“THE WHITE PARADE” TO-MORROW AT 2.15 AND 8 At the Waipukurau Theatre to-mor-row, wilt be shown “The White Parade,” starring John Boles and Loretta Young. This is a story dealing with the training of candidates for the nursing profession—telling their trials and disappointments and vividly showing what an heroic breed they are. It is a story with a soul! “The White Parade” may safely be described as an extraordinary picture. Extraordinary not only in its material, but the telling of the story. It is a gripping and a poignant drama, and the manner of its presentation.—buoyant, easy, skilful —is a distinct contribution to screen history. Loretta Young offers a masterly performance as the young student nurse who is the heroine. The film follows her schooling from the day of her enrolment, until just graduated, she has to make her choice between the man .she loves, John Boles, and the

service whose true meaning has become every day more clear to her. J din Boles contributes a splendid characterisation as the rich young suitor who, baffled by the elusive secret of thesd girl nurses, seeks to persuade her that her life lies with him. There are memorable performances also by Dorothy Wilson, Muriel Kirkland and Astrid Allwyn, among the heroine’s comrades, and by Jane Harwell and f?ara Haden, as veteran nurses who are their superiors.
