Seymour Hicks stars as
miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this quality retelling of Charles Dickens' “A
Christmas Carol”.
The classic tale in
which he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit
him, revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what
opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and
the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways. Scrooge is faced
with his own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his
own future will hold, death or redemption. The Spirits are played by Marie Ney
(Past), Oscar Asche (Present) and C.V. France (Future)
The other key
characters and portrayed by Claude Rains (Marley), Mary Glynne (Belle), Robert
Cochran and Barbara Everest (The Cratchit’s), Philip Frost (Tiny Tim), and Robert
Cochran (Fred).
