What you’re looking at
This page mixes theater criticism, jokes, and advertising typical of 1920s Judge magazine. **Upper content:** A theater review criticizes performers in what appears to be a contemporary play, mentioning actors Frank Morgan and Mannart Kippen with unflattering assessments of their acting styles. **Humor section:** Multiple short jokes appear, including one about a woman who's owned a car for years without incident versus a man who's had the same wreck repeatedly—playing on gender stereotypes about driving ability. Another jokes about "majamas" (mishearing "pajamas"), and one contrasts the "wise man" and "fool" discussing two sides of a question versus a fly-paper analogy. **Main advertisement:** A large Murad cigarette ad features an illustrated man's profile with smoke, marketing to aspirational consumers: "For the man who feels entitled to life's better things." **Bottom cartoon:** A domestic scene labeled "Ezra—He ain't done right by our Nell!" depicts what appears to be a confrontation, likely referencing a seduction or abandonment scenario—common melodramatic subject matter of the era.
