is nlways getting into ticklish situations

Charles Hrnnden. a commoner, but com
manded by her brother. Henry VIII, te
marrv the King of Trance, there Is
plenty of opportunity for scenes of the

"ANNA CHRISTIE" HAS '
TANG OF THE SEA
Eugene O'Neill's Powerful
Drama of Lives Qene Wrong
Opens at Walnut
Walnut Philadelphia Is at last priv
ileged te nee a drama br Kugenc
O'Neill In which the sweep of the story
keeps full pace with the boundless reach
of this man's Imagination and keen
sense of the atmospheric.
"Anna Christie," with its opening
act in the bleak and murky sIuhIewh
of Jehnny-thc-l'rlest's saloon in the
New Yerk waterfront, its second net
aboard a coal barge in Provlncetewn
harbor, hemmed in by n ghostly fog,
and Its constantly repented allusions te
"That el' davll wa." must have been
accounted a play of atmosphere and
picturesque setting first of all, if It had
had substance one whit less absorbing.
Here, however, is a case of logical dra
matic development, normal conflict of
character. substantial characteriza
tiens all substituted for the Miperlngs
and self-conscious gesticulations of the
two ether O'Neill plays shown here.
"Anna Christie" can be called many
things; we would prefer te call it n
drama of fnlsc pretenses mid shuttered
illusions. O'Neill has set out te show
that even the flotsam and jetsam of the
.ntni.fi.niif tnnv linre illusions i tUIlt
jehnnv-the-I'riesfu try te live up te
Ntnndards that seem te 111 consort with
even the meat Dcseticn i''

at
their sordid lives.
Old Chris Chrlstopher-en, befuddled
and sodden, is still unxlmm te assume
n virtue thnt he bus net when he learns
his daughter is coming from the est;
thnt same daughter, fresh from two
vears of evil living, meekly submits, te
n drink of Kirsaparilla instead of her
favorite whisky highball In her en

fore her rough, old, "t(uarc-hcad
father.
Even mere does she strive te conceal
the reality of these two .vears she spent

The basis of each of th" tour new
(perhaps less in the second) is this
conflict of pretenses and false hopes.
Se does O'Neill get dn t the con
crete, and create a drama rather thun
a monologue in an exotic case or a
stump speech in the guise of n play.
Miss Puuline Lord, as Anna, net only
gives one of the linest clinracterizatieiix
seen here this season, but does one of
the most vivid things of her career.
Strident, In turn mocking and delimit,
then snd-e.ved and frightuied. she makes
this daughter of old Chris an unforget
table figure, and she achieves her great
effect by the quietest of methods. Geerge.
Marien, pln.ving the role of the father,
is almost ns tine. His part is the least
changed from "Chris," the original of
the present day. Ills hatred of the se;
and his love for his daughter dominate
his ritcced nnd intensely human per-
sennllty. Frank Shannei
