civilian audience which saw its re-
opening this week cit had a one
night stand in June) for the Army's
Emergency Relief Fund took 1t to
their hearts.
The very professional band which
played the overtures and the transi-
tions between scenes set the mood
and from the beginning the show
had speed and a convincing infor-
mality.
A series of five one-act plays,
with vaudeville acts to keep things
going in between, the sketches also
are now being played at various
camps by soldiers.
There is little romanticism of the
service in the plays-nor did the
youthful writer's fall back on the
types of soldiers seen SO often in
plays and movies; thus the roles are
as real as the men who portray
them.
One Of the plays gave the audi
ence a terrific emotional jolt when
a lot Of talk about Gertrude
Lawrence visiting camp ended
up with the lady herself coming out
to kiss the soldier who had won
the title of her sweetheart.

HOLLYWOOD.
The signing of Neil Hamilton by
David Selznick to a long-term con-
tract is an example of the pressing
need for male stars. With the ex-
ception of few unimportant roles
Hamilton has not been active in
films for years. Hollywood, with
plenty of good material, was prodi-
gal in the period when Hamilton,
an excellent actor, was allowed to
slip into comparative oblivion.
Rorald Colman, Bill Powell and
Richard BarthelmesS were bosom
companions of Hamilton Is years
ago, and while Hamilton held the
pace for couple of years. Colman
and Powell outdistanced him and
Barthelmess retired. AS Hamilton
is considerably younger than Col
man and Powell, yet over draft age,
he is an ideal find He will costar
with Claudette Colbert, Monty
Woolley, Shirley Temple and others
in Since You Went Away" as his
first role under the new contract.

Mickey Remembered
That $40 Transaction
For Andy's Jalopy
BY the Associated Press


HOLLYWOOD.
Many movie fans like to keep their
screen players in character. This is
particularly true of those who play
In serials. At the Hollywood can
teen, where men of the armed
forces get their chance to see and
talk to their screen favorites, stars
have become used to being addressed
by their character names.
Mickey Rooney had a recent ex-
perience with child fan, who asked
him:
did you get the $40, Andy?"
Mickey thought a minute, but 1t
stumped him.
What $20?" he asked.
you know, the money the boys
promised to give you"
Then Mickey got it. "Oh, sure"
he said, you mean the money for
the car"
"Yes," said the child. I'm sure
glad you finally got IT."
The money referred to the price
for which Andy Hardy sold a car to
gang who didn't pay him in a
recent Hardy film.

The problem is, would fans accept

appeal? If William Powell decides
to retire, and there are rumors to
the effect that he may after COM

HULL WOOD.
A few days ago I received a letter
from Midwestern farmer. Inclosed
was the deed to a piece of land he
had purchased. The letter requested
that 1 go over it and check the le-
gality of the document.
I answered his letter, explaining
that the sovereign State of Cali
fornia had not vouchsafed me the
privilege of practicing law, possibly
due in large measure to my very
extensive ignorance of that rather
complicated subject. I suggested
that he contact reputable attor-
ney in his own community or, if he
knew none, obtain the name of one
from his county bar association.
I mention this because it is case
in point. I have answered many
such letters, since assuming the
cinematic mantle of Judge Hardy
1t goes to show how real and COM
pletely a screen identity can at
tach itself to an actor.
There are advantages to this, If
the actor is playing a character that
can be looked up to. Peter LORE
tells me that the shoes on another
foot when the actor plays villainous
roles, and WACS write in nominat-
ing him as their "favorite hangup
boy" OF course. there are disad-
vantages, too. Because people take
Judge Hardy seriously, Actor Lewis
Stone has to watch his step. He
can't be seen in night clubs, for
instance. In my particular case it's
no hardship. because I don't like to
60 to night clubs. But If I did I'd
have to summon up brave, little
smile and sacrifice my frivolity on
the altar of the popular conception
of the character play!
Creation of a Family.
But, seriously, playing Judge
Hardy has been one of the most
pleasurable experiences in my life.
Repeated pictures in the series have
woven the family" into a band of
sincere friends. We really have
come to regard ourselves as the
family the public envisions us as.
Ma Hardy, Andy Hardy, Marion,
Aunt Milly-we all call each other
by our screen names. When some
thing nice happens to any one of us
the rest Of the family" rejoices.
II one of us has a mishap we all
rally to console or help. There has
sprung up q great loyalty.
The pictures have brought us
many outside friendships as we'll. A
fan letter, answered, leads to an
other. Finally personal meeting
may occur, and new friendship is
made.
There is certain sense of achieve
ment, too, in playing in a Hardy
family picture. Those man to man"
talks with Mickey Rooney, for in
stance. Without preaching, they are
designed indirectly to instill ideals
into the youth of today.
Letters we receive tell us that
usually this aim is successful and

that the authors meanings have
fallen on fruitful ground. When this
happens we all feel very proud that
we were selected, as Oscar Wilde
once said of Sir Henry Irving, to
be "a trumpet set for Shakespeare's
lips to blow"
Sincerity the Prerequisite.
The secret of an effective charac-
ter on the screen, as in politics, pro-
fessions or, in fact, all walks of life
is sincerity. The character of Judge
Hardy was conceived by the author
as a sincere one. At all times the
script is honest.
This is true of every character in
the series. No synthetic gags" are
given Mickey. No overdone senti-
mentality is meted out to Cecilia
Parker when she figures in puppy
love episode. The script keeps its
characters natural, normal people
at all times. The comedy in the pic
lures comes from natural happen
ings that could, and do, occur in
most any household. In fact, the
acid test for any episode is, Has it
ever happened?"
AS the judge, I get other requests
for advice than legal ones. Parents
write, asking how to deal with this
or that problem regarding their off,
spring. A wayward boy is the bur-
den of many a letter. Sometimes
young people write of their social
problems in school, and often teach
ers ask for suggestions.
I must confess that I'm usually
stumped. I have no son, and my
daughter never provided me with
most of the problems I'm called on
as Andy's father to solve. In some
cases 1 suggest that boy be sent
to military school. am a firm be-
lever in this training for instilling
habits of orderliness, respect for
constituted authority and develop
ment of systematic thinking and
prompt mental responses. I am
most grateful for my own military
training in two wars and years in
the Army Reserve.
But when the question goes into
school fraternities and such mat
ters, relationships with girls and
fads and foibles of today, 1 hesitate.
I couldn't answer them at all, except
for one fact.
I can always put the problem up to
Mickey Rooney.

Yet Another
Ex-Juyenile
Tries Again
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
When Mary Mccarthy, 19-year-
old starlet, signed a seven-year con-
tract at Goth Century, Fox last week,
she and the studio took a chance
on the tradition that a child star
never makes comeback as an adult
star. Mary, when a tiny tot, was
a Vitaphone starlet in the early
days of sound films, later appear
ing as meanie in several pic
lures with Shirley Temple and Jane
Withers. She and Judy Garland
continued to do bit work and ex-
ira parts after their other two COM
panions had gotten into better
parts.
AS time brought her to the
awkward age. Mary continued to
play extras, sometimes working as
a chlorine in films and local the
ater productions. A comedy song
and dance number, "Elmers We'd
ding Day." in the original stage
production of Meet the People" !"
was excellent, out brought her no
film bids. She then did some
Shakespearean repertory work in a
little theater group.
If Mary Mccarthy becomes a big
star, which she may, according to
Joe Schenck, who was so impressed
with her talents he signed her with
out film test, she will defeat the
traditional child star jinx. Jackie
Coogan, Mary McAllister, Baby Peg
gy Montgomery, Madge Evans, Vir-
ginia Browne Faire and many other
great child stars had inconspicuous
careers or none at all once their
juvenile charms changed into ma
turity.
Judy Garland Is making the
grade, however, and Shirley Temple
is working on what may be the
start of a successful mature career.

NOTES

In a recent article, The Un- imagined America" Archibald Mac Leish stresses the vital need for Americans to make up their minds quickly upon the kind of a world that we, wish to live in, visualiz-. ing clear picture. of that world in order that we may be the bet ter able to bring it into being. He writes. "ig.a. We shall not have peace in truth peace for our lives, kpeace for the purposes of our lives, until the world we wait for has. been born. But it will not be born until we. recognize it, until we shape it with our expectation and our hope The, new worlds do not bring themselves to being. Meps minds, when they are ready for them, find them The labor, and the longing must be ours" Each Monday night in recent weeks our USO Forum Club has been doing its modest part in small way toward this very end. Our discus -sions have dealt with the Four Freedoms and with the principles of the Atlantic Charter in the world of the future They have been earnest and thought-p -provok- ing and they have involved the thinking of young men and women Eof many diverse points of view. The Club is inclined to believe that this discussion group represents one of the most important, of all it's activities. Since its beginning this group has been the beneficiary of l the hospitality of many persons; lduring the past several weeks we -thave been very generously received by Hostesses Mrs Harold Smith, Mrs. R. J. Sommers, Mrs. Paul A. Lindquist, Mrs. James Boyle and Mrs. w. H. Matthews, Jr.
