'Annie Christe' On Tonight By Players ""Anna Christie,"" written by one of America's foremost playwrites, Eugene O'Neil, will be presented by the Glen Players, this evening and tomorrow night, after a successful first night. This play opened in New � York in 1921 and in England in 1923, receiving from both countries critics high praise. The English critics, especially, considered this play a landmark in the field of American theatrical drama. The play's story is of a poor Swedish waif of the Northwest, be-trayed by her own family, and dragged by circumstances through a sordid life. She is then reunited with her father, who had neglected her throughout her years of child-hood, and finally redeemed by his love and by the sea to which gen-erations of her family had given their lives. In this framework is woven a fury of passion and a gus-to of action which will leave a memorable impression of people and scenes never to be forgotten. The play promises to create from the moment the curtain rises an air of reality about the chartcters and scenes. As the curtain rises on ""Johnny the Priests"" dull and sor-did salon, the atmosphere of the sea holds us. The barmen, the drunks, the old sailors�all have their doubles in real life.

Anna, played by Betty Lou Mariner, is a tragic cynic whose snatches of slang reveal the deep gulfs of the underworld. The giant sailor, Mat Burke, played by Mel Shaffer, is enslaved by his tremendous passion and bullying strength.
