Those Innocent little stamped, self nddressed postcards, passed out to a departing audience after a local pre view, come back by the scores, bear ing bouquets and bombshells In their usually legible messages of criticism. The main -consideration with; thej audience at large to Judge from returns on a recent preview is enter tainment. Aside from entertainment, however, the crltlcs-for-a-night con sider minute details that are the rea son the producers pay so much atten tion to minute details. When ("ans Criticize One correspondent expressed de light that Pranchot Tone's bedroom In the film was furnished in , dark shades rather than in white and gray "It was more like a man's bed room than Is usually the case in films," said the critic. "She signed the hotel register Mile., and immediately the desk clerk called her on the phone and asked for Madame," pointed out another. Many expressed dismay or surprise at Constance Bennett in a brunet wig. They profor, obviously, that blonds be blonds. Some wanted more chorus rou tines. Eome said It was Tone's pic ture, but Bennett partisans were there to wave her banner. One even suggested a tag-line for tho fade-out and a good tag-line at that. If It happens that the produc ers think the value of the line is suf. flclcnt to warrant a day's retakes, It may be incorporated in the film. 'Although It did not make a mar kedly better record, the 1033 Iowa State football team played to more than twice as many spectators as the 1932 cyclone eleven.
