Romance of Hospital Life Comes to Screen
BEBE DANIELS IS TO BE SEEN IN "REGISTERED NURSE’ ’
(Kosy: Screening Wednesday Next.) “Registered Nurse," First National’s glowing romance of hospital life, is billed as a feature attraction. Based on the thrilling urama oy Florence junns aim Wilton Lackaye, Jr., it deals with the love lives of hospital staff, doctors and nurses, rather than with the more sombre technical side of such an institution.
There is a technical cast of players headed by Bobo Daniels, who portrays a uurso who resumes her profession after her marriage proves a failure. It is over the love of this pretty nurse that tho two leading surgeons of the
hospital engage in spirited rivalry. The roles of tho two physicians are taken by Lyle Talbot and John Haliday. As far as the story is concerned, only two patients play any important part in the picture: a wrestling promoter and his lift o’ love, both of whom have been battered up in a hammer and tongs battle. Enacted by Sidney Toler and Irene Franklin, they give a com#dy twist'to some of the situations in a picture which is otherwise melodramatic. Others in the cast include Gordon Wcstcott, Minna Gombell, Beulah Bondi, Vince Barnett, Phillip Reed, Mayo Mcthot and Renee Whitney. The picture was directed by Robert Florey from the screen play by Lillie Hayward and Peter Milne, and is said to give a unique and interesting insight into what goes on behind the dosed doors of a big metropolitan hospital.
Hal lvoacli is about to make a talkie version of ‘ ‘ Tlio Bohemian Girl," Balfc’s famous light opera.
