Capra Film Begins
Run at Met.

"You Can't Take 1t With You" the
Pulitzer Prize play which Frank Capra
translated into one of the finest of
screen comedies, moved into the Met
ropolitan yesterday after an impress
sive two-week run at the Earle.
Having drawn heavily upon this
departments superlatives during that
fortnight, the picture finds itself with
very little more to be said of 1t other
than to remind those who missed it
that they are putting themselves in
definite position to feel remorse.
Dealing with family which rates the
pursuit of happiness as a chase that
might be successful, the Aim intro
duces a group of characters and an
arrangement of incident that Is one
Of the most piquant ever offered to
movie audiences.
Mr.. Capra enhanced the basic val
ues of his picture by providing it with
one of the most effective casts Holly
wood yet has assembled for a comedy
offering. Heading the group is Lionel
Barrymore as the eccentric Grandpa

Stewart, Jean Arthur, Mischa Auer,

Merle Oberon, Bette Davis, Irene

it would be much nicer if the press

which the cameras could pick up.

My Lucky Star Now
At the Columbia.

With little to recommend it but
Sonia Henie's flashing ice skating,
MY Lucky Star" has moved to Loew's
Columbia for a second week on F
street. Miss Henie's dancing on ice,
of course, is sufncient recommendation
for any number Of people who are
assured that she has several thrilling
sequences here. Best of them, and
in fact one Of the best things she ever
has done on the screen, is the Alice
in Wonderland" ballet, a gay and de-
lightful fantasy. 1t hasn't much con-
nection with the rest of the picture,
but it is better by far than anything
else in the film.
Other than the exciting moments
Miss Henie provides there is one
bright comic 1nterlude wherein Billy
Gilbert shines. Other than Miss Henie
and Mr.. Gilbert there is hardly a
bright moment, and nobody shines
particularly. Joan Davis, Cesar Ro-

E. Dewey, with any association OF the
photoplay's central character with Mr.
Dewey prevented by the line: New
York did it, why can't we?" Mr..
Dewey probably will appreciate this
if he sees the film, for Il Am the
Law (Which, incidentally, has moth
ing to do with Mayor Frank Hague),
leans more toward hokum than it does
to plausibility
But the hokum and the humor and
the excitement are brought OF exceed
ingly well by Director Alexander Hall,
Edward G. Robinson and the others
involved. It's rip-roaring enough to be
a fine time even though you couldn't
believe it if you had the imagina-
ton of its script writer. 1t is very fine,
too, to find Mr.. Robinson once more in
role which permits him to be in a
good humor even unto playing at
comedy on occasion. The story also
puts him on the right side of the law
without softening him. One of the
most hilarious moments of recent
weeks is the sequence wherein Mr..
Robinson does the big apple with
Wendy Barrie, but you will have to
see that to appreciate it.

Mr.. Robinson plays the special
prosecutor, law professor who more
or less inadvertently takes over the
racket-busting chore on his sabatical
year. The Columbia Pictures people
have provided him with the. usual
problems faced by those persons who
uphold law and order for the cinema
Witnesses won't talk. His own Office
is full of stool pigeons, in the gangs
employ, who listen at telephones and
things. He can't get money to carry
on his fight. He even is fired for not
getting results.
But these things could never stop
an Edward G. Robinson. Perhaps
because Of his long criminal career
in previous pictures he knows how
best to fight crime, and fight it he
does with a maximum of fireworks
Mr.. Robinson plays his role zestfully,
vigorously and with generous dash
of salty humor. It's pleasure to
watch him, also a pleasure TO watch
some of the others-Barbara O'Neil,
Wendy Barrie, John Beal and Otto
kruger-who help keep things inter-
esting.
1t also is pleasure to find Jan
CARRIER and his orchestra on the Earle
stage. For Mr.. CARRIER, while his music
may be corn" to those musicians of
that cult of which Mr.. Goodmand is
the high priest, while his band may
never arouse the more rabid litter
bugs" to their strange ecstasies, is a
fellow who has attained much de-
served popularity. 1t is a popularity
which attests his ability to combine
the sweet with the swing, an ability
which makes for some very fine do
ings at the Earle this week
In addition to providing music that
starts toes tapping and falls pleasantly
and lightly upon the ears at the same
time, Mr.. CARRIER has brought with
him some top-notch speciality perform
ers. The best Of them are Lorraine
and Rognan and Patricia Norman.
