# Who's Who in Judge: Ed Wynn This is a biographical profile of **Ed Wynn**, the editor-in-chief of this issue of *Judge* magazine. The accompanying photograph shows him at his desk surrounded by papers and manuscripts, looking characteristically worried—which the text humorously attributes to the stress of editing a humorous magazine. The brief biography notes Wynn was born in Philadelphia and claimed to have shot the first postman while thinking he was a Confederate soldier (likely a theatrical anecdote or joke). He had been performing on stage for twenty-three years at the time of publication. The text suggests he may become "quite well-known" in the future, indicating this was written early in his career. Wynn later became a famous vaudeville and radio entertainer.
