REJECTED VOLUNTEERS

CERTIFICATES GIVEN OTTAWA, Dec. 1. Men who have tried to enlist in Canada’s lighting forces and have been rejected by the medical board carry with them proof they have attempted to serve their country. Light blue certificates of medical rejection are "handed to unsuccessful applicants for recruitment, ' and a duplicate copy is sent to the applicant’s peacetime militia unit if he had been attached to any.

naturally none other than Mickey Rooney, quarrels with his girl friend Polly Benedict, and falls in love with his beautiful dramatics teacher. The latter role is played by a newcomer, Helen Gilbert, who shows definite ability. 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 will not listen. Finally, on the day of the play, the judge turns a tyise trick which saves all the money mulcted by the promoters and Andy discovers that his teacher is engaged to someone else. Only then does he come to his senses to realise that Polly is still, as always, his girl. Fay Holden and Sara Haden, as the restraining mother and Aunt Milly, turn in their usual heart-warming characterisations, Cecilia Parker wins sympathy as Marian Hardy, and Ann Rutherford once again personilies the "sweet sixteen” type of girl who has played a part in every boy’s adolescent years. Terry Kilburn is a newcomer to the Hardy ranks, and is excellent as the little boy who worships Andy Hardy, much to the latter’s annoyance. “Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever” is a delightful entertainment treat in every respect, ancl no little of its success is due to the fine direction of W. S. Van Dyke 11., who seems to have realised every possible bit of pathos and humour in the current adventures of the engaging Hardys. DODGE MS AT FUNLAND The dodge’ms are back in town and young and old can ge assured of a great night’s fun if they visit them in Peel street. These intriguing midget cars travel in all directions, and even when you are involved in a “traffic jam” there are smart attendants to render help. These are similar cars to those operated at the Glasgow Exhibition, and driving them provides the best of amusement.
