Mum to Be Starred.

THOSE who have watched the swag-
l. gering. boastful Tony Camonte in
the picture "Scarface," at Loew'S Pal
ace Theater, will not be surprised to
learn that Paul NUM-, who plays the
murderouS gangster Of Chicago's South
Side is soon to be starred in pictures.
"Scarface" is Muni's third picture, but
even through this brief career on the
screen he has so firmly established
himself as a character actor that audi
ences have been quick to recognize in
him a player of real genius. Muni's
two other pictures, THE Valiant" and
Seven Faces" brought him proni-
nently before the movie public. But
he elected to forsake the screen and
appear on the New York stage, where
nc now has become established as
Broadway favorite, notably because of
his sterling performance as the attor-
ney in the Elmer Rice play Counselor
at Law"
Paul Mini graduated from the Yid-
dish Theater to the screen and the
English stage. Known as Mum Reisen-
freund, he attracted the attention OF
several motion picture officials. who saw
in the actor an ability that would mean
much to the art of the screen. Now,
after his success in "Scarface," he has
returned to Hollywood and soon will
blossom forth as full-fledged star.
Mr.. NUM- is married and at present
has taken up permanent residence in
Hollywood He is an accomplished vio-
linist and pianist. paints a little and
goes in considerably for athletics. His
appearance off the screen is as differ
