What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The main elements are: **Advertisements:** Club Cocktails (Heublein & Bro.), Diamonds on Credit, Romeike's Press Cutting Bureau, and Cortez Cigars dominate the layout. **Editorial Content:** A brief mention of the American Press Humorists' Nashville gathering, noting absent members like Ring Lardner and Ellis Parker Butler. The piece praises their "rare comradeship" and observes that humorists "rarely" speak their wit aloud—they instead "catch things on the fly." **Cartoons/Illustrations:** Two James Montgomery Flagg covers titled "Wallnuts" and "Are My Lips On Straight?" are advertised as available prints. The page also includes light humor pieces like "His Choice" (a poem about a man preferring fashionable dress) and "Mechanical" (a joke about a plumber). **Historical Context:** The page reflects Prohibition-era advertising (pre-1920) and demonstrates Judge's mix of high-brow literary humor with consumer advertising aimed at educated, affluent readers.

Dixon Merritt, writing of the intimacy of “the blessed bunch,” keyed their rare com- eship in this: The portion of the Nashville public that attended the Rotary club banquet and other public functions during the week that the American Press Humorists were here, got, of course, a very fair impression of the men who brighten up the pages of the American press, but it is within the circle of the members, in the quieter moments when the family is to- gether and strangers are not present, that personality counts for most. It is then that the subtle things are written, then that the humorists draw together in the fellowship that has made them, perhaps, the most de- voted brotherhood in America. Mostly, the press humorists write their stuff. Very rarely do they speak it. It is, therefore, a test and a charm to them to catch things on the fly, to make neat double and triple plays.” His Choice simplicity in dress,” He said, nd hate to see A woman gallivanting ‘round With dresses to the knee. Now yonder is a girl who knows The proper things to wear; Observe her gown of modest length, And smoothly parted hair.” Just then came tripping into view, A vision a la mode, A skirt so short that half a yard Of silken hosiery showed, Paint, powder, tresses auburn-dyed And coiffured right to date, And lo! he left the modest maid, To wed the fashion plate.
