Amusements
The Dr. Kildare series of hospital dramas, all humorous, all entertaining, and all with their moments of thrills, have proved among the most popular of all screen characterisations. “Dr. Kildare’s Strange Case,” which opened at the Plaza Theatre on Saturday evening and which will be screened again tonight, is no exception. Lew Ayres is again the young hospital doctor, Lionel Barrymore is again the irrascible Dr. Gillespie and Laraine Day is again Mary Lamont, the attractive nurse.
Lionel Barrymore has ! never acted better in this role than in this picture, and he is responsible for most of the laughter, while the other two principals both attain the merit of their previous performances. The story concerns Dr. Kildare’s efforts to saye from disgrace a fellow doctor, a brain surgeon, whose patients show high mortality. When a man found in the street is'discovered after an operation to be mentally deranged the doctor is blamed and Dr. Kildare carries out 'an experiment which means , disaster or success.
