Ladies' Home Journal Number (Norman Anthony) - Judge - September 17, 1927

https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html

Humorist Sidney James Perelman (1904-1979) wrote for Judge magazine before he became famous for his books and screenplays.  He is credited here for the feature article ("For the Honor of Old Nassau").  He may have also written "Beauty Hints for the Business Woman" by "Dr. Nell Perelman" and "A Little Heart-to-Heart Talk" by "Gladys Perelman."  In these early magazine parodies ("numbers"), it is sometimes hard to tell if the authors' names are real or joke-names.  The parody ends at some point when the magazine reverts to the typical 1920s jokes & poems.  The last "Journal" page is the ad parody for "Jumbo Motor Cars" on page 21.  This magazine parody is quite tame when compared to the post-World War II college magazine parodies that dominated the humor market in the 1950s.
