Diffgicilt as the seems to be, these unerring col- raicrs have exceeded even their | ilm_masterpleces—*Tt Hxlp- pened One Night,” “Mr. Deeds Goes | | to Town,” “Lost Horizon” and the | others. It is easily the greatest pi ture in the career of Hollywood's | top director writer team. “You Can’t Take It With You" is a picturization of the Pulitzer prize- | forn winning stage play by George S.| | Kaufman and Moss Hart. The stage | play’s delightful drolleries and far- cial fun have been retained to a large degree while a generous meas- ure of comedy-drama and a few | dashes of sentiment have been add- ed to give verisimilitude to the mo- tivation. The result is a superbly in- | “mnatmg picture, interwoven with | remance and genuine emotion. An- all-star- cast, in the purest sense of the phrase, turns in a gal- ilery of impeccable performances. |Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, |James Stewart, Edward Arnold, Mischa Auer and Spring Byington are especialy worthy of mention, Equally sharing top honors, how- ever, are Ann Miller, Donald Meek, Dub Taylor, Halliwell Hobbes, H. B. Warner, Mary Forbes and Sam- uel S. Hinds. .The story concerns itself with the astonishing happenings in the {household of Grandpa Vanderhof, who one morning, thirty years be- Yore, went up in the office elevator, came down and never went back. Lionel Barrymore -plays Grandpa with a simple artistry that is sheer genius. NEWS TTEMS - FROMSITKA SITKA, Alaska, May 4.—(Special Correspondence)—A. P.
