What you’re looking at
This page features theatrical humor from early 1920s Broadway productions. It presents comedic scenes and dialogue snippets from three plays: "Listen, Lester," "The Scandals of 1919," and "She's a Good Fellow." The jokes rely on domestic and romantic situations typical of stage comedy. One scene shows a jealous husband threatening to leave his wife, only for her to respond that she can tolerate his jealousy but not his neglecting household duties (forgetting to put out the cat). Another depicts a couple's absurdist courtship logic about viewing a non-existent moon. The page includes photographs of cast members, identifying actors like George White, Mabel Withers, Arline Chase, and Irene Wilson. Rather than political satire, this represents Judge magazine's theatrical coverage—entertainment journalism mixing stage gossip with light comedy to amuse readers familiar with contemporary Broadway productions.
