MEANWHILE HARDYS
PROSPERFD

But through all this confusion
ranged the disquieting prosperity
of the Hardy pictures. Nobody
could figure them out. They had
no stars, almost no sex, scarcely
any action, no pretentious produc-
tons, no gripping social messages
to deliver. and-worst of all-al-
most no stories, When you boiled
them down. they seemed to be of
the simplest possible construction.
just a series of incidents.
The first picture, "A Family
Affair."" was intended merely as a
cheap quickie and was released in
March, 1887, with Lionel Barry
more and Cecilia Parker getting
the billing. Rooney wasn't even
mentioned In December, 1887, the
studio decided to try a series be-
cause the response had been mildly
encouraging. Barrymore was in
England for "A Yank at Oxford, :"

CREDIT STONE RATHER
THAN ROONEY

For years, Lewis Stone had been
skidding into character bits. and
Mickey Rooney never had top bill
ing. The youngster is a star now
by virtue of his prominent roles
in the five Hardy pictures which
have been released. but Hollywood
itself is more inclined to credit
Stone for the astonishing triumph
of the series.
The year 1888 was time for
filters and headaches among pro-
ducers because the industry rashly
had dedicated itself to better
things through the Motion Pic
lures Are Your Best Entertain
ment" campaign. For brief
while, picture budgets were inflat-
ed lavishly and casts were packed
with expensive stars. The fans
remained apathetic.
Some of the Drawer executives
suspected that the time had come
in a troubled world when success
full pictures would have to have
grim social significance. But
Blockade" died at the box offices.
Musicals also were proven to be
poison. Sex themes We're sug-
gested as a topic for sagging in
terest. but when the bitter battles
with the censors were over, screen
plays had been slashed and puri-
fled. Scrambled biographies and
rewritten history were made into
pictures which prospered accord
ing to the amount of action they
contained. Outdoor action stories
of whatever period, from Robin
Hood to Test Pilot" usually were
hits.

Simplicity Is Key to Hardy's Success
Without a Star
Family Film
Is Smash Hit
BY PAUL HARRISON
MA service staff Correspondent
HOIINUnnn r. .t...-

HOLLYWOOD - The pictures
which seem to have constituted the
most significant development in
movies in 1888 were terrific and
colossal only in their success.
Judge Hardy and his family had
modest beginning and only the
humblest ambitions. They have
endured to upset practically all
screen traditions and to become.
as a group, the biggest money
makers for Hollywood.
Since 1912, when Adolf Zukor
and Famous Players thought up
the star system, flicker makers
have insisted that the revenue
from any film. regardless of its
story, is directly proportional to
the prominence of the players in
volved. But there was not
single star in the roster of the
Hardy family. and most of them
were actually obscure
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-01-23
THEN THERE'S
JONES FAMILY

The Hardy pictures cost about
S275, 900 each and may be counted
on for a net profit of 100000
Love Finds Andy Hardy" may
clear a million. None of the other
family series in Hollywood is in
this price or profit class. The
Jones Family films are budgeted
below S200,000 and are frankly
intended for double bills.

West opened the jack of clubs,
which East overlook with the queen.
East next cashed the king of clubs
and then shifted to spade, which
South won with the singleton ace.
1t is now incumbent upon you, as
the South player, to win the re-
manning tricks in order to fulfill
your contract. Before reading our
answer plan your play.
The proper play is to lead a dia-
mond from your hand and go up
with dummy's ace, for East is def
nitely marked with the king Why?
After winning two club tricks why
would East abandon the suit and
shift to q spade? There is only
one possible answer-East knew that
South would trump club with the
diamond jack and that West would
be unable to overtrump. South
would then be able to place the
diamond king in Easts hand. Fur
thermore, the king was certain to
be singleton, for otherwise East
would have had nothing to lose
by playing third round of clubs.

anti is prefixed to common noun
not beginning with 81" the hyphen is
not used. Thus we have antiwar,

 Adverse aspects rule today. It is not favorable for labor and espec- ially unfortunate for women work CTS. Wage increases will be de- manded and employers may be suc- cessful in resisting higher costs for trained men The stars today favor those who are heads of industry.
 Heart and Home: The configu- ration is encouraging for the heads of families. The stars seem to pre- sage domestic happiness and good fortune for those who sustain their economic responsibilities, but dic- tatorial methods will be resented.
 Business Affairs: Manufacturers will receive many orders that de- mand speed Mills will work over time as severe winter adds to the need of warm clothing Warning is given that disappointment may attend shipments abroad Oil at- tracts attention as production prob lems interfere with exports. Fuel will be sorely needed by the poor n cities, for labor trouble will affect the supplies of coal.
 National Issues: Warning is giv- en that the public must repress emo- tionalism in regard to war news. Spy consciousness should be overcome since the welfare of the nation de- bends upon normal thinking and ormal pursuit of business and pleas ure
 International Affairs: Hitler who is said to employ five astrologers comes under an unfavorable sway The delays in war offensives are due to advice about lucky and un- lucky dates, it is reported Disin- terested seers believe that the Die tator reached his zenith of power before Munich and foretell tempor- ary victories which will be followed by defeat or the close of the spec tacular career before the end of 1941.
