This is an advertisement for *Film Fun*, a companion magazine to *Judge*, promoting its August 1922 issue. The illustration labeled "Tank Stuff" depicts a woman in a bathing suit in water with what appears to be a fish or underwater creature—likely a humorous, slightly risqué image typical of 1920s entertainment magazines. The ad promotes *Film Fun* as a movie-focused publication featuring celebrity content popular with the era's cinema audiences: photographs, jokes posed by "movie stars you know," and reviews referencing contemporary films (including *Nero* and *Robin Hood* adaptations). Notable is Betty Blythe, a silent film star, contributing a story titled "Reel Love." The content reflects 1920s fan culture obsession with Hollywood gossip, star rankings ("Men's Popularity Chart"), and behind-the-scenes celebrity content. At 20 cents per copy, it targeted middle-class readers seeking accessible entertainment news during the silent film era's peak popularity.
