COME time ago the following letter
~ was received by this department
from C. N. Odell, live-wire publicist in
Paramount's publicity office. Dated
January 2, it said:
I'm inclosing a clipping showing
the results of poll of the New York
film critics tc determine the best pic
ture, the best masculine performance,
the best feminine performance, the
best direction and the most readable
script of 1885.
There is a theory that there is
vast difference of opinion between
Hollywood and New York City, as ex-
planned in the inclosed clipping. per-
sonally hold the view that there is a
vast difference of opinion between New
York City and, let us say, Washing
ton, D. C.
IT am writing to suggest that the
washington critics take a poll along
the same lines of that of the New
Workers and determine the majority
opinion of the five film critics OF the
National Capital. would greatly ap-
preciate being informed of the results
of the Washington poll and believe
that these results might be so inter-
esting that they would receive wide
publicity"
Now Carter Barron comes forward
with the same suggestion. And so to-
day the local film reviewers are gath
ering together at luncheon to see If
they can map out some solid proof of
their opinion about last seasons films
The experiment should be interesting.
We have never seen five people yet
who could agree Solidly about any
thing.

| ATITALYS CRITICS
10000 Soldiers Ordered to
Parade Tomorrow as
League Defy.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ROME, June 6.-Premier Mussolini
hurled a warning. cast in steel and
men, at Italy'S critics today.
The Fascist dictator called 10000
soldiers in the army's best motorized
squadronS to parade the empire to-
morrow as his gage against possible
criticism at future League of Nations
sessions on the Ethiopian question.
Their triumphal review will center
at Rome, where Viceroy Pietro
Badoglio, victorious commander of
the Ethiopian campaign, now in Italy,
Is to receive the accolade of hero from
the nations highest leaders.
Militia to Participate.
Virtually all militia squadrons,
in addition to the regular army groups.
were instructed to participate in the
"demonstrative mobilization" to ex-
hibit Italy's power to thrust when
and where she wills in the face Of
sudden enemies.
Informed Fascist sources recently
reported plans for military demon
strations along the northern frontier
coincident with the League Council
session at Geneva June 16.
CTheSe maneuvers, it was asserted,
would summon several million men
under arms. The new order ap-
parently resulted from increased ten
sion over the League situation since
the acceptance of a demand for
special session of the League Assem-
bly,.
Geneva announced yesterday the
Assembly will meet June 80 TO dis
cuss Italy's annexation Of Ethiopia
and the question Of continuance or
dropping Of existing financial and
economic sanctionS.)
Depends on Austria Hungary.
At the same time Mussolini moved
to provide his people and Europe gen.
orally with a show Of strength, he
bulwarked his position in Central
European diplomatic negotiations.
Mussolini told Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg of Austria he is depend
ing on Austria and Hungary to plead
the italian cause at the League meet
ing The two dictators discussed mu-
tual problems yesterday.
Schuschnigg went back to Vienna
from Venice taking with him, it was
believed in Fascist circles, a mission
Of reconciling Austro-G German diff
culties. with the possibility of a fu-
ture three-power rapprochement be-
tween Italy. Austria and Germany.
Such an alliance could be held It
was believed, as an ace up Mussolini's
sleeve If the New Socialist government
in France proves TO be a communist
threat"
Hapsburgs Discussed.
Another important topic discussed
by the premiers, Fascist circles re-
ported, was the restoration of the
Hapsburgs to the Austrian throne.
Schuschnigg was reported by in
formed circles to have asked Musso-
lini whether he thought the restora-
ton of Prince Otto would put his
(Schuschnigg's newly seized dictator
ship on a paying basis. Mussolini
either did not reply or protected his
answer by the thorough censorship he
has put into effect throughout the
empire
Informed sources said Mussolini
also gave Schuschnigg direct advice
as to methods the Austrian dictator
might use in solving his political dis
agreement with Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg. whom he deposed as vice
chancellor.
