Okay, students, go to the head of the class. *••••• Leo, you know, has enlisted for the duration. He's in the Army, the Navy, Civilian Defense and ready to serve wherever wanted bv his Uncle. Have you seen "Joe Smith, American"? Recommended, incidentally, by our generous First Lady. • * * * We don't speak much about shorts in this column, but it's hard to keep quiet about "Main Street On The March", made with government cooperation. • • • • The exhibitors of America, as well, are all out for our war effort. Their screens will inform, uplift and divert. Three essentials in a crisis. • * • • Among the diversions that Dr. Leo has brewed in his own laboratory is the newest rattle of that famous Hardy family skeleton. • • * • Despite the natural presence of that exciting, energetic, connubial dynamo — Mickey Rooney — nothing personal is intended by the title — • • • • "The Courtship of Andy Hardy". *■•■•• It's undoubtedly impossible to refer to a beautiful young lady as a dark horse — • • • • But watch Donna Reed in this hardiest of the Hardys. • * * • Space doesn't permit much about "Mrs. Miniver", (Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon) ; "I Married An Angel", (Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy); "Ship Ahoy", (Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton, Bert Lahr, Tommy Dorsey 's orchestra) ; and "Rio Rita", (Abbott and Costello). ••*•■•* There's so much to say about the merits of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures. We really ought to have two columns. Still * * * * Yours for conservation. —£ea Hollywood t \ W. H. FAWCETT, JR.
