What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and a crossword puzzle** rather than political satire. The left side features **art print advertisements** for Judge's department, offering reproductions of paintings at reduced prices before inventory. "The Busybody" by Sam Brown and "Tee for Two" by Raymond Thayer are promoted at 50 cents (down from $1.00). The right side contains **"Judge's Crossword Puzzle No. 72,"** a standard word puzzle with horizontal and vertical clues. The clues are lighthearted wordplay typical of 1920s humor, referencing domestic life, romance, and contemporary slang (references to "the A.E.F.," wives, "hermits," "bootleggers," "bathing suits"). Below the puzzle is the **solution to the previous week's crossword**. The page demonstrates how Judge—primarily a satirical magazine—also functioned as a **commercial entertainment product**, blending advertising, puzzles, and general interest content alongside its political and social commentary found elsewhere in the publication.
