JUDGE HARDY FAMILY

HOLD RE-UNION The Judge Hardy family of the screen held a family reunion in real life recently when Mr and Mrs Carey Wilson entertained in honour of the players, writers and director of the series at their home in Bel-Air. California. The invitations were issued in the form of a regular studio script titled “Meet Judge Hardy’s Folks.” The script also stated that “the Judge figures on carving the corned beef early, to let the young folks play a few games and still not be out beyond bedtime.” A “family” dinner table was set, with Lewis Stone, who plays the judge and father, carving at the head of the table. The Wilson home. one of tlje show places of Bel-Air, was decorated in the spirit of the pictures, which are simple human stories, the writing of which Wilson supervises. The guests included Mr and Mrs Lewis Stone, Mr and Mrs J. J. Cohn, Mr and Mrs George Seitz, Mr and Mrs

David Clyde (Fay Holden), William, Ludwig. Agnes Christine Johnstone. Mr and Mrs Howard Strickling, Lou i Ostrow, Cecilia Parker, Ann Ruther-j ford, Lana Turner. Mickey Rooney. 1 Roger Edens. Judy Garland, and George] Breakstone. MACDONALD—EDDY STARRING ALONE Jeanette MacDonald gets a new kind j of part in “Remember To-morrow.” No | Nelson Eddy, hardly any songs and no j old-world costumes. In fact, it is a modern comedy about Coney Island. j Fredric March may be Jeanette’s lead- j ing man. And Una Merkel, who has i just left M-G-M to free-lance because M-G-M did not give her many good parts, goes back as a free-lance to do I her biggest parts in months. Nelson Eddy’s next solo starring picture, “Let Freedom Ring.” is a pioneer story about the rivalry be-1 tween farmers and railway interests. Eddy will have no singing partner and will do all his singing with male choruses.
