MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"Judge Hardly and Son."

Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney, and the rest of the famous Hardy Family come to the Majestic Theatre tomorrow in "Judge Hardy and Son." This time, instead of travelling the family stays home. Andy Hardy, son of the family, turns amateur detective to help his father in a law case, and becomes involved with three pretty girls who fill his life with trials and tribulations. The mother of the family becomes ill; for a dark hour they fear they will lose her. It is in this episode that Andy inspires his father to a new courage in a poignaant dramatic scene. Andy turns hero and pilots his sister across a raging flood to her mothers bedside. But the crisis passes, the mother recovers, Andy extricates himself from the entangling girls, and all ends well. Stone. Rooney, Cecilia Parker Fay Holden, and Sara Haden, comprising the "family," are all together in the picture. And Ann Rutherford again plays Polly Benedict, Mickey's "regular" girl friend. Three pretty girls are introduced to plague the great puppy lover, in June Preisser Martha O'Driscoll, and Margaret Early. A notable member of the cast is Maria Ouspenskaya, eminent Russian actress who recently scored an outstanding hit in "The Rains Came. Henry Hull, Leona Maricle, Egon Brecher, and Marie Blake are other members of the cast.
