LOST HORIZON
It must be amusing to be able to deliver the goods when called upon to do "the impossible," Robert Riskin, Hollywood scenarist, has apparently turned out a script few persons thought could be written..
When Columbia Pictures par- chased "Lost Horizon," James "Hilton's best selling novel, And Frank Capra was assigned direct, the natural choice to the adaptation was Riskin.

But even so, there were a good many raised eyebrow's in Holly- wood circles when it was learned that Riskin was faced with the task of adapting "Lost Horizon" to the screen. It was, sald popu lar opinion, one of those things that just couldn't be done.
Just how well Riskin made out with "Last Horison" can be seen to-day at the King's Theatre, where the film is being shown.
