tease Card Game's Joker Cards This photograph showcases an intriguing moment from a 1930s Strip Tease card game, featuring the Joker cards. The game, which has become a popular collector's item, is a unique blend of morality, entertainment, and legality. The four heads in the image represent the Theatre Manager, the Exotic Performer, the Prosecution Barrister, and the Prude, Miss Prim. The Theatre Manager, with a thoughtful expression, is likely the one who initiated the game. The Exotic Performer, with a seductive smile, is the one presenting the striptease. The Prosecution Barrister, stern and focused, is preparing to make his case against the performer. Miss Prim, the prude, sits with a disapproving look, her hands clenched in indignation. The Strip Tease card game offers two variants, each presenting a moral dilemma. In one version, players take on the roles of the performer and the prosecutor, with the objective being to outmaneuver each other in a game of strategy and wit. In the other variant, players assume the roles of the Theatre Manager and Miss Prim, attempting to maintain the balance between entertainment and morality. The Strip Tease card game, with its complex rules and adult theme, was a reflection of the societal debates surrounding morality and entertainment during the 1930s. The intriguing characters and their interactions, as depicted in this photograph, continue to intrigue collectors and historians alike. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where morality, entertainment, and legality intertwined in unexpected ways. The Strip Tease card game, with its Joker cards, serves as a reminder of the complexities and contradictions that defined the 1930s.
