Told with relentless honesty,
given striking dramatic imagery I'M
der direction of Mervyn Leroy, and
offering the best work by far of two

box~office attractions-Robert Tay-
Tor and Lana Turner Johnny
Eager" came to the Loew Poll screen
last night as the most engrossing
portrait of CANISTER to reach the
screen since the memorable Little
Caesar"
From the very first moment in
which Taylor, ex-convict posing as
reformed taxi driver, meets Miss
Turner, daughter Of the prosecutor
who had sent him to prison, the
story holds a compelling fascination
as it Weaves through the plot of
the relentless gangster to enmesh
the girl in faxed murder, thus
giving him the upper hand over his
enemy, her father. 1t is only when
he experiences psychological
change that a new man energies
from the cold blooded criminal, who
goes to his death after having ac-
complished the one unselflsh act of
his life.
Robert Taylor seems TO bring the
sum of all his acting experience to
the role of the gangster, giving 1t
penetrating depth of character
shadings.
Miss Turner, as the girl fascinat-
ed by the ruthless criminal, again
reveals that combination of beauty,
polse and sincerity which has
brought her so rapidly to the top.
Then there is the work of Van
Helm. Cast as drunken hench-
man of Johnny Eager, sardonic, filed
with philosophical reflections.
There is not flaw in the entire
cast, which includes Edward Ar
mold in a powerful role as the
father of Miss Turner, Robert Ster-
ling as he fiance, Patricia Dane as
the girl cast off by Taylor, Glenda
Farrell in a poignant part as
pollceman's wife, Henry O'Neill,
Diana Lewis and Barry Nelson

mended as absorbing entertainment,

dramatic power.

gayest comedies.

gram will be shown at the early Bird

HollyWood-When it started the
Hardy Family series nearly five
years ago, Metro didn't bargain tor
child guidance bureau, an advice
to-young- love department, and a
dispensary of legal counsel. But
those are what it got-along with
several mi.on dollars, of course.
The legal service is the only one
Of the responsibilities that doesn
20 into conscientious detail. Lewis
Stone, as Judge Hardy, is so >hor-
oughly established as a common
sense lawyer in the minds OF many
movie patrons that he gets stacks
of letters asking help on cases
some of them astonishingly big
ones. Stone never studied law aAd
can't attempt 10 answer the ques-
tons. So he thanks his Would-be
clients and tells 'em to consult an
attorney in their own home towns.
HELP FROM FANS
But if Stone is deluged with such
requests, he's sWamped with IN
quiries on father-and relations.
These he considers important, and
SO do all the other people on the
Hardy pictures Carey Wilson,
who's q sort Of general supervisor,
Director George Seitz, and the vari-
Gus writer's.
The public is responsible for nu-
merous details of improvement in
Andy Hardy's dress and behavior,
and the group working on the pic
lures finds it a little tough some
times to keep him from being too
prudishly proper. When Rooney
wore a greasy old leather jacket
through most of one film, mothers
wrote to Metro complaining that
their sons had dug out the most
disreputable jackets and were max
ing q fad of them.
Sometimes errors of judgment n
writing have been caught at pre-
views, through opinion cards passed
to the audience. One of the most
obvious was in Love FINDS Andy
Hardy" with sequence in which
an emotionally upset Andy soon rose
and said to his mother. May / 90
to my room? Dinner isn't so good
tonight"
Following this, at the preVieW,
series of gags and funny action fell
as flat as limp platitude. A few
hours later the worried director
found out why; about half Of the
previeW cards asked in effect: How
could Andy be so rude as to tell his
mother her dinner wasn't any good,
and why didn't Judge Hardy baWl
him Out?"
The picture was yanked back in
to the studio next morning and the
scene refined. This time Rooney
said: MON, you're the best cock IN
the world but / just don't feel
hungry tonight. May go to my
room?" That fixed everything fine.
COCKTAIL TROUBLE
A woman visitor went TO Carey
Wilson's home one Sunday and ask
ed for advice about party planned
by her 16-year-o.d daughter and
three friends. '"They want TO serve
cocktails" she said, land the other
girls have permission. My husband
and ! aren't prudes, but we don't
want TO give liquor to such young
sters. We decided to ask what the
HardyS would do about It,"
Wilson took the problem in easy
stride. Serve punch" he suggested.
LET word get around beforehand
that it's pretty potent and that
you're worrying about anyone hay
ing more than couple OF glasses
You might put in just touch Of
table wine - make 1t taste funny"
He got a grateful note from the
mother weeks later. The punch was
q huge success.
