Edward q. Robinson, in his great
est picture to date, 1.-THE Amazing
DR.. Clitterhouse," crime Aim with
many undertones Of comedy, opened
a scheduled four day engagement
yesterday at Warner Bros. State
theater, Waterbury's only air condi-
toned picture houxe.
In the dual personality of FASH
ionable Park Avenue doctor and the
leader Of gang of thieves, he en-
tertained capacity audiences far be-
You'd their expectatio lions. Claire Ire
vor and Humphrey Bogart, also fea-
tured throughout the film as 10
Keller, queen of the underworld and
Rocks" Valentine, gang leader
whom Robinson overthrows, also
turn in excellent acting jobs.
A successful New York and Lon
don stage play of the same name
forms the basis for the film which
concerns the tale Of distinguished
neurological surgeon who embarks
upon a career Of crome nj order, as
he says, to study the mental and
physical reactions Of criminals dur
ing those moments when they are
perpetrating their crimes.
He becomes as successful GRIM
inal In the course Of his allegedly
scientific dual existence as he is a
surgeon. In fact, his facile brain
soon enables him to become the
laeder Of a bigtime band of robbers
previously dominated by Humphrey
Bogart and for whom Claire Trevor
is the stylishly CARRIED fence.
Leading his band In one big rob-
berry after another, the doctor seems
TO manifest a strange zest for his
illegal enterprise until he is sud-
denly brought up short by arrest for
the murder Of Bogart, who had
threatened blackmail.
Placed on trial for his life, the
doctor escapes the penalty for the
murder he has undoubtedly COM
mitted by a shrewd manipulation Of
the psychology Of the jurors. 1t Is
one Of the strangest denouements
ever related In any Aim, but con-
vincing nevertheless and highly
amusing.
One of the highlights of the f1lm
is the battle royal between Robin
son and Hobart for the leadership
Of the gang. You'll thrill to this
amazing story Of his double life, so
why not plan to see the thrilling
masterpiece, THE Amazing DR.. Gilt
terhouse" at the State. You'll agree
It's the most amazing picture you've
ever seen.
Sharing honors In the supporting
cast are Gale Page, Make Rosen-
bloom, Ward Bond, Henry O'Neill,
John Litel and Thurston Hall.
And for your further enjoyment
the management presents as the
second smash hit "Penrod's Double
Trouble" starring the Mauch twins.
Billy and Bobby.
The twin stars are supported by
two boy actors, Jackie Morrow and
Phillip Hurlic, who were also seen
in the previous Penrod films. Enact
ing the chief adult roles are several
newcomers TO the Penrod series.
notably, Gene and Kathleen Lock-
hart as Periods parents. Dick Pur-
cell and Hugh O'Connell are cast In
the villain roles.

Brody was permitted to hold the
second trick with the spade jack,
and when he counted, he saw that
he had three sure heart tricks, three
and perhaps four diamond tricks,
II the suit broke, and anywhere from
one TO five clubs, depending upon
the location OF the king. Deciding
to play as safely as he could, he
cashed the top diamonds, and when
the suit broke evenly, played the
fourth diamond from his hand.
Then he took three rounds Of hearts,
and wound up by refusing the club
finesse and making his contract.

 Death Loss Would Drop
 So the losses which almost in- variably result from air raids must be justified by some decisive effect on the outcome of the strug- gle. The main purpose of aircraft is to disable opposing planes and to cripple the enemy military ma chine by destroying munition plants, airplane factories, steel mills supply depots, railroad centers and transportation arteries.
 Such operations may involve large numbers of civilians but are not primarily directed against non-com- batants Military men say it is con- ceiyable that some ardent patriots might demand air raids on purely civilian populations for terroristic effects.
 But you can expect, wherever i opposing air forces are anywhere near balance, immediate reprisals fer the bombing of cities. Govern ment leaders know that terroristic tactics can be reciprocal
 l Military men say that while the death toll and property destruc- ton might be appalling in some 1 industrial centers, the loss of life would be a constantly decreasing ratio as people learned how to pro- tect themselves by taking to bomb- proof shelters during raids. Won't Win War 1 Although the biggest develop ment in weapons since the World War has been the increase in fight ing power and in numbers of air. craft, air officials admit that planes alone will not win great war. They are still supplementary to the infantry and artillery. Todays. bombing planes can fly three times as fast as the 1918 l plane, seven times as far, three imes as high and with 10 times the load of explosives Bombers now have an average top speed better than 250 miles an hour and can carry 6.000 pounds of explo- sives. In addition to greatly im- proved machine guns, airplanes have a. new weapon in the 37 milli- meter gun-a small cannon. Outstanding improvements have been made in anti-aircraft artil- lery, too. Efficient modern bat teries are rated from 75 to 100 per- cent effective in protecting vital areas. This high rating is due chief ly to the fact that adequate anti aircraft artillery makes aerial att tacks so costly.
 Anti-aircraft fire is very effec- tive up to 16,000 to- g18,0OO feet, and some guns have a firing range of 30000 feet. Probably it's greatest defense value-you can't prevent
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-10-15

 WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. = Wars most terrifying weapon-the air plane-has become an instrument for peace.
 Many military men are convinced come what may, that the spectre O. thousands of bombing planes deal ng death and destruction from the ,kies is potent peace influence with the political leaders of the sreat powers.
 For the leaders of all these pow ITS, military observers assert, are ully aware that unrestricted aerial warfare might soon make sham lies of Europe's large cities
 probably without deciding the out ome of the struggle.
 Viewing the terribly destructive power of Europe's huge air fleets
 hey say it is no wonder that recol-
 ection of body -mangling, building
 'bliterating bombs in Barcelona and
 Canton sends shivers town the
 pines of Europe's citizens.
 Raids Stiffen Resistance
 Some military theorists, like the late General Douhet of the royal italian air force, have predicted that sudden onslaughts by mighty ,ir forces on centers of population md industry would quickly deliver
 he knockout punch to an enemy nation. They contend that well-exe- euted and incessant bombing raids 3n large cities would conquer a country by shattering the morale of it's people.
 But most military experts, con- ceding that aerial attack may throw the civilian inhabitants of l city into temporary panic and destroy valuable property, are very
 keptical of the military effective ness of aerial war on non-combat ants. They say the killing of a few thousand women and children does not win wars-that the resentment tends to stiffen the resistance o1 survivors.
 They point out that the bomb ing of civilian areas in Spain ano China has been indecisive from a military standpoint, and that there is every reason to believe the Ger man, Czech, French, English and other European people could take it'' as well as the Spanish or Chi nese.
 The experts say it is doubtful, however, that 'any strictly mili- tary command" would order indis- criminate bombing of non-com- batants. One practical reason IS that planes are very expensive in- struments of warfare-big bomb- CTS like the U. s. flying fortresses cost a quarter of a million dollars
