This is the first episode of R.K.O.'s converted radio enol, "Dr. Christian," that lovable character now so well-known. The main theme of the story is the struggles of a small-town medico who is an unacclaimed genius, though this is not revealed till the end. Jean, adept with the knife, has a cure for everyone, even the heartsore and the hypochondriac. Sympathetic support is given by Dorothy Lovett as Nurse Judy, Robert Baldwin and others. The ung generation carry off their roles ly—suffering mumps, measles, and calf-love—and of these, small Patsy Lee Parsons comes near to stealing some scenes even from the great Jean himself. For those who like simple, unsophisticated humour tinged with pathos, the picture is commended, though a few incidents are a little drawn out.
