There is no doubt but that the Of

regard so highly are only tolerated in
the crossroads. A picture can be
tremendous success in the provinces,
but if the Manhattan and Hollywood
critics have not given it good reviews,
the film is a matter OF embarrassment
to its producers. A major lot made a
picture that was blasted by every critic
in both towns which caused the pro-
| ducer's contract to be Cancelled. When
the film reached "the sticks" 1t was q
