Armstrong in
 "The Scandal

"The Billion Dollar Scandal melodrama of a nationwide big money swindle, opens at the New Garden theater Sunday for two days. Robert Armstrong heads the cast in the role of Fingers Partos, the humble masseur and convict, who becomes the man of the hour when he dares to talk, exposing a group of millionaire financers as the perpetrators of a gigantic swindle. Constance Cummings ap- pears in the feminine lead, as Doris Masterson, daughter of the leader of the swindlers, role played by Frank Morgan. Others of proml- hence are olga BaclahoVa as F1n- gers girl; James Gleason and War ren Hymer as Ratsy and the Kid, his two pals; Frank Albertson as his younger brother; Irving Pichel as the editor of the newspaper which conducts the expose, and Hale Hamilton, Dorothy Peterson, Ralf Harolds, Barton Churchill and Sidney Toler in supporting roles, Harry Joe Brown directed.
 Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, you will certainly be intrigued and thrilled to your very marrow by Universals fantastic "The Mummy" which is the com Danion attraction. It is the most weirdly fascinating film with the most unusual and bizarre theme this reviewer has ever seen. "The Mummy" reaches back into the mists of antiquity and uncovers a love which existed 3700 years ago in the days of the Egyptian Phar- aohs, but it's main story is modern in background and theme. Karloff makes his starring debut in this picture. His mummy is so real, so death- like, that it is almost unbe- lieveable. The great makeup artist proves conclusively that he is su- preme in his field of characteriZa- ton. Zita Johann is 8 new exotic actress who will be well remem- bered by those who saw her on Broadway. David Manners, Arthur Byron, Edward Van Sloan and Bramwell Fletcher also carry off dramatic roles with finesse. "The Mummy possesses some of the most arrestingly beautiful sets seen in long time, designed by Willy Pogany. The work of Karl Freund who moved up to 8 directors chair for "The Mummy" is splen- did. See it--you'll enjoy every min- ute of "The Mummy" Some ex- ceptionally fine short subjects have been booked in support of these two splendid features. Special add ed attractions are Auction Circus on Thursday night and Country Store on Saturday night and ladies may secure the concluding articles of the Pyroloid dresser ware by at- tending the Tuesday performances.

''The Mummy
 Carroll Booking
"I'm a lucky chap"

The great makeup actor, Kar- loff, explains his sensational rise to world fame with that simple phrase. No other actor in Holly wood is as modest and retiring. or far from going Hollywood" as Karloff, no other actor is more in tensely interested in the charac- ters he creates to the exclusion of other diversions as Universais unique star who comes to the Car roll theater Sunday in the greatest part of his career, the title role in '"The Mummy"
 For years Karloff struggled for the opportunity to express his art on the screen. Hardships of every description and seemingly unsur- mountab1e obstacles made him ap- preciate his chance when it came in "Frankenstein." Instead of let ting down and resting on his laur- els. the actor has literally lived his career ever since, voraciously studying all angles of his type of characterizatioss and becoming an authority on many bizarre subjects which aid him on the screen.

The shadow of one of the worlds most tragic poets hangs over the title of "Cynara" the picture that Samuel Goldwyn has made from the New York stage success, with Ronald Colman in the starring role.

Barrymore in
 "TOpaze," Palace
Interesting Characterize ton Is Given By
 Famed Star

There are comedians who long to play Hamlet--in fact, it's almost distinguishing mark of come dian to have a desire to interpret Shakesperian roles--but John Bar rymore is q tragedian who is just As readily comedian. His next starring motion picture presents him happily cast as a tremendous ly human whimsical hero.
 Those theatergoers who have followed John Barrymore's career will remember that he was first known for his comedy roles. and though he had startled audiences with the power of his performance in the tragic stage play, Justice" 1t was in such farce comedies as Are You q Mason" that he first appeared on the screen.
 The youngest of the famous part in "Topaze," RKO-Radio Pic ture coming Sunday to the Palace theater, is his happiest role.
 'I have always enjoyed comedy and prefer 1t to any other sort of work" says the star. Further. as anyone who has ever watched my parts should know, love char acterizations.
 "Topaze" combines both a character and a comedy role, and I was thoroughly in my element playing the simple, honest school teacher who eventually becomes a sophisticated egotist and a better trickster than those who tricked him in the first place."
 "Topaze" was originally success full in Paris. Benn W. Levy trans lated the original by Marcel Pag- mol and it was a seasons hit in New York with Frank Morgan playing the title role. Now it has been groomed for the talking screen, and directed by Harry d'Arrast, that master of light com edy who made Laughter" re- membered treat.
 The title comes from the name of the leading character-Auguste Topaze. He is first seen as a too meek schoolmaster in French school for boys, teaching that honesty is the best policy. But his scrupulous code loses him his job, and he blunders into a better one with baron who needs an honest idiot in his racket of selling plain faucet water as beneficial mineral water made from formula.
 What happens to the ego of Topaze when he finds all his adages about truth given the lie makes the story of 'Topaze" not only de- licious modern comedy, but a field for interesting characterization.
 Paris Is the background and RKO-Radio has given special at- tention to the settings. The cast is headed by Myrna Loy as the pretty coquette whose relations with the baron, played by Reginald Mason, at first shock Topaze and then inspire him to steal her for himself.

CHICAGO, June 24-In proportion
to retail financing on new automobiles
the total of finance company notes
signed by car dealers throughout the
Nation has shown an unprecedented in
crease this year.
The volume of this wholesale financ-
ing business, as reported to the Ma
tional Association Of Finance Com
panies, has averaged $50 per cent of
retail financing on new cars for the
first four months of 1888
For the same period in 1882, the
amount of wholesale financing repre-
sented only 128 per cent of similar re-
tail business For the entire year of
1882 the percentage was only 109.
Leaders in the auto financing indus
try say this trend is due principally
to two reasons: Because banks are not
financing car dealers to the extent that
they once did, and because dealers have
exhausted their own resources to such
an extent that they are forced to bor-
row more money to buy new stocks.
