No, Bob Did Not Play a Nurse

This is the photoplay copy of  "War Nurse."  I believe four pictures is the minimum number of photos in any of the photoplay editions, except for "Lady in the Lake" which only has photos on the dust jacket.

One should wonder why a picture featuring Bob as an airplane pilot is used as the frontispiece for a book about nurses.  Well, Robert Montgomery was a rising star and that's the way it was in the business.  And let's face it, he was pleasing to the eye. 



That's Anita Page saying farewell to her lover played by Robert Ames.  I looked up Mr. Ames, curious as to what happened to him.  Poor guy died at 42 of delirium tremens in late 1931.  

(Google updated blogspot recently, the format used for this post.  I'm not at all computer savvy, so am doing my entries using the trial and error approach with the hopes of stumbling on the right way to do things eventually.  Please bear with me!)
