This page showcases characters from the film "Scrambled Wives," featuring promotional photos and plot descriptions typical of Judge magazine's entertainment coverage. The satire centers on marital complications: Juliette Day plays a wife whose "dazzling smile" conceals infidelity with a "charming widow." Roland Young portrays her ex-husband attempting to smuggle her away from tropical islands. Bessie Barriscale plays a rival character exploiting her "gift for clever comedy." The humor derives from the tangled romantic entanglements—divorces, secret admirers (Glenn Anders), and suspicious spouses. For modern readers: this reflects 1920s silent-film comedy's obsession with divorce scandals and sexual intrigue as entertainment. The "scrambled" title puns on confused domestic arrangements. Marie Chambers provides supporting comic relief. The page essentially advertises the film while mocking its melodramatic plot mechanics.
