'Can't "Take It With You' at Central A tale of nonsense, romance, drama and sentimentality, Frank Capra's "You Can't Take It With You," opened at the Central for a four-day engagement.

"You Can't Take It With You" Is the story of two families who philo sophies of life are poles apart One family, presided over by happy-go-lucky Grandpa Vanderhof, lives merrily and somewhat madly in a suffl- cient-unto the day atmosphere of untroubled fun. The other family, the social-conscious, money grubbing, power-mad are the purest of wealth worshippers. Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Edward Arnold, Ann Miller, Mischa Auer, Spring Bying- ton, Haiiiweu Hobbes, Dub Taylor, H. B. Warner, Mary Forbes and Samuel S.

Hinds are in the cast. The second feature on the Central program is Richard Cromwell in "Come On, Leathernecks." with Marsha Hunt, Leon Ames, and Ed ward Brophy. Helen Hayes Hit In New Play Reports from Santa Barbara to day indicate that Helen Hayes has another hit to her credit. Last night, the first performance of "Ladles and Gentlemen," in its tryout engagement at the Santa Barbara Lobero, presented the stage's popular "first lady" as the costar with Herbert Marshall, of this new play written by the MacArthur Hecht team and presented by Gil bert Miller. Without revealing too much of the plot to readers awaiting the opening of the show's two-week engagement here at the Curran beginning Monday night, it may be said that the pity is all about the juryroom happenings during a murder trial of California locale, and offers Miss Hayes one of the most exciting roles of her long and phenomenally successful career.

Together, "On Borrowed Time" end "Nauehtv But Nice" manaee to provide a program that has length and a certain amount oi aepm. Rnrrvmnr film, taken from the stage play, toys with the idea that death not only is an experience tnat man must meet In his stride, but one that can have its pleasant side. HUMOROUS FANTASY Two aged people are left as guardians of a small boy.

Then the grandmother dies, and the chore of raising the lad falls to a blustering old grandfather, himself on the brinkof -the grave. How he man ages to roresiau aeam ior a time makes a fantasy that is humorous and human. In translating the Paul Osborn story to the screen Hollywood wai up against an almost impossible situation, however. All of the salt and flavor had to be removed from the stage dialogue of Gramps, and all touches of morbidity bad to be glossed over with sweetness and light. As a consequence a play that was fine drama became only medi ocre melodrama.

LEADS ARE TOPS' Barrymore is in one of his best moods as. the grandparent, and young Bob Watson is an engaging child, while Sir Cedrlc Hardwicke makes the role of Mr. Brink dominant without perceptible effort The minor roles are adroitly cast, but neither Harold Bucquet'i direction or the adaptation by three film writers is especially distinguished. The Powell vehicle is a pleasant trifle in which he is a musie pro fessor in a small college town who goes to New York to sell a rhapsody and becomes involved with the boys and girls of Tin Pan Alley. Thin and ridiculous on the whole, it provides passing fun for the chief player, Gale Helen Broderick, Maxie Rosenbloom and several others.

In the musie department are songs such as "Moment of Weakness," "Don't Believe in Signs," "Happy About the Whole Thing" and "Hooray for Spinach. WOOD SOANES.

Mikado," which opened at the Roxle yesterdav. bv taklnc mm ihrti with the D'Oyly Carte production and viewing his chore-more in terms of cinema than of photographed stage scenes Is beside the point. Such artistic license may come with other Gilbert and Sullivan operas that lend, themselves more to spectacle and movement than the static story of Titipu. At the moment the object seemed to be to bring the first opera to the screen without sending the Savoyards into spasms.

It is a lovely screen production in with theD'Oyly Carte troupe in full 'forced augmented by America's tuneful Kenny Baker and paced by the London Symphony Or-chestra. which well nninaH tn handle the score of Sir Arthur Sul livan. APPEALS TO OLDSTERS At the opening the chief appeal of "The Mikado" leemed tn Via tnwnrri the oldsters who take their Gilbert ana bulllvan as a sort of religion and the youngsters who found in the antic comedy of Ko Ko and Pooh Bah something quite as amusing as Donald Suck. "The Mikado," for the benefit of those Who hava etrnnp ainam ductions, either swing or stately, is mo siory or imminent disaster in Tltlnu. where somehodv ilmnlv ha to be executed if the tailor who has become Lord High Executioner is to hold his Job and marry his attractive niece, Yum Yum.

Unfortunately thu LH.TC. nolppt. a wandering minstrel, unaware that he is the son and heir to the throne of Japan, disguised because he has conscientious objections to a June and December romance with a lady of the court, and has hitchhiked to Titipu and the arms of Yum Yum. There are a good many complications to "The Mikadn hut hn. conventional happy Hollywood ending; and between start and finish there are comedy, music, drama, romance, a fashion show and, in this English production, a wealth of scenic splendor filmed in natural tints.

BAKER'S VOICE GOOD Young Baker brings sufficient voice to Nankl Poo, the minstrel, but his acting is, to put it very charitably, decidedly limited. Histrionic honors are quickly captured by Martyn Green as the befuddled Ko-Ko; Sydney Granville as the unctu-ous politician, Pooh Bahi and John Barclay as the Mikado with the lethal sense of humor. Jean Colin headed 1hm fpmtnln side, a nrettv if snmewhat hrin Yum Yum, with Constance Willis providing tne horrendous Katlsha. Geoffrey Tnv did eervthln frnm adapt and conduct to producing the mm, ana ne saw to it Mat there were no additions and few elisions. Why he eliminated the I'I've got a little list" number is difficult to understand, however.

Anderson conferred with representatives of the Screen Actors' Guild, the Motion Picture Demo-era tic Committee and other Holly, wood groups. "The Belief Administration," said Anderson, "expects to get 75 per cent of the destitute who were on the WPA project now being closed. We may, therefore, work out some kind of a cooperative arrangement with theatrical interests which would be willing to put up some of the money to continue the project."

Dekker's head was smooth and as a billing ball. -A Dekker patiently explained, "Don't you know) you had me shave my head for a bald-headed role in another picture called 'Dr. Cyclops'." The officials decided Dekker can't grow new head of hair by, July 17, so are In the market for another ctor with a good mop of hair.

"The noon hour for starting was decided upon to allow French stage players, many of whom worlc Jn pictures, tne opportunity to deep In the morning while engaged. In tudl work," he ex plains. "Parisian stage plays start at 9 p.m., so It Is midnight before they can get away from the theater." But, of course, it isn't all milk and honey French productions suffer from the lack of skilled technicians, according to Boyer; few studios produce enough films to warrant steady and continuous work; it is Impossible to develop the efficient "teamwork', that characterizes American studios; and, finally, but most important, the wages are not so high.

Finished with "The Modern Cinderella," with Irene will be back in Hollywood October." TWENTY SEASONS AGO TODAY JlmffiyvBritt, former lightweight chatpplon, is at the Pantagej in "The Kid's Last Fight." While we are on the subject of how dreadfully hard the cutles of the films have to work in order to assure themselves a plentiful supply of coffee and cakes, the case of Sonja Henle demands an airing, In "Second Fiddle," Miss Henle does a little skating with 62 skater. In order to record the rhumba number, they were forced to skate for six solid days, starting at 9 in, the morning and finishing around 7 at night "The major burden," Harry Brand of 20th-Fox explains, "naturally falls on the blond star. She must execute all the difficult steps. At one point she is required to spin In one spot at a speed the eye can hardly follow for exactly 48 seconds. In coming out of the spin she is slightly dizzy, but she must immediately skate backwards at full speed through a narrow lane left lor her by the 62 members of the ensemble, traveling forward at speed in the opposite direction." So Miss Henlt had to go in training fi tViraa weeks in advance, working four hours dally to the mu-sio victrolar During that time she ate but little: a slice of bacon, toast and tea for breakfast; a Vegetable salad for lunch; a steak and vegetables for dinner.

In three weeks she dropped 11 pounds, and slept nine hours a day. It sounds horrible, and poor Miss Henie getting a mere pittance and all! FORTY SEASONS AGO TODAY "Brother for Brother" is the attraction at the Dewey, with George D. W. Griffith, back In Hollywood as an associate to Hal Roach, paused the other day to pass on some observations on the talkies. "I am struck by the tremendous technical strides that have been made in the industry in the past several years.

I believe there is a great field for the tiseof color In the production of. outdoor epics, but I also feel that so far black and white best do Justice to the delineation of drama. "The talkies have gone a long way since presented the first talking picture ever shown. It was called 'Dream and I had It pre-, sented at the Town Hall In New York because exhibitors were skeptical of the new-fangled idea. That was in 1922.

"Even 'Abraham Lincoln, which I produced and directed in 1D30, was technically elementary in the light of talking pictures of today, I a glad to see thCt the old adventure'and excitement of getting a good scene has not changed. The technical improvements and the histrionic perfection of an actress like Bette Davis are the achievements of which Hollywood can best boast. Miss Davis' picture, 'Dark in my opinion, is one of the best I have ever "Such pictures show great promise for all In Hollywood." Exits and Entrances Basil Rathbone, who appeared last on the Radio lot in "The Last Days of Pompeii," returns there to work with Charles Laughton In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Anne Shirley and Lucille Ball have had their options picked up by Kadio. Miss Shirley, finished with "Career" with Edward Ellis, goes next to "Vigil la the Night" with Carole Lombard.
