The Lady Doctor

It has nothing new

A farce featuring Blanche Cornwall as a lady doctor in a college town. She reads in the college library and four of the men (there seem to he only four at the college at the time) fall in love with her. Darwin Karr wins her. The trouble with it is that it has nothing new and the scenario is weak. - The Moving Picture World, April 26, 1913

Claire, studying for a lady doctor, does not care for men, particularly four students, chums, who are greatly attracted by her. Three of these chums, tired of being continually snubbed by her, resolve upon a scheme which will not only bring themselves under her notice, but cause her, through doctor's instincts, to care for them. At various times when Claire is near, one pretends to sprain his wrist, another cuts himself badly, and a third has fainting fits. Claire doctors the three chums, much to their enjoyment, meanwhile, Dan, the fourth chum, will not impose upon Claire's kindness in this fraudulent manner. A girl friend discovers that the chums are merely shamming, and tells Claire of it: the two plan revenge. The chums, coming along a country road, find Claire in a ditch, with her bicycle on top of her. She says she has broken her ankle; so the four reverently carry her home on a hurdle. As soon as she reaches her door, she leaps from the hurdle and runs away laughing. To their disgust they see other people, too, are capable of a little maligning. So when the chums again come across Miss Claire lying dusty and limp in the middle of the road, they laugh and walk on, excepting Dan, who discovers she has met with a real accident and is badly hurt. He lifts her up and carries her to her home. When the other fellows see Dan walking arm-in-arm with the bandaged young lady doctor, both palpably in love with each other, they growl.
