# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several unrelated humor sketches typical of Judge magazine's format: **"Champion Bathing Beauty"** mocks a beauty pageant contestant who claims to love Shakespeare while appearing vapid. **"We Shall See"** appears to reference 1920s political competition, mentioning Al Smith (likely the Democratic candidate) and Republicans trying to "break him of the habit" of victory. **"That Settled It"** presents a domestic humor sketch about mistaken identity. **"He Fixes It"** depicts a waiter recalling a customer's previous order (ham hocks and cabbage) with humorous precision. The sketches employ common Jazz Age humor: satirizing beauty culture, domestic squabbles, and working-class characters. Without clearer dates or captions, specific political references remain unclear, but the overall tone reflects 1920s American satirical humor targeting contemporary social pretension and gender dynamics.
