# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three separate humor pieces typical of Judge's style: **"Bim James' List of Ten Common Faults of Golfers"** (top cartoon): A satirical drawing by B.D. Adams showing a golfer failing to connect with the ball, illustrated as a spider-like figure with multiple golf clubs extended. Golf was a popular upper-class pursuit in the 1920s, and this series pokes fun at common player mistakes. **"The Legend of Every Girl"** (left): Edna M. Traylor's story satirizes the romantic illusions young women hold. The narrator consults various married women seeking advice before choosing a husband, only to discover through their complaints that "romance is a myth." This reflects 1920s anxieties about marriage and gender expectations. **"The Matinee Talkers"** (right): Nathan Phillips' dialogue piece mocks theater-goers who chat loudly before shows, discussing ticket prices (matinee seats cost $2.50), gossiping about the plot, and generally being annoying audience members. All three pieces target familiar social behaviors of the era with gentle, collegiate humor.
