STRAND

“OH! WHAT A NURSE” It is the Syd Chaplin of “Charley’s Aunt” and “The Man on the Box,” the Syd Chaplin of the ludicrous female disguises and winks and nods and uproarious gags, who appears in “Oh! What a Nurse!” Syd starts as a newspaper reporter, but it isn’t long before we find him disguised as a bootleg queen and as

a trained nurse. We see him through the most wildly imaginative series of laugh situations that have been evolved by a screen comedian. And the more we see of him the better we like 'iim. It’s all Chaplin, this picture, and therefore all funny. But “Chuck” Reisner, who directed, is undoubtelly entitled to share honours, and Patsy

Ruth Miller, who plays the runaway heiress, fills the eye pleasantly whenever she is on the screen. “Oh! What a Nurse!” which will finish a most successful run at the Strand to-night, easily takes its place with the funniest comedies that have been screened. It ranks with the best pictures of Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton, and puts Syd Chaplin in a definite position as one of the Big Four of screen comedians.
