A croupier calling out "Trois Cent Soixante-Quinze" while a young woman asks what that comes to "in Cuban Daddy?" sets the joke at a Havana casino table. Reginald Marsh drew the scene for *The New Yorker*, probably in the 1920s, when American visitors were a familiar presence at Cuba's gambling houses and magazine cartoonists often mocked their free-spending ways. Marsh is better known for his crowded views of New York street life and Coney Island, and his eye for well-dressed crowds around a table carries over here.
