These ardent admirers of Mickey'S
will be no more surprised by hint
that there has been room for i'm
provement, to be sure, than will
others who are startled to find that
the ebullient young man has occu-
pied some of the room. But here
it is, an unrelenting fact, that
Mickey Rooney is quite agreeable in
his new picture, having toned the
general level of his emotional dis
plays somewhat below their former
happy plane, that plane on par
with an afraid alarm in a boiler
factory. AS a matter of fact the lead
ing man of ANDY Hardy's Private
Secretary" indicates on several oc-
casions in the new film that he may
put behind him that school of act
ing which considers the demands OF
subtlety met when grimaces are un-
accompanied by extremely loud
shouts.
This pleasant circumstance, plus
the fact that Jane Murf1n and
Harry RuSkin have provided script
that is bright and shining eX-
ternally and solid within, makes the
new Andy Hardy adventure one OF
the better ones, maybe even the
best of the lot. There even seems
to be new zest to the approach,
Just as if these same players had
not played these same roles in every
Hardy picture and as if George
Seitz had not learned the technique
thoroughly by directing every Hardy
film but one.

There is Furthermore, if the fore
going report is not sufficient recon-
mendation, young newcomer to
the cinema who graces, and con-
siderably, Mr.. Rooney's new photo
play, almost even steals it from him.
She is Kathryn GraySon, entrusted
as her first Hollywood chore with
the role as the private secretary"
of the title, playing that role in
manner which indicates she is a lass
you will be seeing often in the
future, one, too, whom you will be
glad to see. She is siXteen-iSh, looks
bit like Andrea Leeds and can sing
like a nightingale out of a dream.
She has so much charm, as matter
of fact, that Andy Hardy regards
her as a being apart, someone to be
looked upon with awe and respect.
Followers of the series will be glad |
to know that Andy also looks upon |
his high school examinations with |
awe and respect in the new film, |
though it is only after he flunks one
of them that he does so. Getting
him out of high school is the major
problem of the plot, teaching him
something of life as it affects those
on the other side of the tracks the
first incidental problem. These and
other minor problems are downed
with all the ease you might expect
of any film script, but also with a
wit that is gayer than you might
expect and a spirit which makes
"Andy Hardy's Private Secretary"
something to be seen even by those
who have not counted Mickey |
Rooney among their especial cellu-
loid friends.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Snow

she's In the opera.
That tiny tinkling voice you heard
singing down the wishing well in
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" rises high and clear and
f1ne and rich these days In "Rigo-
letto."
It belongs to pretty Adriana Case
lotti, 25-year- New York colora-
tura soprano who was the speaking
and singing voice of the heroine
in Walt Disney's cinema dramati-
zation of the famous fairy story.
As "Gilda" in "Rigoletto," she
made her operatic debut this spring
in Baltimore with the Columbia
Opera Co., and thus stepped out of
the Snow White role with which
she had been nationally identified.
Every one so far has thought Of
me as q little girl and visualized
me only as Snow White" she said
in an interview. I'm not such q
little girl now. My heart and my
hopes are in the opera and radio

She enjoyed the anonymity of her
role in Snow White" depending
alone on her voice for fame, and

even would prefer radio roles to the
footlights of the operate stage.
Because of the anonymity of her
Snow White role, credit for her work
in that picture has been misplaced
on several occasions when other
singers have been enormously iden-
titled as the voice of the little prin-
cess.
I'm glad I was snow White. It
was happy thing TO translate my
voice into the child-like songs of the
little heroine" she said.
But now, she says, 1t is more salts
flying to exercise the full flexibility
Of her coloratura, and opera and
radio have offered the answer.
Borr in Bridgeport, Conn, Miss
Caselotti is the fourth of her family
to achieve success in the voice arts.

The latest advance will be the

CLEVELAND, Jan. l3 tPl.-What
had seemed to be scarcity in the
supply of steel scrap now for the
moment appears as moderate
plenty" the magazine Steel said to-
day, explaining:
News of governmental price pres
sure on scrap resulted in a flood of
offers on part of dealers to sell at
below prices prevailing previously,
though usually not as low as the
$40 base
Lower scrap prices would relieve
pressure on pig iron consumption.
The proposed $40 scrap quotation
would re-establish a normal diff
ferential between iron and scrap
and tend to re-establiSh the usual
$3.50 ratio charged in open hearths.
IF Washington is successful in
forcing steel scrap prices down TO
the basis of $40 for heavy Pitts
burgh melting steel, the leading
reason for higher finished steel
prices for second quarter will have
been removed. Some figure that
two-thirds of the increased cost
of steel making since April lies in
scrap"
The bulk of current steel sales
Is for the second quarter at p-.~cs
prevailing at the time of shipment
with April the most popular month
set for deliveries. the review sa'd.
Producers are virtually sold out for
the first quarter, and wide plates
have been sold as far ahead as AL

to recent high levels. though with
more exceptions than usual re-
ported, and deliveries lag farther
behind. Thus steel sheets AVERAGE
