. Binne the Matro-Goldwyn-Mayer Ficture LovE "Finds andy Hardy" was released it has become the surprise
picture of the year 1938, and wherever it has already besa shown people have stormed the theatres to soo 11.
"Love Finds Andy Hardy" pakes no claim to pretentiousdesa. No fabulous aus vão incurred in ita product- ion. No sɛazingly great names sppear in its cast – though word has just reached us that Mickey Booney's performance in this production has skyrocketed ž‡m intò stardom at the M. G. M. 3tudios. Yet, by its ossense of excellent entertain- ment and good slaan run it has already carved a niche for itself in the hall of good plotures. It will give you more enjoyment and entertainment than "8 Sport Girls" of "It Happened One Night", both of which you will remembór were also surprise płoturen.
"Love Finda Andy Kardy" is a picture which, the shole family will enjoy, and talk about for days efter.
We have taken this unusual method to publicize this ploture, because we feel that we have to employ some novel scans with which to tell you that "Love Finds andy thrdy" is really excellent entertainment.
"Love Finda Andy Hardy" will nonsence its initimă aurcaping at this theatro on Friday.
