What is a juve?

The dictionary says it’s a juvenile lead, but I don’t understand this definition.

It’s a colloquial abbreviation.

It refers to the juvenile lead in a show/opera, etc.; the juve is the leading young man.

Example from “Variety” April, 1935: “Jones is a good-looking juve and possesses a corking tenor.”
