THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
SYD CHAPLIN,
"OH! WHAT A NURSE" AT THE STAR
Syd Chaplin, who ranks to-day as the screen's greatest female impersonator, will be seen at the Star Theatre in "Oh! What a Nurse," the big comedy hit which is being screened there from to- day to Saturday. The picture is one of the funniest the famous comedian has made and it is suro to draw crowded houses.
"Oh! What a Nurso" presents Syd Chaplin as a young news- paper reporter who is compelled to act as substitute for the young lady who runs the advice to the lovelorn column,. In this role he is forced to adapt female disguise, first as a widow and then as a nurse. Many exciting adventures follow with a laughable climax.
