Dan Thompson of the Louisville

"The average film patron,

Sound Logic
w. Ward Marsh, Of the Cleve'
land Plain Dealer:
"The reader is only inter-
ested in what the reviewer
thinks land please, God, let us
hope he thinks. The reader is
not interested in the report on
what the audience thinks. He
wants to know the individual
reaction of the critic. The cap
able critic exercises an honest
judgment, and the good critic
is a sympathetic one, but not
one who permits his Sympathies
to handicap his Judgment"
George Browning, now Of the
Baltimore News-Post:
'The average film patron has
the mentality of pre-cOnceived
moron. 1t is in the effort to
raise that mentality that several
hundred generations have paid
the self-styled critic. The critic
who reviews from any but his
own presumably intelligent
standpoint places himself at one
with the jackasSes. In these
days of bloated advertising, a
critics job is to act as counter
irritant to the press agent"
Elinor L. Hughes, of the Boston
Herald, says:
"Any attempt to echo the
voice of the public ends in dis
honesty for the public is a
many-headed m nSter that
doesn't know it's own mind
most of the time"
The critics, by the way, voted
80 to 20 for the right to express
their own view point. I doubt if
resubmitting the question today
would do more than ratify the YER

Minor Problem

Minor Problem
AS a purely Washington problem
it is not acute. Those who guide
the destinies of the local cinemas
are, in the main, well satisfied
with the existing situation With
reference to picture appraisal. The
managers occasionally fret and
fume when they receive what
thew consider an unfair critical
opinion, but if it reflects no
malice or vicious purpose, they
would much prefer it to a press
agents blurb on the same picture.
The reader, by this time, IS dis
eliminating.
Once was a time when every
picture booked in downtown
Washington was good according
to. the printed critical opinion.
In those early days the press
agent wrote the critical sum-
maries and the newspaper printed
them. The hard working puo-
licist's problem was to find SUI
ficient glowing adjectives that
were not overworked. This was
a very unsatisfactory policy from
the standpoint of the movie GUS
toner and the newspaper reader
since there was no such thing as
an inferior Hollywood feature, &C
cording to the reviews. Even a
child knew this answer was
