What you’re looking at

This is a humor page from *Judge* magazine featuring jokes about theatrical productions and modern dating scandals. The top cartoon references "George White's Scandals," a real Broadway revue known for risqué content. The jokes mock romantic and sexual impropriety: the first suggests a man's excessive sweetness indicates dubious character; the second contains a double entendre about a woman's past with sailors. The bottom cartoon about "Allen and Savo in Vogues" (likely another theatrical production) satirizes the dating habits of young women in the Jazz Age—specifically the trend of unmarried women taking automobile rides with men, which was scandalous behavior for the era. The joke implies promiscuity through the exaggerated claim that a girl has taken so many car rides she needs a road map, playing on contemporary anxieties about women's newfound independence and changing sexual mores.
