"Wife, Doctor, and Nurse." The talents of three stars, Loretta Young, Warner Baxter, and Virginia Bruce, are brilliantly blended in "Wife, Doctor, and Nurse," gay and penetrating drama, which opens tomorrow at the State Theatre, The three-cornered drama of "Wife, Doctor, and Nurse" ; begins when Warner Baxter, a prominent doctor who has time for little outside his work, is attracted by the ! loveliness of one of his patients, Lorjetta Young, a charming society girl, with whom he falls in love. Following the handsome doctor's marriage, his beautiful nurse, Virginia Bruce, discovers that a, strong attachment has grown between them In the years of their association and which, on her part, has ripened into love. Realising that under such circumstances she cannot continue in her present capacity, she leaves the doctor's employ. Baxter is restless and irritated because of her absence. Loretta, noticing the change in her husband, arranges a meeting with Virginia where they have a heart-to-heart talk over the teacups about the man with whom both are in love. At first Virginia resolves never to see Baxter again, but when left alone she considers the situation in a different light and returns. Matters now become complicated for all concerned— Loretta, who.wonders how much of her husband's time a wife has the right to demand—Baxter, who cannot understand why these clever modern women are not sensible about their emotions—and Virginia, whose conscience is troubled with the vital question, "Where can a woman draw the line between loyalty to a man and love? Baxter maintains that Virginia is essential to his work but that he loves only his wife. Loretta however, believes.that although her husband may say he loves.her, he is not honest with himself. With that thought m mind, she plans to go to Reno The sparkling solution is found in a meeting of the three which results in a dramatic, yet humorous and entertainfnf n co '"P ron "se which paves the way tor a happy climax.
