NATIONAL
“ANNA CHRISTIE” “Anna Christie,” at the [National Theatre, is the story of a barge captain whose character is bad, but who reforms himself in order to look after his daughter, when she returns to live with him on the barge. The daughter, Anna Christie, splendidly portrayed by Greta Garbo, is supposed to have been living safe from harm in the country, and so that she may continue in innocence her father sends away the drunken woman he has had living with him before his child returns. When off the coast of New England, a sailor is picked up by the barge, and falls in love with Anna, who confesses that she is not the innocent girl they have thought her. Both men attempt to drown their disgust in drink, but Matt, the sailor, eventually asks Anna’s forgiveness, and there is a reconciliation ending to the picture which promises a better future for Anna Christie.
A splendid supporting programme of shorter talkies will also be presented.
