Watts, Richard, Jr. (1898–1981), critic. Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and educated at Columbia, he had long served as the film critic for the Herald Tribune before succeeding Percy Hammond as that paper's drama critic in 1936. After spending the war years in China he became the theatre critic for the New York Post, a position he held until a few years prior to his death. For the Post he also conducted a pithy column called “Random Notes on This and That.” The noted press agent Richard Maney described him as “urbane, sensitive and waspish.”
