French Films Will Present "Maria Chapdelaine" Tonight

"Maria Chapdelaine", a French film based on the novel by Louis Hemon, will be presented by the French Talking Film Committee this evening at 8.50 o'clock at the Institute of Geographical Exploration in Cambridge.

The story is laid in the Lake St. John region of New Brunswick, Canada, and depicts graphically the rugged French folk and bleak countryside of that region. The mental struggles of the heroine, Marie, in deciding whether to stay in her native country with her own countrymen and her father, or to go to the glamorous States with her lover form one of the main themes of the story.
