as there are people who love movies
which hold the mirror up to the
simple, unpretentious and universal
facts Of existence. How long that
may be. no one knows, but 1t takes
almost no Imagination to see the
possibility of a sustained attitude
which might not only employ
Mickey Rooney permanently, but
also keep his descendants occupied.
Truth to tell. it is not Mickey's
appearance here today in the sew
enth of the Hardy series. Judge
Hardy and Son." which impels this
reflection upon serials and their
unshakeable hold upon the public
fancy.
On the contrary, 1t is the picture,
Brother Rat and the Baby" That
one represents a fresh addition to
the growing number of continued,
or continuous, stories on the screen.
For it, Warner Bros. have reassem-
bled the cast of the sparkling
Brother Rat" which, when it was
made, seemed merely to be a screen
version of a highly popular stage
comedy. It did not take long, how
ever, for the studio master minds
to recognize the story as belonging
to that genre which can go on and
on with ever-heightened $50 far,
anyhow popularity. From there,
it was but a short step to a second
chapter in the saga. and a third
from the original authors already
is en- route.
Thus a serial is born and with it
apparent security for those fortu-
nate enough to have been identified
with the original.
** X
In the case Of two prominent
members of the cast of Brother
Rat and the Baby" it would not
have made the slightest difference
to their careers whether or not the
story was continued. They are Jane
Bryan and Priscilla Lane, both Of
whom can write 1899 down as their
year of greatest progress. When
they participated with such youth
full verve in the making of Brother
Rat year ago they were just two
of the more promising young peo-
pie on the studio pay roll. Since
then both have achieved full-f1edged
stardom, the prestige, big dressing
rooms and salaries that go with that
degree of eminence.
Miss Bryans progress has been
the more artistically brilliant of the
two. of course First step in it was
her work as the daughter in "The
Old Maid" a role that pitted her
against such skilled performers as
Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins
and by nc means to her discredit
when the final returns were in.
Good as it was, her work in that,
however, was inferior to the bril-
lance Of her Leni in I'VE Are Not
Alone" Playing opposite Paul
NUM- in that picture, Miss Bryan
kept pace with him throughout the
dinacult task Of imparting life to
James Hilton's tragic story of some
fine, simple people.
The careers of both girls, Incl
dentally, should be encouraging to
the rather more plain members of
the sex who have wept in their
chimney corners that only beauty
has chance in Hollywood.
