NUMBER of theater managers make a practice of standing near an exit after a show is over and listening to the com- ments of patrons as they leave. There is a spontaneity to these nugget criticisms that often is a bet- ter barometer of the entertainment value of a picture than may be ob- tained in the drama columns or by direct questioning. Not many nights ago a man rose from his seat near the front of one of Washington's downtown theaters. Though the theater was still dark he chuckled aloud as he gathered up his coat and hat and started up the aisle. The music he had heard still rang in his ears. Muttering to himself, he started out and then came a moment of silence, wherein his voice could be heard over a large section of the theater. There was unmistakable sincerity in it and an enthusiasm that the seasoned com- mentatgr must eschew. And what he said must have delighted the theater manager if he heard “By gollyl That liked that.” was good. I | to Woodley, * ok ok ok DAY AND KNIGHT.

This is no joking matter. I found a note to call The Star.” “Yes, sir,” replied Office Boy Francis Knight, “but I think you'd better talk to some one else.” The voice on the other end of the wire was that of Clifford Day, who led 3,000 farmers to Washington this week to show their approval of the New Deal. * % % % GARDEN HATRACK.

T THE pretty swell dinner given by the National Geographic So- clety to Admiral Byrd and his party there was beefsteak and fancy ice cream. Some of the husky young explorers dug into the beefsteak with obvious relish and were moved to discus sthe relative merits of other meat. Whale steak, it seems, is very sim- ilar in taste to good beef, when it is fresh. When it has been kept a while, however, it gets richer and mighty. Seal meat was described as a sort of cross between beef and beef liver.
