"YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU."
- With Frank Capra and Robert Riskin working on the story, casting, is .expected to start soon for Capra's new Columbia picture,- "You Can't Take it With You," • adapted from George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's tremendous Broadway stage hit, which is still attracting capacity crowds. The' play, .which won the Pulitaer. Prize for 1937, was purchased by Columbia for the record price of £40,000. After the sensational success of his latest picture "Lost Horizon," which dealt with a more or less serious theme, Capra desired to do comedy, and "You Can't Take-it With You" is considered a vehicle sure to surpass his two outstanding comedies', "It Happened. One Night" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." Riskin, who is dping the screen adaptation on "You Can't Take it With You," also was the writer of these two successes. He and Capra, as a direc-tor-writer combination, are considered "tops" in Hollywood.
