A NIGHT NURSE HAS VERY TOUGH TIME Barbara Stanwyck Takes a Sock on the Jaw in This Recital of What a Certain Profession Suffers. “TkTIGHT NURSE,” Warner Brothers production starring Barbara In Stanwyck, is the attraction to be presented on the Apollo screen starting Saturday next. Miss Stanwyck is said to surpass the work she recently did in “Illicit,” in her portrayal of the emotional character of Lora Hart, the night nurse of the story.

Lora comes to the great city hospital, unsophisticated and unused to the ways of the world—and during the years of her apprenticeshipmeets all sorts and conditions of people—and leaves, aware of the tragedy of life, but compensated by the love, of a young roughneck who comes for treatment of a wounded arm and comes many times thereafter, for "heart treatment.” Lora Hart meets temptations, fears, doubts and conflicts of loyalty that make her life a dynamic series of dramatic episodes. Through one of her assignments as a night nurse she becomes the central figure of a diabolical plot to do away with two lovable children. The story is said to be intensely gripping—and many screen notables play its widely varia.nt roles. Ben Lyon is seen opposite Miss Stanwyck. and the cast includes Clark Gable, recently seen in Norma Shearer’s starring vehicle, "A Free Soul”; Joan Blonaeil and Edward Nugent. Vitaphone Varieties, including Bobby Jones in the golf reel. “Big Irons," and Fox Movietone News supplement the feature on the program. Indianapolis theaters today offer: Mrs. Leslie Carter in "The Shanghai Gesture” at English’s, Blanche Sweet at the Lyric, “Three Who Loved" at the Circle, “Hush Money" at the Indiana. “White Shoulders" at the Ohio, “Son of India” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Mutual. 1,180 Hear Stories Attendance at the story telling hours in the city parks last w T eek was 1,180, setting the highest weekly mark this year. Eighty-four stories were told at thirty grounds.
