What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains film reviews and a pun contest rather than political cartoons. **Film Reviews:** The critic dismisses several contemporary movies as mediocre—notably "The Student Prince of Heidelberg" (criticized as "pretty but terribly, terribly dumb") and "As One Woman to Another" (an "ice cream soda sex farce"). "Sunrise" receives backhanded praise as great but flawed. These reviews reflect 1920s silent film criticism. **Main Advertisement:** The Murad Cigarette ad features an "Embarrassing Moments" scenario—a stranded motorist lighting a cigarette to appear nonchalant when out of gas. This appeals to aspirational masculinity and social composure. **Pun Contest:** Judge invites reader submissions for illustrated puns, offering publication as prizes. The example shows a man pawning a Yale lock ("Hock, Hock the Lock!"). **Sidebar Ads:** Period product advertisements for nose adjustment, cartooning courses, and Abbott's Bitters occupy the remaining space, typical of magazine monetization practices.
