No Wedding Bells For Rooney Yet

By--Sheilah Graham

Master rooney has three love interests in No. 9 of the "Hardy" series—"Andy Hardy Meets a Debutante"—which seems a lot. But Mickey says. No, the more the better." After this I am emboldened to question Rooney on the status of his private life romances.

His first reaction fc a withering silence —for which lie soon gives the reason, "Here lam 1!) years old, and I can't be foon with a girl without reading that I'm going to marrv her. It's all so sillv: I'm too young to get married. Besides I've got to look after my mother. When and if I want to get married, I'll he the first to know. I won't learn ahont it in the newspapers." Ihe hov is right. The current system of linking in Holy Matrimony a movieite and the companion of one evening is rushing matters —-to put it conservatively. On the other hand. Lana Turner eloped with Artie Shaw after one date with him. And William Powell didn't have many more pre-marital appointments with Diana Lewis. I wish we Hollywood columnists were clairvoyant. * « JJOBERT STACK, currently seen with Deanna Durbin in "First Love," is spending hie spare time rebuilding the "Stack Special" roadster, with which he broke the Lake Muroc, California, stock car record at 115.08 m.p.h.
