“OH! WHAT A NURSE”
STRAND ON FRIDAY Warner Bros.’ production ol' “Oil! What a Nurse!” starring Syd Chaplin and directed by Charles “Chuck” Reisner, is an up-to-the-minute funcomedy fresh from the brains of Robert W. Sherwood, editor of “Life,” and Bertram Bloch. In “Oh! What a Nurse!” Chaplin outshines his recent successes in “The Man on the Box,” and securely substantiates himself as the greatest female impersonator that stage or screen has ever known. Beginning as a voung news reporter on a San Francisco daily, Jerry (Syd Chaplin'' is assigned to fill the place of Dolly Whimple of the “Advice to the Lovelorn” column, during her vacation. This assignment involves him in a wealth of highly humorous and unusually unenviable situations, drags him through the back door into politics and “bootlegging.” “Chuck” Reisner directed this hilarious comedy. He will be remembered as the director of “The Man on the Box.” Mr. Chaplin appears in three roles, as Jerry, Dolly Whimple and the nurse, Patsy Ruth Miller, as June Harrison, Gayne Whitman, Mathew Betz. Edith Yorke. Dave Torrance, Ed. Kennedy, Eric Johnson, Raymond Wells and Henry Barrows, assist the stars. The picture comes to the Strand Theatre on Friday.
