Rooney, rated one of the most popular actors in Hollywood today, has a characteri- zation directly opposite that of Andy Hardy in the Judge Hardy series. It is a dramatic role which tests his versatility in every way. With Sam Wood directing, au- thentic race-track scenes were made at Santa Anita, Inglewood and the Del Mar layout. Among the famous thoroughbreds used in scenes far the picture are Seabiscuit, Lloyd Pan, Dauber, Specify and Indian Broom Most of the action takes place be- hind the scenes of a modern race track with all the details of handling and racing horses carefully filmed Authenticity and realism were in- sured by careful research on racing as it is handled today. Various horse- men and jockeys cooperated in in- suring proper picturization of these | scenes, The story is built around Terry, | a broken-down veterinary, and| Mickey, stable boy. When Ladybird, | the horse that Mickey loves, loses | continuously, Gale, its owner, ls“ | 8oing to have her destroyed. Mickey pleads with him and gets the horse | in lieu of his wages. He learns from Terry that the horse is suffering | from an ailment which can he cured | by a dangerous operation. He fin- | ally persuades Terry to operate.' When the horse starts winning, Gale takes him back. In a dramatic de- nouement, Terry forces Gale to re- turn the animal to Mickey although | in so doing he sacrifices his own freedom. | ENROUTE, NEW POST Pastor Fred Wagner and Mrs. ‘Wagnor with their two small chil- | dren, Mariba and William from | Rexford, Idaho, visited at the ]chenth~Day Adventist Mission headquarters while the oMunt Mec- {Kinley was in port Saturday eve- ning. | Pastor Wagner will be located at Anchorage and have charge of the Anchorage and Palmer church- ves.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., August i4.—"“Everybody's being so won- derful to me"—this is Leatrice Joy speaking—“and it makes me s0 happy—makes me think the pleasure at my return might be mutual. I'm thrilled about it ... it's wonderful to be working again. , . " It's been all of 10 years since the famous DeMille star faced the cameras. In that time she has changed from slim and charms- ing glamor girl to slim and charming matron. She's been being Mrs W. S. Hook, soeiety matron, and a mother to Leatrice Joy Gilbert, daughter of the late Jack Gilbert who was Miss Joy's first husband. She still has hoth jobs. Mr. Hook, who is wealthy and owns a baker's supply business, is “very understanding” ahout her desire to work again, and little Leatrice, well— “She’s 14 now. She’ll be away at school. She’s at that age now—you know, mother thinks she’ll have a fine afternoon with daughter and she tells daughter so, and daughter looks a bit dismayed and says, ‘Oh, mother, I'm so sorry, but I'd planned to go with Mary and Sue today.’ And mother smiles and says ‘Of course, dear, that’s fine. I have something else I can do— think nothing of it.’ “Oh, I've been busy. Golf. I'm not very good at it—not a ¢lyb champion like my friend Vilma Banky, but I like to play.
