Laughs Galore in Life
Begins for Andy Hardy"

Hardy family enthusiasts will
have a new picture to cheer about
in the latest of the group, Life Be-
gins for Andy Hardy" which opens
Sunday and Monday at the Kootenai
Theatre.
Life Begins for Andy Hardy"
strikes one of the most important
notes ever to be introduced in these
pictures, principally the problems
that face a youngster upon gradua-
ton from high school. Whether to
60 on to college or 60 to work is
the problem that faces Andy. Andy
chose to leave home and work for
month, to thus make clearer de-
cision. What happens wheA he cuts
family ties to 60 to New York, get
q lob and go out on his own, makes
for one of the most gripping as well
as entertaining films of the group.
Mickey Rooney, as Andy, has his
best opportunity to date in his
transition from the wisecraking,
housekeeping small town boy, to a
sober, serious young man who dis
covers that life isn't at all what he
had dreamed.
For the third time, Judy Garland
appears as guest star with the Har-
dy Family, recreating her SYM
pathetic role of young Betsy Booth,
Andy's guardian angel in time of
trouble.
As has been the policy in the
past, this Hardy adventure intro
duces two newcomers, in the per-
sons of Patricia Dane and Ray Me-
Donald. Both youngsters promise to
follow in the successful steps Of 9TH
ers who have made their debuts
with the Hardys.
All of the other favorites are as
sembled- Lewis Stone is again the
sympathetic, understanding Judge
Hardy, with Fay Holden as Ma
Hardy, Sara Haden appears as Aunt
Milly and Ann Rutherford as Polly
Benedict.
Sailors With Wings" the March
of Times thrilling new issue, will
show at the Kootenai Theatre Sun
day and Monday. In this story of
u. S. Naval Aviation, the March of
Time shows the current importance
of the swiftly growing air arm of
the fleet, which has come to be
recognized by military strategists
as the nations first line Of defense.
