# "Judging the News" - January 3, 1928 This Judge magazine page satirizes news stories through brief commentary and an illustration. The main cartoon depicts a movie director (labeled "Movie Director (to Scotch Actor)") on a film set, saying "In this scene you give away a hundred dollars. 'Where's my double?'" The joke plays on the term "double" — the actor requests a stunt double to perform the scene of giving away money, implying that even pretending to be generous requires someone else to do it. This satirizes actors' reluctance to perform charitable acts, even when scripted and fake. The surrounding text items mock various news stories: Broadway train speed records, New York liquor sales, and a Scottish store owner funding an anti-saloon league.
