# Analysis for Modern Readers This page from Judge magazine (October 1924) is primarily **advertisements and filler content** with one substantial film review. **The Main Content:** A critic reviews recent 1924 films, discussing Lon Chaney's performance in "He" (favorably) versus his earlier "Hunchback of Notre Dame," and critiquing Monte Blue in "The Lover of Camille" as a "poor clown." The reviewer argues that comedians don't deserve success if they're morally bankrupt (abandoning wives). **The Western Film Section:** The critic defends Western movies against criticism that they're repetitive—acknowledging they rely on "shootin' irons and horses" and "pretty bum actors"—but praises "The Beloved Brute" as an exception that allows the West to "hold up its head." **The Humor:** A caption shows a grandmother and granddaughter, where the girl admits she tells her grandmother to "Turn off that darn bedtime story!"—a joke about modern children finding old-fashioned storytelling boring. The rest comprises period advertisements (stationery, medical devices, cigarette cases, crossword puzzle books).

Two Celluloid Clowns (Continued from page 19) best pictures of 1924 and one that will stand comparison with any pic- ture ever made. It’s one of the pictures you should see; though you go infrequently. To me, Lon Chaney will add more to his laurels by his characteriza- tion of “He” than he did with the superficial and highly hokumized Quasimodi in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” * * * W: ith “The Lover of Camille” Tam not so much in sympathy. It may be a back-handed compliment to Monte Blue, but he’s a poorclown. Nor can I work up any pity for a man who leaves his wife for another woman and then lets her slip through his fingers. A man like that isn’t a clown, he’s an ass and doesn’t deserve to be successful in the game of love. Some day some one ought to write a play about a clown who, by the very power of comedy, could Pied Piper and balance on his nose as many women as would, standing one on top of the other, reach as high as the Woolworth tower. It would he a prettier compliment to the female sense of humor than that usually laid down by playwrights who apparently know so little of clowns . or of women, announced in won by S.

So they throw a wec the open spaces and keep ‘em open. But in’ this newest Western, “The Beloved Brute,” the West may at least hold up its head with pride and shake a wild and woolly hoof. It’s one of the best, if not the best, I've seen and this, in a great meas- ure, may be laid on the broad and powerful shoulders of one Victor MeLaglen, a he-man of the first magnitude.
