There he meets Patsy Weatherby (Dolores Moran) in a hotel lobby. Patsy, an old friend of Ira's wife, Sally (Joan Leslie) tells Ira about Sally's doings since he has left California.

He looks upon these friends as a threat to the stability of his marriage. Patsy, blonde, flashy but attractive, is a particular source of annoyance to Ira. In an effort to save their marriage from collapse, Ira and Sally move from Hollywood to Laguna Beach where he obtains a job in a garage.

(Running Time: 86 Minutes) Still 643-47 Mat No. 209—30c Together again after their hit in ‘Hollywood Canteen," Joan Leslie and Robert Hutton play sweethearts in Warners’ gay, new comedy-romance, "Too Young To Know," which arrives Friday at the Strand. Dolores Moran, Rosemary De Camp and. Harry Davenport are featured in the supporting cast. Joan Leslie Has Fun Romancing In Pictures Joan Leslie, currently costarring with Robert Hutton in Warners’ “Too Young To Know” at the Strand, is really having fun these days romancing in pictures. That’s because the romances are carried on with men closer to her own age. “Tt’s more like the real thing,” she says, hitting the nail on the head with those words. Joan began having screen love affairs at the age of fifteen, and her first cinema sweetheart was Humphrey Bogart. The picture, as you may remember, was “High Sierra,” and Joan lost out in love then to another honey, Ida Lupino. Next, while only sixteen, she was the envy of millions of girls who saw Gary Cooper, forty-ish, making love to her in “Sergeant York.” Then there was another actor, cld enough to be her father, who romanced with her. He was Jimmy Cagney and in “Yankee Doodle Dandy” the two were seen as man and wife. In “Higher and Higher,” Joan, still in her ’teens, romanced with Fred Astaire, and sometime later her heart interest in “The Hard Way” was Jack Carson, young but still some years her senior. Then, with her leading man progressively becoming of an age closer to her, she found her self cast opposite Robert Alda in “Rhapsody In Blue.” Now, with Robert Hutton in “Too Young To Know,” Joan is really having fun—just as she did when the two of them appeared in ‘Hollywood Canteen.” No oldster is Bob. He’s only a couple of years older than Joan,. who has just passed her twentieth birthday. And it looks like they’re already established as a new romantic team. And so far as Joan’s concerned, that’s just dandy. Actress Bounces Back To Snag Movie Role Barbara Brown, unable because of ill health to play the role of Robert Hutton’s mother in Warner Bros.’ “Too Young To Know,” currently at the Strand, plays a part in the picture after all. Completely recovered from an attack of influenza, she was given the role of the woman who adopts Hutton’s infant son. The role originally intended for Miss Brown is, instead, portrayed by Rosemary DeCamp. Co-starred with Hutton in the film is Joan Leslie. Warner Romance Arrives Friday At Strand Theatre (Advance Reader) “Too Young To Know,” War ' rer Bros.’ new comedy-romance which opens on Friday at the Strand Theatre, is one of the first Hollywood efforts to treat a delicate subject—that of kissand-run marriages—with intelligence and humor. Starring two of Hollywood’s most popular young stars, Joan Leslie and Robert Hutton, the film tells a timely story of young love and the almost insurmountable difficulties that arise in its fulfillment. Was Magazine Serial Adapted for the screen from a successful Saturday Evening Post serial by Harlan Ware, “Too Young To Know” presents Joan Leslie as a young girl who falls head over heels in love with Robert Hutton, equally immature, equally irresponsible. Though the youngsters are actually too young to marry, they are too much in love to care. The film recounts their laughter and tears as they struggle to make their marriage rich and lasting. Also featured in the film are Dolores Moran, Rosemary De Camp, Harry Davenport, Arthur Shields and _ Barbara Brown. “Too Young To Know” was directed by Frederick de Cordova and produced by Willam Jacobs from a screenplay by Jo Pagano.
