This is primarily an **advertisement** for Judge's crossword puzzles, with film reviews as secondary content. The left panel promotes that Judge now publishes crossword puzzles weekly in theaters—a novelty at the time when cinema was becoming a major entertainment medium. The right side contains reviews of silent films, likely from 1922-1924 based on the actors mentioned (Charlie Chase, Doris Kenyon, Lloyd Hughes, Anna Q. Nilsson). The reviewer critiques performances in movies like "If I Marry Again" and "East of Suez," making harsh judgments about the actors' abilities. The cartoon at bottom shows a domestic joke: a woman asks why a man froze only one hand, and he replies it's the hand without his diamond ring—a jab at male vanity and materialism. The humor assumes readers recognize these now-obscure silent film stars and understand that crossword puzzles were an exciting novelty worth advertising in theaters.

Kleig Eyes and Kleig Guys (Continued from page 18) \ 7uat I liked best about “If I Marry Again” was the one reeler that followed it—yelept— “Hello, Baby.” in’ which Charlie Chase, Katherine Grant and an un- named soldier-baby tickled my risi- bilities ad infinitum also adeste took me back to the nights when I stood up in my cradle and had the nerve to tell the cockeyed world what I wanted, and knew that, if I yelled long and loud enough, I'd re then the c.e. world has steamrolled me flat as a strip of film. “Hello, Baby” is a novel and very amusing bit of comedy. Greaxixe of “If I Marry Again” I can only say that I liked Doris Kenyon and Lloyd Hughes who labored very hard against the awful odds of a very terrible story. Anna Q. Nilsson must have been relieved to be permitted to do a Brodie from a high staircase and break her con- tract in the first reel. Hobart Bosworth ranted through the picture something terrible, much after the fashion of Monte C when he believed the world was hissen. Frank Mayo never seemed to know where the world was; as if the world had skidded from under him. Myrtle Stedman played the usual matron of a gambling house in which capacity she has attained so great a perfection It's disgraceful the time you waste as to fit her for life outside the sereen. T hope I don’t have to see many more “If I Marry Agains.”” Po Neer fits very well in “East of Suez.” Her porcelain features in this tale of China suggest that in an earlier incarnation Pola was a leaf of orange pekoe that grew up into oriental elegance. The film is full of Chinese atmosphere. Pola cmotes to her heart's content. Edmund Lowe stands up handsome and, all but the happy ending, there are colorful “How does it happen that you froze your one hand and not the other?” “That's the hand I wear my dia- mond on.” comicbooks.com
