 Lew Ayres is excellent in the title rcle, with a uniformly fine cast fea- turing Lionel Barrymore, Lynne Carver, Nat Pendleton, Jo Ann Say CTS and Samuel s. Hinds
 The story presents realistic view of life inside the walls of metro politan hospital today Ayres, as an interne, encounters his first diff culty when the protects a fellow doc tor who has failed to save the life of an influential politician. Again he becomes involved in trouble when he opposes the diagnosis of prom inent psychiatrist who declares a girl patient to be mental case. For this Kildare is dismissed.
 His friend and ally is the veteran pr. Gillespie, portrayed by Barry more, whose performance is superb Eventually, young Doctor Kildare proves himself and is reinstated, opening the way to a career and marriage with his boyhood sweet heart, played by the charming Lynne Carver.
 Jo Ann Savers is excellent as the tragic daughter of rich man who is the innocent cause of Kildare's difficulty.
