It’s Lubitsch’s
*
Pet Project!
When Ernst Lubitsch signed a
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract
to produce and direct, it was part
of the agreement that he should
bring to the screen his favorite
of all stories, “The Shop Around
the Comer,” which opens today
at the Palace theatre.
At one time Lubitsch was going
to form his own producing com
pany to make the film, adapted
from a play by Nikolaus Laszlo,
famous Hungarian playwright;
He wanted 1 Margaret Sullavan
and James Stewart for his stars in
of everyday events in the lives
the simple and heart-warming tale
of everyday people, the owner and
clerks in a little Budapest leath
er goods and novelty shop.
While waiting for the services
of Miss Sullavan and Stewart,
who were filling other engage
ments, Lubitsch directed “Ninot
chka,” with Greta Garbo, one of
the year’s most amusing comew
dies.
