Warners Get Stage Trio

Win "Tug - of - War' Cast for Film.

ROLLYWOOD, Dec. 17 (U. P)— A spirited tug-of-war between Warnér Bros. and Broadway has just eéhded In favor of W-B.

Over

The ragument involved three| |

players appearing in “Arstnie and] \ fA

Old Lace” on Broadway. Frank Capra, directing the screen ‘production of the play, wanted Josephine Hull, Jean Adair and John Alexander to play the same roles

here. New York producers said no, The three were needed in New York and Hollywood could find players of its own. Capra considered several persons “wrethen gave up and opened neotiations with the East again. Finally it was agreed that Warner Bros. could have them for a ghort time on the promise to return them in as good condition as received. All three arrived by plane and went to work the second day here. Each plays the part of an insane person. The two women are cast as off-center old sisters given to putting arsenic in other people's elderberry wine. Alexander's character also is on the wacko side. He thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, Whenever the sisters do away with another victim, they ask him to go into the cellar and dig another lock for the Panama Canal. All of which seems perfectly normal behavior to virtually all in the film except Cary Grant and Priscilla rane, ® Ho promises to send back the New York players no saner than before,
