EDW. G. ROBINSON
In A BIG FEATURE
Appears At Maryland
Theatre ON Monday;
Picture Rates High

1.-THE Amazing Doctor Glitter
house." starring Edward G. Robin
son and adapted from the Barre
Lyndon stage play which scored
a great hit both in New York and
London, will be the next feature
starting at the Maryland Theatre
Monday.
The bizarre, exciting and high
ly amusing story centers absorb
ingly around DR.. Clitterhouse,
Robinson's greatest screen role.
He is a highly respected neuro-
logical surgeon whose interest in
the mental and physical reactions
of criminals at the moments when
they are engaged in their illegal
activities becomes an obsession-
seemingly a scientific obsession.
He decides that the best way to
settle the questions in his mind
is to use himself as his own
guinea pig, and he embarks on a
career of ruthless crime, for the
purpose - so he eventually ex-
plains of studying his own re-
actions and those of the criminals
with whom he is thrown into con-
tact.
Launched on his criminal ca
reer, DR.. Clitterhouse makes the
acquaintance of a fence played
by Claire Trevor, and soon, by
his superior shrewdness and cum
ming. establishes himself as the
leader OF the gang of robbers, for
merly headed by Humphrey Bo-
CART. The comic implications here
the highly cultured doctor frat
ernizing with the rowdy gangsters
are played to the hilt

out the play one can sense the
clash of personalities and charac-
ter with the mother as one of the

Egyptian Tiles Shown
In Decoration Show

Tiles used nearly 5000 years ago
to line the interior of Egyptian
tombs and building bricks of the
time of Nebuchadnezzar the Second,
about $500 years ago, are graphically
contrasted with their ultramodern
counterparts in an exhibit depicting

in the Cooper Union Museum for the
Arts of Decoration. New York City.
A wall nail," shaped like an over
grown collar button and used to
decorate the exterior of the mud
houses in Mesopotamia approx
mately $500 years ago, is shown. 1t
symbolizes clay as an instrument
of progress in science, art and social
philosophy, the threefold educational
interest of Cooper Union.
The four Egyptian tiles, glazed a
greenish-blue color, are about 2
inches by IA inches in size. They
were made by hand, but shaped in
molds, according to Carl C. Dauter-
man, in charge of the exhibit The
tiles, taken from the walls of a tomb
in Sakkara, illustrate the mastery of
alkaline glaze by the Egyptians as
early as 5000 B. c. They consist of
quartz finely ground by hand and
shaped in the manner of clay. The
tiles were alkaline glazed just before
firing or baking.
