This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** with one cartoon. **The Main Cartoon:** A bartender confronts a regular customer (labeled "Loafer") who visits nightly despite having a wife and six children at home. The loafer's response—that a wife and six children *is* reason enough to escape to a bar—is the joke's punch line. This satirizes domestic frustration and men's use of bars as refuge from family obligations, a common theme in early 20th-century humor. **Advertisements:** The page features multiple product ads (Forhan's toothpaste for pyorrhea/gum disease, Mothersill's travel sickness remedy, Abbott's Bitters, and others) typical of Judge's revenue model. **Also included:** A film review of an actor named Blue in a melodrama, and a promotional offer for "Judge Jr." drink recipes—reflecting the magazine's mix of satire, entertainment commentary, and commercial content aimed at middle-class readers.

Judging the Movies (Continued from page 22) Blue. Blue is an amusing actor and does particularly well as a potted reveler in carnival scenes (“Wolf's Clothing,” like “So This Is Paris,” gives him plenty of chance to display his talents in this line). But as if to garnish his piéce de résistance with all the incidentals of a New England boiled dinner, his performance is smothered in madmen and _ at- tempted murders, in villains and attempted abductions, in detec- tives, including a vastly tiresome stage Englishman; in waterfront pirates and virtuous blondes and beastly ogres; in other words, in half the props in melodrama’s closet. The action, which takes place above and below ground in New York and on the water, is equally extravagant. A quarter of it would suffice. The picture rather fits the vast new Roxy Theater in which I saw it. It has its good points— tL |! “ Y —Tatier | you want to mix with the | best people | HERE’S HOW!
