Rosa- iind Russell and Alexander Knox o-star, and Dean Jagger is lop featured. This feature opens at the 20th Century Theatre tonight It is not generally known that Elizabeth Kenny fell in love as a {voung girl with Kevin Connors, (Dean Jagger), an Australian Army stricer. Their romance lasted all through their lives and many times I'the wedding date was fixed, and each time postponed owing to Nurse Kenny's interest in the cause to which she has dedicated her life. A professional ruling barred nurses irom marrying unless they left their profession. i “Sister Kenny" laid great store by her love, and her whole life was a struggle between love and duty, but duty always won. Kevin Con- nors died just about the time the picture went into production, still . (faithful to his love. The role of Connors in the picture was per- sonally approved by Sister Kenny herself. cs, |PIONEERS" HOME |" CHRISTMAS FUND TOTALED $5,964 A total of $5,964.00 was donated to ithe Pioneers’ Home Christmas Fund this year, making $35 apiece for the 169 inmates of the home, according to a report issued by Wil- | i Wed; Announcement ;s o reor s o wi- | (P hi Sitka.
