up-to- date revue, with pretty girls in
pretty frocks, and some piano patter
and songs that do not come under the
heading of classical.
Josephine Victor appears in little
playlet, "Juliet and Romeo" which is
agreeably presented, with many origi-
turns after long absence from the
vaudeville stage, looked charming in q
delectable pink gown, and was well
coined warmly. Her material, "Chat-
terlogues," by Neville Fleeson, is not
particularly clever nor very well suit
ed to her voice or personality, and it
was not until she went back to old
time stuff, like "Susanne," that she
really came into her own. Pearl
Regay, assisted by Roy Sheldon, is the
real hit and big feature of the pro-
gram, and would be, entirely unassist-
ed, or assisted by any one else. She is
really wonderful dancer, with grace,
agility, technique and, best of all
qualifications, magnetism that reaches

Head of Nurses
AT Presbyterian
Hospital to Quit
Miss Anna C. Maxwell, in
Profession Forty Years,
Leaves Ii Stanch Advo-
cate of Eight-Hour Day

Miss Anna C. Maxwell, superin-
tendent Of nurses FOR many years at
Presbyterian Hospital, will resign and
leave the hospital July 1. She will
travel for time in Europe.
When Miss Maxwell entered the pro-
fession her day was at least eighteen
hours and many times she has re-
manned on duty from sunrise to sun
rise, but now she strongly advocates
the eight-hour day which is in effect
at the hospital In Miss Maxwell's 8
opinion the long hours We're criminal
and the young nurses of 1921 could not
stand them.
There is much talk Of the athletic
girl" Miss Maxwell said Yesterday,
"but it is one thing to play tennis all
day out of doors and another thing to
endure cranped quarters and bad air
continuously, with the strain of heavy
work indoors"
Miss Maxwell cited some instances
to show just how heavy nurses work
used to be. ain the early days." she
said, "there were no stretchers or ele-
vators and a six-foot basket was used,
with handles on the side."
eve had 10 stitfen our spines," she
continued, ''to reach the third floor
with $50 pounds aboard. At some hos
pitfalls the nurses were treated as
menials and were required to enter by
basement door. The physicians kept
them from knowing the contents of
medicines on the theory that nurses
would imagine results, yet the nurses
were to judge by the cries of the
patients when to summon the doctors.
eve swept the floors" Miss Maxwell
said, "dusted the wards, kept the bath
room and lavatory clean, listed the
laundry, served the meals, washed the
dishes, cleaned the ice box. When the
beds were full we each cared as we
might for sixteen patients. Many of
them recovered"
Now things have changed, Miss Max
we'll said, so that nursing Is the best
possible preparation for any condition
of life. The personnel of students has
improved equally, as Miss Maxwell sees
it, in the forty years that have passed
since her graduation. She was a nurse
ten years before coming to the Presby
terian Hospital. She had charge of a
military hospital in the Spanish-Amer-
lean War.
