U. 5. SCOTCH
 ORDERS SLOW
London Distrillers Not So Optimistic Now as
 Before

London (UP)-Scotch whiskey distillers are not so optimistic as they were. as to the probability of huge orders from the United States.
 Large numbers of inquiries have inundated the liquor firms here, but few orders have been placed, according to one promi- nent representative of the trade.
 The avalanche of communica- tiono from the United States chiefly has been from people who want to become American agents for Scotch whislxey, or from others who want to book orders on pay ment of a 20 per cent deposit, this authority states.
 Many of the inquiries came from bootleggers, 1t was indicated. although a number of Glasgow exporting firms have received per- mits which will enable them to export immediately about 100000 gallons of spirits for medicinal purposes only. Of this amount, 25.0O0 gallons must be brandy.
 Tn view of the American prefer ence for rye whiskey, liquor deal- CTS do not anticipate any tre- mendous inroads on British stocks of Scotch.

American novelist, has reached the
screen under the RKO-Radio ban
ner, and is appearing currently as
the featured film at the Apollo.
Lionel Barrymore is seen in the
starring role.
The film relates the story of
Daniel Parkway, who, arriving in
Chicago Immediately after the fire,
starts little retail business that
after years develops into the city's
greatest mercantile establishment.
Assisted by Ullman, who applies
business principles to Pardway's
hamboyant optimism, it is early
limited that Parkway is building
everything for his children.
Following the death of Pardway's
wife, Abigail, after four children
have been born, the establishment
wakes prosperous, endures depres-
sions and grows in prestige. But
the family in which Parkway placed
so much hope, goes astray.
The eldest son, Gene, falls for
drink and women. Phoebe, the
adored daughter, marries, divorces
and marries again, to no-account
money-hunting prince. Thane would
rather be q window trimmer than
a general manager. Freddie, after
seducing one of the pretty girl
clerks, tells his father he wants to
become a bum and, according to
preview reports, becomes very sue
cessful one.
Only Ullman clings to the old
ideals. When he approaches Pard-
way for a share in the business that
he actually created, he is rebuffed,
but he takes advantage of the
WITNESSES of the children and buys
their stock.
The finale pictures the entire
family rounded up, as the father,
broken in health and spirit, realizes
he is at his end. Freddie VOWS to
carry OH for the family.
Supporting Barrymore is Allan
Dinehart, Gloria Stuart, Eric Lin
den, William Gargan, Gregory Rat
off and Lucien Littlefield. John

Charles Dickens classic, "Oliver

as an all-talking picture, opened
yesterday at the Circle theater.
Monogram has given this story a
unique production. The story is cut

made at lavish display.
Every one knows how Oliver, the
homeless orphan, trudged to Lon
don, unknowingly sought shelter
with a desperate gang of thieves,
eventually to be rescued by a kindly
English gentleman who turns out to
be his own grandfather. Told in this
wise the story seems trite, but char
