Blessed with fine acting and superb direction, here is a picture you’ll long remember. Against a hospital background which is at all times genuine and human are por trayed the good times, the bad Limes, the dreams and ideals of a group of girls in nurses training. Loretta Young, giving the best per formance in her career, stands out in the group. A Cinderella love story thready through the picture, with John Boles, wealthy play-boy, as the Prince Charming and Miss Young his desired. Jane Darwell, as the soft-hearted head nurse who must be stern, is outstanding. The en tire supporting cast, particularly Sara Haden, Muriel Kirkland and Dorothy Wilson, is excellent. It’s a beautiful, a heart-stirring picture which keeps you trembling between tears and laughter. Checks COLDS and FEVER day . Liquid - Tablets H* 7 J Salve - Nose Drops in 30 minutes
