Scheduled for a tour of U. S. museums, Producer Wanger's experiment in cultural publicity had by last week got so much attention for The Long Voyage Home that he counted his $50,000 well spent. Meanwhile another Hollywood studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was nosing around picture galleries, wondering whether it shouldn't commission some paintings too. Said Producer Wanger, gravely posing for the press photographers: "It's all for the sake...
Boom Town (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is the muddy hamlet of Burkburnett, Tex., and things start happening there when Big John MacMasters (Clark Gable) and his friend Square John Sand (Spencer Tracy) bring in a gusher with stolen equipment. Then Square John's girl (Claudette Colbert) comes West and Big John appropriates her. For 20 years Square John and Big John go on mooning over Claudette, bringing in gushers, getting rich and going broke like two big kids on a seesaw. When Big John begins to neglect Claudette for a saucy little baggage named Karen Vanmeer (Hedy Lamarr), Square John...
Part of the Aga Khan's racing stable has already been dispersed. (In December he sold four horses for fancy prices to Cinemagnate Louis B. Mayer and the beasts were shipped to the U.

M. I. for $3,750,000. M. G. M. has long borne a grudge against ASCAP, holding that ASCAP should make the same vigilant checkup of music played in cinema houses that it does over the radio...
Andy Hardy Meets Debutante (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) marks Mickey Rooney's ninth appearance as bratty Andy Hardy, his first since he was crowned King of the Screen and the No. 1 box-office attraction of the U. S. cinema. More believable as Andy than as young Tom Edison, Cinemactor Rooney mugs his way from Carvel to Manhattan to make good on a boast that he is acquainted with a glamorous bud named Daphne Fowler (Diana Lewis). The Judge (Lewis Stone), nominally heading the expedition, is engaged on a legal chore thoroughly in keeping with the Hardy character: protecting...
