What you’re looking at
This page from Judge contains satirical humor mixed with period advertisements. The main joke references **Aimee Semple McPherson**, the famous 1920s evangelist and radio preacher, with a pun on her middle name ("Semple minded"—simple minded). The caption suggests she's not intellectually sophisticated, a common satirical jab at religious figures of the era. The letter from "Nate Collier" mocks American tourists' exaggerated expectations of Paris—the writer debunks stereotypes about Parisian wickedness and explains that "rouge" comes from brick dust and catsup, poking fun at both the city's mystique and naive travelers. A courtroom anecdote jokes about a woman claiming no man has kissed her, satirizing legal absurdity and female chastity claims. The **Murad cigarette advertisement** targets affluent men seeking luxury goods—a common marketing approach in this era. The remaining content is cruise ship advertising typical of 1920s Judge publications.
