"Of course, sthey will be there

But they don't do things like

Eyes they do" Capra said. I'VE
understand each other. We worked
together, remember, on Arsenic and
Old Lace"
X n X
In spite of Lindsay's and Crouse's
devotion to their dramatic wares,
and their heretofore distrust Of Hol-
lywood's approach to the same, Cap
ra's contemplation of Estate of the
Union" is one of complete con-
fidence. The only condition laid
down is that the picture shall be re-
leased this year, in advance Of the
next presidential election to which it
relates with especial drama.
"I1l make it this summer" Capra
says. "It will be as nearly like the
stage play as possible. I liked the
play very much" He did not add
that he has to like another mans
work extremely, or he won't bother
with it at all. Most of the pictures
which have earned him his fame
have been of his own dreaming, and
largely his writing.
Is he afraid of the political con-
tent of "State of the Union?
If he was. he wouldn't be making
it. He sees nothing that should keep
the characters from coming right
out and mentioning Republicans"
and Democrats" by their right
names.
They're not bad words" Capra
says. "They are mentioned freely
everyday all over the land. I don't
see why characters on the screen
should not mention them just as
freely" 1. ~

Capra does not know, at least he

Willie Wyier won't be doing his

tied up with q specific assignment
Liberty Films, Capra's organization
is deluged with requests from the
biggest stars for jobs. And an even
larger number of writers have in
dicated they would like nothing bet
ter than to enjoy the Blessings OF
Liberty.
The fact that everyone has spent
year and one-half trying to guess
the identities of the characters in
"State of the Union" bothers Capra
no more than it did Lindsay and
Grouse when they wrote it.
ANY one Of them might be a
dozen different public figures, u
Capra says. There is plenty of
safety in that kind of numbers, If
it were needed. It is not needed. ]
myself don't know, and somehow I
don't care
Now that he has launched "It's A
Wonderful Life" his first film in
five years during which he spent
most of the time in the United
States Army, Capra is happy about
future prospects. :
I'm lucky, happy man." he says,
even though he is more aware than
any other Hollywood director of hu-
manity's imperfections and the dis
tance it still must travel.
"All my life, I have been able to
do what I want, to operate inde-
pendently. If I'm frustrated, I don't
have anyone else to blame"
Insofar as it is possible, he in
tends to keep his life moving pre-
cisely in that direction. In response
to questions as to Liberty's future,
he says calmly:
1--WE have no aspiration to get
big. There are three of us, William
Wyler, George Stevens and myself;
all directors. Surely We could build
up acting and writing groups. We
could even set up our own produc-
ton plant. But we have no inten-
ton of doing any of these. We
wanted just the kind of organization
we have. AS for players, we are de-
lighted to know that so MANY ap-
prove of us that they will work with
us. The same goes for writers.
"As for stage space, we have no
trouble getting it. We have a gen.
erous priority on RKOs facilities
and can see nothing ahead that
would interfere with complete free
dom of production when we are
ready to produce. We have no fixed
production schedule that would
ever rush us. Well just keep it that
way" ..-- -
Clearly, no one in Hollywood is in
a sounder position to proclaim
that it's q wonderful life.
