Latest Andy Hardy
Film at Columbia

Noteworthy for being the best
lately in the series to which it be-
longs ahd for bringing us a new
young singing star, Andy Hardy's
Private Secretary" has moved now
to Loew'S Columbia to continue its
F street run. The new star is
Kathryn Grayson, a lass with a
winning smile, golden voice and
a personality which enables her to
just about steal Mickey Rooney's
picture from him. Mickey also is
supported by Ian Hunter, in addi-
ton to the usual Hardy people who
appear with him--Lewis Stone, Ann
Rutherford, Sara Haden, ct al. And
you will be happy to learn that
Andy both graduates from high
school and learns little more about
human behavior in this, his latest
adventure. s H. M.
