It was here we had a pleasant visit with Harry G. Watson, secretary to Governor Troy, who was out of the city, and it was in this city that we met Jack Mullen, an old college classmate of Rev. J. P.

Directed by Archie Mayo. Cast: Jascha Heifetz, Joel McCrea, Anarea Leeds, Gene Reynolds, Wal- ter Brennan, Porter Hall, Terry Kilburn, Walter Tetley, Chuck Stubbs, Tommy Kelly, Jacqueline Nash,: Alfred Newman, Mary Ruth, Marjorie Main, Arthur Hohl, Paul Harvey. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 24.—The great violinist gives of him- self generously in his first movie, and it is therefore a musical event. Heifetz in close-up, his fingers and bow in close-up, will command the interest of all music-minded fans. He is assisted by a remarkable group of young symphonists, the Peter Meremblum alifornia Junior Symphony Orchestra, who are equally generous in their offerings. “They Shall Have Music” is a title applicable to the audience as well as to the poor children of the story's music school. Brennan is head of this free school. To keep it going he needs credit and funds. To get both Gene Reynolds, as a young toughie regenerated by his desire to emulate Heifetz, goes to all lengths to enlist the violinist’s support, wins out in time to forestall the impatient creditors headed by Porter Hall. With different trimmings and much appealing sentiment, this is the story idea used in the Deanna Durbin-Stokowski film, “100 Men and a Girl.” The picture has a charm of its own, how- ever, in its abundance of youth. Little Miss Nash, in coloratura numbers, and Mary Ruth, at the piano, are spotlighted, the former a delightfully ingenuous personality even without her music. Heifetz, in his few acting moments, plays with fitting dignity and humanness. The boy Reynolds and his youthful confreres steal * pany plant, pa and damag Hare tine of ned by by both the acting honors, with Brennan, McCrea and Miss Leeds prac- tically sideline characters. Mayo’s direction emphasizes human comedy and heart stuff, and the story serves adequately to carry the musical feast. “It was at this city we first met|here with an outboard boat, he Ma Pullen, who has been in Alaska | went down the Crow to the Porcu- ¥rench Denials | cently at Wind Cave National Park, for forty-two years, who is 81 }e'ux‘pme and into the Yukon, eyentually Meanwhile in Paris, French au-!Hot Springs, South Dakota, where old and does not feel a day over|yeaching Fairbanks. thorities denied any knowledge of |her father was transferred recently 90.

To the publishers, the commercial clubs and civic or- ganizations, the transportation! companies and the individuals who contributed to the pleasure of the trip we owe a deep debt of grati- tude. “On the trip to Alaska we had a little first hand experience with la- bor trouble.

Murray, George Breakston, Charles Peck, Sidney Miller, Addison Richards, Olaf Hytten, Erville Anderson, Robert Kent ;- . The Hardy Family returns to the triumphant path in its best effort since “Love Finds Andy Hardy.” The folks, after the trip west and their more recent flight into brief riches, have settled down to the lives of ordinary folks—and Andy (Rooney) goes through the agonies of first love for the pretty new dramatics teacher (Gilbert). The judge (Stone) expresses spring feverish- ness by falling for a couple of ‘con men, but his worries are merely a side issue compared to Andy’s throes. Inspired by his devotion, Andy writes the class play, performs the leading role opposite Polly (Rutherford) with whom he is temporarily, as usual, spatting. The teacher is a sympathetic, understanding young person, and though Andy is let down hard in the end, her expert handling of the situation mends his broken heart, sends him forth with new and cockier ideas of romantic conquest. Loaded with laughs and the comic tragedy of adolescence, the picture reaches high hilarity in sequences of the school play's presentation: the moon, among other things, goes wrong as it has in school plays from time’s beginning. Find: Miss Gilbert, in her first role, reveals charm and poise as well as the beauty that caused her to be taken from her 'cello in the studio orchestra. “MILLION DOLLAR LEGS.” Screenplay by Lewis R.
