Mervyn LeRoy, First National’s ‘youthful director, who already has to his credit ‘‘Flying Romeos’’ and ‘*No Place To Go,’’ directed the picture. ; LIZZIE GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN ‘‘T have felt like a step-child since the new Ford arrived.’’ This is one of the ‘*Lizzie Labels’’ on the famous old Ford used in First National’s ‘‘ Harold Teen,’’ the picturization of Car] Ed’s noted comie strip, coming next to the Theatre. However, Mervyn LeRoy, who directed the picture, doubts if the new model will ever be as popular with the American youth as the old one has been. The old Ford, with top missing, paint gone, fenders dented and covered with ‘‘ wise cracks’’ is an institution among high school and college students, and is often considered a greater claim to fame than a scholarship, in the opinion of LeRoy. The Ford used in ‘Harold Teen’’ is the property of a fraternity at Southern California University, in Los Angeles, and was loaned for the picture by its owners. **No bright and shiny new Ford will ever occupy the place in the hearts of the students that this wreck does,’’ LeRoy declared.
