FILM SOCIETY.
PICTURE RECOMMENCED.
The Film Society commends to public notice the picture, "Anna Christie." The handling of Eugene O'Niel's story is unusual and striking—a. wonderful piece of directorship. There is a certain opposition of dominant passions, not only between one character and another, but within the personality of each single character. The photographic settings are «uggeSßvely-;.treated* and.jetrry .out the same curious ' principle of' contrast that dominates the human characters— a painful beauty wrung from. squalor and unhappy places. The significant reticence gives tremendous force to the picture. The acting is in the hands of four v players, and all seem masters of their art, direct and sincere.'
