‘ The Doctor and the Debutante,’ the latest of the Dr Kildare series, which will be shown at the Regent to-morrow, makes interesting use of the contradictory ethics of interhbspital arrangements for the collection of street casualties. A feature of the film is the newcomer, Ann Ayers, as a cool and audaciously impertinent debutante, under whose forthright yet suave feminine cajolings even the hard-boiled Dr Gillespie becomes a little kittenish. This young actress is a decided find. Her voice-recalls that of Ruth Hussey, and she is not unlike the latter in appearance. Her unusual personality, humour, and poise certainly compensate in a large measure for the tedium of this, her first picture. Lew Ayres is, more likeable than ever as Kildare, and Lionel Barrymore’s Gillespie delights as usual. In her minor role Jean Rogers is an attractive acquisition to the Kildare series, and deserves bigger things.
