Loves, Laughs and Headaches Of a Typical Family

“JUDGE HARDY’S CHILDREN” AFFAIR OF HILARITY (Mayfair: Now screening.; Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney, Cecilia Parker and Fay Holden again unite as the interesting family for the third of the “Judge Hardy Family” series. This one is “Judge Hardy’s Children,” a sequel to “You’re Only Young Once,” which takes the family from the little country town to Carvel to Washington where the judge is named on a power commission. Mickey Rooney as the young son flirts with a girl from the French legation, Cecilia Parker as the daughter goes to gay parties with a State Department employee, lobbyists try to use her as a “leak” on her father’s decisions, but tho wise old judge nimbly outwits them, daughter learns about men and returns to her real sweetheart and again all is tranquil in the family.

The RKO Radio set of “Mother Carey’s Chickens” resembles Public Education Week—what with four tutors on hand to seo that Jackie Moran, Donnie Dunagan and their stand-ins keop up with, their school lessons.
