Movie Actors
Critical Of
Their Films j
By Kobbin Coons
HOLLYWOOD What- the movie
publlo really thinks about after see
ing a new picture provides a con
stant source of amusement and sur
prises .to producers who make It their
business to find out. .
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.
