The celebrated Dr. Lorens is shown at work.” The story also reported that a physician and four nurses attended each showing; that audiences would be separated, with matinee showings for women and evening showings for men; that no one under 16 would be admitted; and that women’s showings included a lecture by Mrs. Jardine McCree and men’s showings included a lecture by Goldin.
