DOCTOR” Universal’s • “Oh, Doctor!” starring Edward Everett Horton, will be shown at the Elite Theatre to-night. The picture is an adaptation of Harry Leon Wilson’s humorous novel of the same name and presents inimitable Horton in the role of the chief character, New Billop, a hypochondriac who sells his birthright for a mess ,of pills. He lives to regret the bargain and then regains his heritage by methods which, although highly amusing, are dangerous and thrilling. Wilson’s novel and the screen version present the chief character as a man fond of his ailments, who hasn’t the money to indulge in all the fancy phases of it. He’s due to come into a million dollars in six months, but is certain he’ll die before he can enjoy it. In order to make his last few days a delight on earth, he sells his coming fortune to a band of sharpers, on condition they advance him money wtih which to indulge his desires. The fun begins when Horton, falling in love, tries to impress his sweetheart with a series of dare-devil, breath-taking and neck risking stunts which almost cause the crooks to die of heart failure.
