Roland Young and Billie Burka are again cast as Cosmo Topper and his wife, roles they made famous In the first two hits, with Top per again manifesting his some times embarrassing fascination for ghosts, and the lovely, shape ly spirit which haunts him this time is Joan Blondell. Almost all the action occurs In an old, eerie mansion fitted with sliding panels, chairs that do nip-ups, depositing the occu pant Into dungeons, trap doors, secret passages between the walls and what not.

The greatest star the motion picture world has ever known, Will Rogers' last picture returns to the popular Main street theatre after countless requests for its return showing. Irvin S.

Ever since Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr romanced and , separated in "Boom Town," the public has been clamoring for the two to be co-starred once again. The demand is answered and in a hilarious manner with the appearance of the two stars in "Comrade X," the fast action story of an American correspondent in Russia who falls in lova with one of the female comrades who drives a street car. The comedy opens a three-day run today at tne Roxy theatre with Felix Bres sart and Oscar Homolka in sup porting roles. One of the high lights of the film is said to be Gable's escape from the country in the commanding position of a barrage of motored tanks, which he leads over hill and dale and even under a river in his flee to bordering Rumania. "Calling All Husbands," a delightful comedy of married life starring Ernest Truex, plays as the companion feature with "Comrade X." by making her believe she Is participating in a sorority initi ation.
