This is a humorous film column by Carroll Carroll discussing movies and actors of the era. The two cartoons illustrate absurdist scenarios: the first shows a circus elephant in a studio, captioned "Darn it, Jimmy, don't you hate these dead circuses?" suggesting movie studios were recycling circus acts. The second depicts a taxi driver navigating a street filled with tunnel-like structures, punning on the phrase "the city is honeycombed with vehicular tunnels." The text primarily discusses actress Colleen Moore and actor Leon Errol, debating whether Errol's return to his comedic role in the film "Sally" suits him. Carroll playfully compares himself to Desdemona (Shakespeare's character who married a man of different race), making a self-deprecating ethnic joke about his Irish heritage. The column's tone is lighthearted gossip about Hollywood productions, typical of entertainment journalism in Judge magazine's satirical style—mixing film criticism with wordplay and absurdist humor.
