The Cross Red Nurse is a one-reel 1918 silent comedy film directed by and starring Marie Dressler.[1]

Made during the First World War the title clearly alludes to a Red Cross Nurse and is often erroneously labelled as "The Red Cross Nurse".[2] Dressler at the time was putting effort into patriotic wartime activities and this is one of her few films from this period.[3]

Plot

A nurse (Dressler) works in a sanatorium. When it is rumoured that she has become an heiress, a number of potential suitors book themselves into the sanatorium to try to woo her.
