AMAZING CRIME FILM COMING TO COLISEUM;
 THREE STARS FEATURED

Edward c. Robinson comes to the screen of the Coliseum Sunday Ill what he has described as the most fascinating role of his career--ths truly extraordinary title character of The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, bizarre crime film with hilarious undertones of comedy based by War ner Bros. on the London and New York stage hit of the same name.
 It is the tale of distinguished neurological surgeon who embarks upon career of crime in order so 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 a crim- nal 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 leader of a bigtime band of robbers previously dominated by Humphrey Bogart and for whom Claire Trevor is the stylishly garbed fence
 Leading his band in one big robbery after Another the doctor seems to manifest a strange zest for his illegal enterprises until he is suddenly brought up short by arrest for the murder of Bogart, who had threatened blackmail.

 IN CApII0L HIT
That Certain Age" Is A. traeiion Starting Sunday
 at Local Theatre

The advent of any Deanna Dur bin picture is milestone in the history of the screen. From tn e surprising Three Smart Girls. y through the beautiful and stirring 100 Men and a Girl and the touching Mad About Music right to the current. That Certain Age" " opening Sunday at the Capito Theatre. her pictures have been a delight and a revelation.
 That Certain Age is as differ ent from the previous trio as each of them were from each other. As Deanna grows older, her stories are carefully tailored to her age. This picture is lighter in theme than the others, but no less power full in entertainment content.
 Starring Deanna, with Melvyn Douglas, Irene Rich. Jackie Coop CT, John Halliday, Juanita Quigley.
 Jackie Searl Peggy Stewart, Nancy Carroll and Charles Coleman, That Certain Agen tells the story of a young girl. nearing sixteen, who
 meets war correspondent and fancies herself violently in love with him. Temporarily infatuated with him, she forgets her younger boy friend and her childish playmates until it is brought home to her that she is still child, and that roman tic love has no place in her life.
 Packed with clever comedy, bril- liant dialogue, the sparkle of youth and the indescribable beauty of Deanna's voice, That Certain Age can be hailed as the finest of the four pictures this great little star has made for Universal.

and would reclaim about 16 acres of land. Whether or not the City can obtain title to this is problematical City Attorney Grover Winn said.
 The entire dredging job must be done either by suction dredge, which would throw the material from the boat harbor up behind walls on nearby land, or by bucket dredge which would take it by barge out in Gastineau Channel to deep water about opposite Thane and dump it. In order to have the land filled back of the present wall, therefore, the City must build an other wall to take care of the rest of the material.
 Mayor Harry Lucas and the Coun- cil are going to think it over for awhile. One suggestion was that part of the $48, 8,400 which the City has available from bond issue for boat harbor floats be used to build the new wall.
 Wharfage Increased
 The City Council last night passed a resolution increasing the wharfage charge on freight handled across the City dock between Northland Trans portation Company ships and those of the Davis Transportation Con- pany from $50 per ton to SITS per ton. The local wharfage charge was increased recently from 1.75 to $2.25 Freight for transhipment is han dled at lower cost, it was explained. as it does not require the services of checkers. A proportionate in crease in the wharfage charge for lumber, lath and shingles for the 'Estebeth was also voted. Council men John Mccormick and Henry Messerschmidt voted against allow ing the Northland-Davis freight any better rate than that for local de- livery.
 Agent Henry Green of the North land Transportation Company said that if the wharfage charge was increased by 50 cents a ton, the two companies could no longer absorb the charge as they do on present shipments via the Estebeth to small ports on it's run, but would have tc increase the freight rates. This would result, he said, in much o1 the freight for Hoonah and such ports being shipped direct from Se- Eattle by small trading boats such as the Silver Wave, which never ktouch at Juneau and contribute ncthing toward prosperity here. Storage Charge Protested { Former Councilman G. Emi Krause protested the City's new echarge of g cents per ton for stor- Eage at the City Wharf, saying Inc had approximately 50 tons of cement Fthere all the time and the charge Fwould be prohibitive.

| Army Perfects
|Low-Cost Mask
For Civilians
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The chief of the Army's Chemical
Warfare Service estimates that gas
masks for civilians can be provided
in emergency at a cost Of "less than
81 25" each.
Mai. Gen. Walter C. Baker told a
House Committee during hearings on
Army appropriations, made public
today, that there had been "consid-
cradle planning" but no ALLEGATIONS
of orders for civilian masks.
He said he had directed techni-
clans at Edgewood Arsenal in Mary
land to work on a low-cost mask, "
and that it had been perfected.
Asked if the masks would be made
by private industry, he replied:
"They could be turned over to
civilian industry. The facilities of
the Government plants we con-
templated in our plans would be re-
quired to keep the military forces
supplied with masks. ."
