So de clares the debonair son ot Judge Hard in the Hardy Family series, newest ot which. Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever. ta bow show ing at the Elslnore theatre. "Every new Hardy story con tains some emotion or reaction that a fellow has to study and un derstand. Now and then, I think, it actually changes some rietrpoint or other, says the youthful star. For instance, in the present pic ture I have to develop a fine case ot puppy love tor my pretty hlgn school teacher. It goes deeper than any previous cases because I'm supposed now to be somewhat more advanced In romantic exper ience. I propose, she tries to make her refusal painless. I Mad out she's already engaged and an in torment, then she. in s sensible talk, brings me to realize that boys like ase aren't ready yet for the real romantic things ot lite." . Although Mickey has his seri ous moments in "Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever. he also haa many hilarious comedy moments. He writes a high school show, stars ta It and helps to build the scenic effects which include a "volcano" that closes the show by setting1 the schoolhouse oa fire. There is a comical Quarrel with Ann Ruther ford, a farewell scene with the pretty teacher, and a talk about marriage with his father that is gripplngly dramatic in its sheer humanness.
