Crime Does Not Pay
(Kosy: Screening Friday.)
Bringing to tho screen an unusual love story of the hard boiled cop who
woos a girl by reciting poetry, Universal's high tension dramatic romance, “Nurse from Brooklyn,” drives homo the lesson that “crime doesn't pay” in a picture that is sheer excitement and heart-moving entertainment.
Sally Eil-ers again wins praise for her highly emotional appeal as the nurse, Beth Thomas, who in spite of herself finds her heart swaying to the policeman, Jim Barnes, the man she thinks has shot down her brother in cold blood. Paul Kelly, as the policeman who keeps romance and sense of duty in separate compartments, brings life and action to the performance, llis is a forceful and unusual delineation, for ho makes it seem logical that a policeman would use the girl he loves as “bait” iu order to lure a ruthless killer into his net.
