Judge — January 20, 1917 — page 24: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humor columns**, not political cartoons. The left side contains ads for liquor (Club Cocktails, Sunny Brook whiskey), a hotel, and patent services. The center section, "Passing the Mustard," presents **humorous revised versions of nursery rhymes** reflecting post-WWI American life—jokes about rising food prices (bread costing more than a dollar), gasoline shortages, and inflation. Other jokes mock doctors who diagnose wealth by car ownership, and soldiers' memory loss from combat. The right side advertises **"Film Fun" magazine**, explaining that movie-making contains behind-the-scenes humor audiences never see on screen. This section appeals to readers' interest in film industry gossip and "inside" knowledge of Hollywood production. The humor throughout reflects **early 1920s concerns**: economic hardship, the recent war's effects, and fascination with emerging film industry culture. There are no identifiable political figures or sustained satirical campaigns—just lightweight topical gags typical of Judge's lighter content.
