POEM ON NIGHTINGALE It city boasts a poet who has little rep around, ask him to compose a poem inspired by film, calling it ''The White Angel.'’ He intermingles snatches of Florence Nightingale's heroism and Kay Francis’ characterization. He shouldn't have trouble getting it published in newspaper. Introductory verse plugs film. OLDEST NURSE AS GUEST Oldest retired nurse in town might be very happy it you make a little fuss over her. Invite her to special screening at which you have newspaper lads.
