SYD CHAPLIN IN
"OH! WHAT A NURSE!"
"Charley's Aunt" and "The Man on
the Box" established Syd Chaplin in
the front' rank of screen stars. Even
Brother Charlie probably never caused
more actual laughter in any two pic
tures that Brother Syd did in those
first two.
And now Syd has gone and done
himself one beter in his latest . pic
ture. -"Oh! What a Nurse!" which
comes to the Idle Hour theatre Mon
day and Tuesday. Here is a comedy
that allows llvirtually no let-up in the
laughter it provokes. It is fast, fu
rious, rollicking fun from start to
finish.
Written ' by Robert E. Shcnvood.
editor and motion picture critic of
"Life," in co'labroation with Bertram
Bloch, it faced the possibility of hu
miliating disaster unless it were ac
tually very, very funny.' For Sher
wood, as a critic, has been merciless
in his attacks upon other screen
writers, and, as .the editor of "Life,"
he had the comic magazine's av::
repmtation ,to uphold.
"Oh! What a' Nurse!" simply had
to be . funny. And, in the production
given by the Warner Bros., it turns
out to be just about twice as funny
as anyone had a right to expect.
It is truly hilarious.
Syd Chaplin appears as - a ..news
paper reporter, who is called upon
to substitute, for the .woman who
writes the Advice to the Lovelorn
column, and Who writes , a stereotyped
note in reply to a question by -romantic
reader. The advice stir?
a whirlwind of excitement in an in
fluential citizen's home, ' and . Chap
lin is ordered by his editor to go tr
straighten things out. His madly ex
citing, adventures fill an hour or more
of wild exhilaration.
The comedy, obviously, has been
heavily gagged in the manner of the
old slap-stick shows; . the . difference
being htat the "Oh! What a Nurse!"
gags arc new. ,
"Chuck" Reisner, the director, prob
ably deserves a large share of the
credit for the clever gagging. Himself
"a gag man" once with Charlie Chap
lin, he has proved to be one of the
most original laughmakcrs the screen
has known. .
And Syd Chaplin !-Well, if you
liked him' in his other pictures, you
will find he is fully twice as funny
in this one. The story, quite logically,
gives him another chance to masque
rade in women's clothes; and, if any
one is going to do that sort of thing,
Syd Chaplin is the man to do it. He
has made the female masquerade . a
thing of unbridled joy. .
Playing opposite him in the picture
is the lovely Patsy Ruth Miller who
is developing into one of ' the -most
adroit and charming comediennes of
the screen.

Rin-Tin-Tin Triumphs
In "Hills of Kentucky"
. The latest Rin-Tin-Tin picture, "Hills
of Kentucky,'" a Warner Bros;, pro
duction, which comes, to the. Idle
Hour theatre Friday and Saturday,
deals with a Blue Glass legend of a
dog known sa the Grey Ghost.
Back in days when starvation was
ravaging the mountain settlements,
men were forced to live like animals.
They had no food for their beasts.
Their dogs they cast from them, to
fight or to die.
When the roL' , known as the' Grey
Ghost was cast out, he left behind
him - a - little - boy, who had been his
constant companion. The boy died
of grief and starvation. But the Grey
Ghost did not die. He gathered to
gether the other dog exiles and they
ran as a lean wolf-pack, terrorizing
the countryside.
Some time after, when the moun
taineers' condition was improving, a
school teacher arrived in the mountain
hamlet with her little crippled brother.'
Down by a stream where' the boy was
fishing came the Grey Ghost.
The little boy did not know enough
of the countryside legend to rim at
sight of the animal, who had eluded
the expert hunters of the territory.
To the little boy, the Grey Ghost was
just a dog, to be made friends with.
The story proper is the story of
these, two; the boy and the dog. It
is a story crammed with melodrama
tic surprises, and has generally been
accepted as the most powerful ve
hicle yet devised for Rin-Tin-Tin's
thrilling talents.
With this tale is interwoven the ro
mance of the school teacher, played
by Dorothy Dwan, with two brothers
played by Jason Robards and Tom
Santschi. Mr. Robards is the actor
from the Broadway stage who scored
so heavily as leading man for Dolores
Costello in "The Third Degree."
Additional interest for dog lovers. is
lent to this production as Nanette.
