THE HARDY FAMILY GO WEST.

NEW FILM OF LOVABLE FAMILY. * | Andy Hardy all done up in a cowboy suit romps through one of the most hilarious of the Hardy Family series to date “Out West With the Hardy,.” For this latest adventure the entire family is in top form. With the locale moved to a ranch some of the fun that transpires when the incorrigible Andy meets a ten-year-old youngster who can out-shoot him, out-ride and outrope him may well be imagined. Mickey Rooney’s “Andy Hardy” gains with each portrayal. Outstanding in “Love Finds Andy Hardy,” he surpasses even that performance. The newest addition to the Hardy troupe is little Virginia Weidler who gives Mickey many a had moment. The remainder of the family is intact. Lewis Stone, as Judge Hardy, has new and baffling legal problems to solve. Fay Holden, as Mrs Hardy, shoulders her share of the burden and Cecilia Parker finds a new love interest in Gordon Jones. * * * • Casting of two of Hollywood’s most vigorous villains for important roles in “Beau Gest” was announced at Paramount by Producer-Director William A. Wellman. Previously announced for the three top roles of the epic ol the French Foreign Legion were Gary Cooper as “Beau” Geste, Ray Millard as John Geste, and Robert Preston, Paramount’s newest find, as Digby Geste. In addition J. Carrol Naish has been assigned the part of Rasinoff.
