Prize Picture
For Earle

Frank Capra's "You Can't
Take 1t With You"-the latest
production by the man who
made "Mr. Deeds Goes To
Town" - comes to the Earle
Theater Friday, September 80.
The screen version of the
famous Pulitzer Prize play, You
Can't Take 1t With You" pre-
Sents a stellar cast including
Jean Arthur, James Stewart,
Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arm
old, Mischa Auer and Ann
Miller.
With kindly Grandpa Wander.
hof barrymore as the central
figure, the story concerns a
romance between his grand
daughter Jean Arthur and
Tony Kirby (James Stewart).
The Vanderhof family lives by
one rule-do what you like and
enjoy yourself. This conflicts
directly with the philosophy Of
Kirby, sr. edward Arnold,
whose guiding principle is to
do anything, whether you like
it or not, provided you make
money.
Some of the most delightful
characters ever presented by
Hollywood are included in the
cast. Besides Grandpa, who
quit work 80 years ago and has
had the time of his life ever
since, there are his daughter,
Penny. who writes plays because
a typewriter was delivered at the
house by mistake; her husband,
who makes fireworks in the base
ment: Essie, who makes candy
so she can study ballet with
dancing master Mischa Auer);
and many others; including Mr..
Depinna, the iceman, who de-
livered the ice one summer day
and hasn't left yet.
Robert Riskin prepared the
screenplay for "You Can't Take
It With YOU" Spring Byington,
Samuel S. Kinds, Halliwell
Hobbies, H. B. Warner, Donald
Meek, Mary Forbes and Dub
Taylor are in the supporting
cast.

Wayne Morris checked in at
8 a. m. today and found a
group of autograph hounds
waiting at the Earle's stage

80, at LoeW's Palace Theater, it
is announced today. 1t will thus
become the second attraction in
local history to move directly to
the Palace after having COM
pleted an engagement at the
Capitol.
1t is undoubtedly the most
talked-about picture of the year
and it's popularity in Washing
ton has been indicative of the
national trend. In New York
it is entering its third week at
week at the Capitol theater, and
other cities report record or
near record business at the box
office.

Tracy Is
Near Death

When the tunnel in which
Oman Dick Tracy and his pal
Steve were searching for the
Stark family blew up at the end
OF chapter four in the exciting
serial Dick Tracy Returns" it
looked as though there was no
chance for the two officers to
survive.
However, how they were able
to live through the explosion
is explained in chapter five Of
the picture, entitled, Death in
the Air" now showing at the
Columbia.
"Dick Tracy Returns" is the
story of the ace of the F. B. I,
while he is on the trail Of the
arch criminal family, the Starks,
composed of a father and five
sons. Tracy finally brings them
to justice, but not until after
many narrowing experiences.

and too rapid shortening Of hours

balancing purchasing power in rela-
ton to prices.
The second cause, superimposed
on the first, Sloan continued, sis the
fact that there has been developing
a growing lack of confidence and a
fear as to the attitude Of government
toward business, as well as to eco
nomic policies that have been enact
ed as affecting the national economy

make creditable showing, but that
the tan-colored whirIwind will win.
AS long as his speed holds out,

much for any fighter he meets. Am

likely to prove a match for the
swarming tactics of the Negro.
Ross announced decision to retire
is wise one. "Barney's through"
was on everybody's lips the night of
his last fight, even though he gave
championship exhibition of game
ness. Barney, who had never been
knocked out, stood the punishment
for Is rounds in spite of the ref
eree's desire to stop the fight. And
no champion, when he has come to
the end of the trail, could feel a
deeper satisfaction in his achieve
ments than Ross.
Bred in the dingy poverty Of New
Y0rk's East Side and reared in the
tough ghetto of Chicago, Ross rose
to pugilistic eminence by sheer
merit. When he won the Chicago
Golden Gloves featberweight title
in 1929, as an awkward kid, he at
tracted the attention Of Sam Plan
and Art Winch, who ever since have
been his managers.
They handled him shrewd1y and
four years later had him winning
the lightweight championship from
the veteran Tony Canzoneri. In 1884
Barney won the welterweight cham
pionship from Jimmy McLarnin. In
a return bout with McLarnin, Ross
was beaten, but came back in anoth-
er year to regain that throne. He
held it against all corners until he
met the dusky little Armstrong, re-
garded by many as the greatest
fighter of his weight since the famed
Joe Cans.
