This page features promotional photographs for the silent film adaptation of Joseph Hergesheimer's novel "Tol'able David." Rather than political satire, it's an entertainment feature showcasing cast members Richard Barthelmess and Gladys Hulette. The captions note Barthelmess's reputation from working with director D.W. Griffith and his acclaimed performance in "Way Down East," while praising Hulette's appeal as the film's heroine. The photographs include both a scene from the film (top) and individual portraits of the actors. This represents Judge magazine's typical coverage of contemporary popular culture and cinema for its readers.
