How Did You Meet the Missus?
This is the greatest age for con-
tests Of every imaginable nature
in the history of our country.
Everybody's doing it! All of which

an idea, /. e., to make a picture
about a contest that might end all
contests. That picture is Meet
the MiSsus," co-Starring Victor
Moore and Helen Broderick, and it
is coming into RKO Keith's to-
morrow, Wednesday, June 16.
In the picture the missus (Helen
Broderick) Is forever and always
involved in some sort Of a contest.
She never won single one of them
unless friend husband Victor
Moore) actually did the job for
her. What the husband does to
win these contests for his missus
will give you many a laugh when
you see the picture at Keith's.
All of which gave The Times
and Keith'S an idea too. Why
not have a contest for husbands
only and then maybe the reverse
would happen and the "old man"
would get a little something on
his own. True, The Times and
Keith's were a little selfish, too,
in the matter in that it was
thought that should we make it a

SPEAKING OF CRITICS

} critical ratings, bases his protest
on the fact that the trade paper
places white Horse Inn" among
the moderate successes Of last
season. The musical ran 80 weeks
at the Radio City Center The
alter, but wound up $4,000 in
red ink. That in any language
spells floppo. although it might
be called small change by the
Rockefeller interests who helped
promote white Horse Inn" On
my score card John Anderson is
absolutely right, Variety gets
credit for a juicy error.
Variety also tabulates its own
critics and invariably they lead
the procession, with a higher per-
centage of right guesses than the
top Broadway scribbler. This
would be okay except that Va
riety. being a weekly, its play
catchers have full opportunity to
read everybody else's official
guess and then set down Their
own. In other words they lay
themselves wide open to be called
second guessers.
agree it is readable feature,
but the standard of merit, or the
measuring stick ought to be
changed. Particularly as some of
the mediocre, by every other
standard, including writing, often
land at the top and the most capa-
BILE, either at the bottom or close
to it.
Variety states the case when
it says: 1T seems apparent
enough that the critic who leads
the box score is not necessarily
the best critic" That's it exactly
Then why treat them as cham

historians?
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-06-15

Variety has been keeping a
box score on drama and movie
critics in New York. Averaging
them up like ball players, on their
right and wrong guesseS as to box
office value and length OF run,
chalking up an error when a scribe
ventures no positive opinion.
Variety has been doing TINS
for IL years and still thinks it's
an excellent idea, although most
of the critics involved, including
some who have led the parade,
deem it of no constructive value.
Original purpose of the Critics
Rating was to force the firSt-night
writers to come out in the open
and say whether a play was good
or bad in their opinion. The
trade paper felt that the Broad
way jury was inclined to duck a
straight verdict. 1t now con-
cedes that this indictment for in
definiteness, or straddling the is
sue, no longer holds, but retains
the idea as a readable feature.

New York Journal, one of the
best, dissenting from the latest

They had hardly ceased crow
ing over this victory when Gull
yer City chucked a bucket OF
sand into the sometimes smooth
running California movie ma
chine.
Now. Culver City is the home
of Metro oldwyn-Mayer stu
dos. 1t also houses the produc-
ton activities of Hal Roach, SELF,
nick-International, Victory and
other small manufacturers OF
movies. They claim so per cent
of the released cel-uloid comes
from Culver City. but rival Hol-
lywood producers take that like
a heavyweight wrestler'S claim
to a championship. In other
words, the title is cIouGed.
The Culver City Chamber OF
Commerce sponsors the move
ment to put Hollywood on the
map in the Biographies. Blaine
Walker, secretary, says:
"Our board of directors were
unanimous in voting to change
the name of Culver City to
Hollywood. We believe the reg
istered vO RS of the town will
be almost 100 per cent back
of the proposal"
THE OTHER SIDE
In Martin Quigleys Motion Pic
ture Herald the other side of the
argument is found as voiced by
Carl Bush, secretary of the Holly
wood chamber of commerce. Says
he:

thwart the move. First is to

chamber and show them the
confusion that would occur.
Second is to obtain an in
junction in superior court point
ing out that it would be bad
policy to call the election be-
cause of the confusion the name
change would create.
"Third-and this is our real
ace in the hOle-tO have the
United States Post Office De-
partment refuse to recognize the
name change, if made, and still
cancel their mail with the
Culver City mark"
Hollywood business men are
particularly burned at the drive
of the Culver City chamber.
The tourist business, attracted
by the film industry, is big
thing in this town to the mer-
chants. So is the annual Holly
