20 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY — L-KO NOTES Kathryne Young. 1ATHRYNE YOUNG, whose unsuspicious countenance adorns this page is the official vampire of the L-Ko Motion Picture Kompany. Every company has to have a vampire, and Miss Young was drafted from a musical comedy show on the Coast after a number of aspiring vamps had fallen down on the job. It is a right hard thing to be a successful vampire, but Kathryne gets by better than ninety-nine per cent, of the maliciously inclined sirens of the screen. Her latest exhibition of vamping occurs m "The Nurse of an Aching Heart", which is the current L-Ko release. ETDDIE BARRY is having a little run all of his own. He made a distinct hit when his first picture, "Street Cars and Carbuncles" was released. Now he is coming along in two others, and their advent is awaited with considerable interest through the fact that he appears in them. These two pictures are "The Nurse of an Aching Heart" and "Vamping Reuben's Millions," which is released the following week. Barry has had a good deal of experience in the moving picture business, having served with the Nestor, Joker, Keystone, Christy and L-Ko Komedy companies. lV/IERTA STERLING'S next release lV will be entitled "Fat and Furious," and was directed by Vin Moore. Al Forbes is the principal support. "THE NURSE OF AN ACHING HEART" L-KO KOMEDY in two reels. Directed by Archie Mayo, under the supervision of J. G. Blystone. (Copyright 1917, L-Ko Motion Picture Kompany) CAST. Mr. Winkledinkle Eddie Barry Doctor Bones Bob Mackenzie Nurse Eva Eva Novak The Cop Chester Ryckman HE patients of Doctor Bones' hospital are out airing in the park in charge of their nurses. Nurse Eva with the beautiful black eyes is in attendance on an old man, with his foot tied up. Mr. Winkledinkle, a typical park Johnnie, is resting on the grass when he catches sight of Eva. He strolls over and begins a charming flirtation with her. The cop, whose duty it is to look after the morals of the park, observes their flirtation. Doctor Bones, reading the latest authority on "How to Cut Into Patients' Bank Accounts," comes out into the park. He also sees the flirtation, and makes straight for the bench. "How dare you neglect your patient to flirt with this unworthy object?" he demands of Eva. "Sir, you will nurse a black eye for flirting with a black-eyed nurse," he threatens Winkledinkle. Winkledinkle is not going to take such language from any one, so he and the doctor start a scrap, in which the old man in the wheeled chair takes an active part, quite against his will. Finally his chair gets a push and starts off down the hill. The Doctor steps on his bandage, which begins to unroll, and Winkledinkle, the old man and Doctor Bones all fall into the lake in one heap. Eva and the cop rush to pull them out. They drag out the patient, and take him to the hospital, the doctor following, while Winkledinkle is left to shift for himself. As he sees the lovely nurse disappearing into the building, he says: "I'll get into the hospital if I die in the attempt." He proceeds to throw a fit in front of the entrance, but the passersby take it for an entertainment and tip him for his efforts. Then he climbs im the fire escape. The Doctor and the Cop see him through the window, and the Doctor leans out and Deans him with a large bottle. Winkledinkle falls, but is not hurt. A safe is being hoisted into the building. Winkledinkle goes and stands hopefully under it. His patience is rewarded, the rope breaks, and the safe falls on top of him, but his head goes right through it and he is not hurt. Then, desperate, he goes out and stands in the path of an automobile, which swerves just as it comes to him. But before he can recover from his disappointment a Ford hits him in the rear, and he has his heart's desire. He is carried into the ward in which Eva is nurse, and she devotes her entire attention to him. The Doctor sees him, and remembering his wetting in the park lake, determines on revenge. Eva protects Winkledinkle, hiding him under the bed. The Doctor gets the Cop instead, and beans him. Then Winkledinkle steals his uniform, in which to make his escape. The Janitor, however, sees and tells on him. He revives the Cop with "Feel Good" powder, and he runs out of the ward. He meets Winkledinkle and forces him to change with him. The Doctor has been told that the man he wants is wearing the uniform of the cop, so he beans the unfortunate policeman once more. Winkledinkle rushes into the ward, throws a patient out* of his bed, and hides in it. He has chosen the bed of a man who is just about to be taken to the operating room. But he discovers it in time, and seizing Eva, he raises a sail on the operating table and sails off down the hill. The entire hospital force runs after him. all the nurses with their patients in wheeled chairs. Eva and Winkledinkle sail for the docks, and just managed to make a steamer as she 5« putting out to sea. From the rail they wave farewell to Doctor Bones and his establishment.
