TIVOLI THEATRE.

Comedy and Drama.

"Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever' ; opens on Tuesday at the Tivoli Theatre. In this latest of the Hardy saga the family gets a taste of romance and drama. The Judge, portrayed by Lewis Stone, becomes involved in a crooked promotion stunt which threatens the savings of the Hardys as well as of their friends. The irrepressible Andy, naturally none other than Mickey Rooney, quarrels with his girl friend Polly Benedict, and falls in love with his beautiful dramatics teacher. To win the esteem of his teacher Andy writes a- play for his class show and wins the leading role in it. The young teacher in a moment of loneliness listens to Andy's boyish declaration of love and finds herself suddenly being asked in marriage by the lad. The Judge, despite his own worries, tries to talk Andy out of his infatuation but the latter won't listen. Finally, on the day of the play, the Judge turns a wise trick which saves all the money mulcted by the promoters and Andy discovers that his teacher is engaged to someone else. Without doubt the most poignant and moving love story ever brought to the screen. Columbia's "Man's Castle" will be the associate film. The stars are Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young. Both Tracy, who won the. 1938 Acadj emy Award, and Miss Young have appeared in scores of excellent films; "Man's Castle" ranks easily with the greatest.
