This page contains film criticism and domestic humor typical of 1920s-era Judge magazine. **"Judging the Movies"** reviews recent films, praising actress Phyllis Haver's performances in "Chicago" and "The Way of All Flesh" while criticizing the male lead Alan Hale in an unnamed sea-going melodrama, saying he's miscast—humorously comparing him unfavorably to wrestler Bull Montana. **The dialogue jokes** are light domestic humor: one involves a wife asking her husband to change a dinner order to an "entreaty" (wordplay on "entrée"), another depicts a new doctor's wife asking a patient to return tomorrow, only for him to eagerly accept since he'll be the doctor's first patient—making it a "surprise." **The advertisement section** promotes the Sunkist Jr. electric orange juice squeezer ($14.95), claiming orange juice prevents "acidosis" and recommending families consume gallons daily. This reflects 1920s health fads and the marketing of new electrical appliances for the modern home. The page blends entertainment criticism with consumer advertising, both aimed at middle-class readers.

However, Miss Haver did another excellent piece of work and I hope some director gives her a crack at another job such as she had in “Chicago.” There are too few good actresses in the movies to have them going to waste. cent Just What He Wanted Jones rang the bell at the new doctor's house.
