Take It With You has continu- ously been entertaining audiences with its broad humor and gentle social criticisms.

Today the play is as popular as ever. The characters, conceived by the brilliant team of Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, are as alive and fresh as they were at their mo- ment of conception.
