"Mistaken" date of first use for "movie"?

[Joel S. Berson]

Fred, there is no 1902 instance of "movie" in OED2 (the earliest use
there is 1912).  I don't have access to OED3 at home.  But in any
case, even if OED3 has a 1902 date, its entry for "movie" is probably
described as "draft".  What's to acknowledge?
