EVERYBODY’S
“THE COUNTRY DOCTOR” A new hero type, that of a shabby, kindly old physician, portrayed by Rudolph Schildkraut in the title of The Country Doctor,” is the newest addition to screen portraits. The picture is a drama of rural New England life 30 years ago, immortalising that unsung, typical character —the country practitioner. It will be shown at the Everybody’s Theatre tonight. Gladys Brockwell as the loving mother with a past, the exposure of which drives her to suicide, evinces artistry of high calibre, while Mr. De Grasse as the small town tyrant, Virginia Bradford as the young wife and Frank Marion as the husband, contribute much to the enjoyableness of the picture. Those who like dramatic pictures, relieved by wholesome laughs will find “The Country Doctor” well worth seeing. Manbait,” starring Marie Brovost and Kenneth Thompson, will be the second feature.
