Produoed and directed by Prank Capra from the screen play by Robert Riskln, "You Can't Take It With You" takes Its place among the many hit pictures this famous team has brought to the screen in the past. Now taking its place among the Capra-Riskin triumphs that include "It Happened One Night," "Lady for a Day," 'Lost Horizon" and "Mr. Deeds Goes To Town," this new picture Is said to exceed even the previous efforts of the two brilliant collaborators. The new film deals with the lov able and perfectly delightful Van derhof family, which believes In do ing whatever It wants whenever it wants to. In their old New York home, pre sided over by Grandpa Vanderhof, this uninhibited group reveals a heart-warming attitude toward life In a merry melange of comedy, flavored with romance, tinged with pathos. The picture is also concerned, in part, with the proud aristocratic Kirbys, as well as the carefree Van derhofs. Kirbys monumental plan to form a huge munitions merger, a move which requires the purchase of all property within an area of twelve city blocks, is halted when Grandpa refuses to sell the Van derhof home at any price. The plan of Kirby's son to marry Alice Syca more, his secretary and granddaugh ter of old man Vanderhof, is block ed when the boy brings his parents to dinner one night, only to dis cover the Vanderhofs engrossed in Its various eccentric affairs. Lionel Barrymore plays the part of Grandpa, with Jean Arthur as Alice, James Stewart as Tony Kirby and Edward Arnold as his father. Also In the cast are Spring Bying ton, Samuel S. Hinds, Dub Taylor. Donald Meek, H. B. Warner. Halll well Hobbes, Eddie Anderson and Lillian Yarbo. JEWISH REFUGEES E METZ. Prance. Nov. 12 (AP) Hundreds of Jews fleeing from Ger many were turned back at the French frontier tonight by border guns act ing on strict orders from Paris. A new flood of German Jews seek ing safety In France had attempted to cross the border after announce ment In Berlin of new anti-Semitic measures. But they were met by reinforced French frontier guards who granted permission to enter France only to those who had papers in order for Switzerland, Belgium, or the Duchy of Luxembourg, or who had French visas granted In Germany. Authorities said many refugees must have succeeded in getting into France by crossing the frontier along unguarded stretches, although police In border villages kept a strict watch for them. Many of thfe Jews said they had been encouraged by Nazis to "escape" Into France, and more than a few crossed the frontier with the ap parent permission of German frontier guards. Many crossed unguarded fields from the Palatinate and Sara dis tricts of Germany only to be arrest ed at the first French village they reached, and then sent back to Ger-mayn. m ' 'j.w!i"ypi"li"i"' up'iv 1 1 w i 1 1 1 1 1 1 l i ini f: linn t I I 11 i. ,'!. -- . t jP VsL I : vJfa ( Wis-. nff& f i v 4T J x" my. ."

LONDON, Nov. 12. (AP) Public indignation over Germany's new on slaught against Jews has quickened Britain's drive for rearmament and pushed Prime Minister Chamberlain's appeasement goal still further away. Amid widespread condemnation of the Nazi campaign came evidence from one of the premier's own min isters that It had shaken the faith of at least part of his cabinet in his efforts to obtain a lasting friend ship with Relchs-Chancellor Hitler. Addressing a regional meeting of the national labor council today. Earl De La Warr, In the cabinet as president of the board of education, said that Instead of encouraelnK hopes for appeasement, "events on the continent during the last few days have served to add certainty to the conviction that we live In a world In which those who desire to defend the decencies of life must be strong ooth in arms and In moral purpose. De La Warr asserted Britain facrd the possibility of a fight "for her very existence," and that "that strug gle may be resolved in terms of diplomacy or in terms of war." "We hope It will be the former," he said, "but the challenge goes even deeper than the power of politics. It forces onto the defensive the whole of the ideas on which civilization has built itself up over centuries since the days of the foundation of Chris tlanlty." "Appeasement and strength." he said, "are the twin foundations of the national government's policy." Then he added significantly: "If we emphasize the second at the moment It Is only because with out strength the policy of appease ment becomes merely a more pleasing name for what must be In fact a policy of surrender." High churchmen, from the arch bishop of Canterbury down, deplored the treatment of Jews and its effect on Britain's offer of friendship to Germany. From one end of the country to the other came attacks on Germany. Mrs. Walter Elliott, wife of the British minister of health, herself active In politics until her marriage In lfr34, said at London reception: "It is . Impossible to read of hap penings of the last three or four days in central Europe without feeling we must be back again In the middle ages. "It is appalling, frightening, ter rifying that, the whole, spiritual thought of the world should oe subjected to this doctrine of force."
