What you’re looking at
This page features a portrait sketch labeled "Madge Kennedy," drawn by Guy Hoff. The accompanying verse praises Kennedy as an entertainer with "Magic" in her laughter and eyes, noting her success both on stage ("Golden") and in film ("silver on the screen"). Kennedy was a popular American actress of the early 20th century, known for theatrical and silent film work. The playful poem uses "Magic/Madgic" as a pun on her first name, celebrating her charm and talent. This appears to be a fan appreciation piece rather than satire—*Judge* magazine occasionally featured admiring portraits of popular entertainers alongside light, complimentary verse.

| 1] | | al | | Drawn from life by Guy Hor is a Madgic in her laughter. There is Madgic in her eves. sl ittle bit of Madgic dropped from out the mimic skies. On the stage her art is Golden. She is silver on the screen. And we judge we're not Hoff bad with such a Madgic little queen. 12
