What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine features theatrical humor and criticism: **The Cartoons (top left):** Three brief comedic sketches with punchy dialogue. The "James and Brewer" exchange mocks sentimentality about seeing the moon. The "My Girl" panel jokes that a scenario involving a K. of C. (Knights of Columbus) member would provoke the K.K.K.—likely playing on anti-Catholic tensions of the 1920s era when the KKK was resurgent and virulently anti-Catholic. **The Article:** George Jean Nathan reviews the Theatre Guild's production "Processional" (which apparently underperformed). Despite this failure, Nathan praises the young Guild members for their intelligent manuscript selection and casting taste, suggesting they're outperforming professional managers and building financial success. The page reflects 1920s theatrical culture and broader social anxieties about religious prejudice prevalent during that period.
