CApRA FILM IS
 STILL PLAYING
 ATL0CAL SHOW
Capitol In eatre Features You Can't Take II
 With You"

Frank Capra and Robert Riskin are delivering their most thoroughly entertaining screen comedy, You Can't Take It With You" at the Capitol Theatre. Diffgicult as the feat seems to be, these unerring col labora CTS have exceeded even their former film masterpieces-"It Hap pened One Night" MT. Deeds Goes to Town" Lost Horizon" and the others. It is easily the greatest pie ture in the career of Hollywood's s top director writer team
 "You Can't Take It With You is a perturbation of the Pulitzer prize winning stage play by George s. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The stage plays delightful drolleries and far cial fun have been retained to a large degree while generous meas ure of comedy drama and a few clashes of sentiment have been add ed to give verisimilitude to the mo- tivation The result is a superbly in- gratiating picture, interwoven with  romance and genuine emotion.
 An all-star cast, in the purest sense of the phrase, turns in a gall lery of impeccable performances. Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, James Stewart, Edward Arnold. Mischa Auer and Spring Byington are especially 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. Kinds.
 The story concerns itself with the astonishing happenings in tn e household of Grandpa Vanderhof, who one morning, thirty years be- fore, went up in the office elevator, came down and never went back. Lionel Barrymore plays Grandpa with simple artistry that is sheer genius.
