Quick note: During the transition to sound cinema in the United States, it was common for films to be produced in both silent and sound versions, since the exhibition sector of the industry took some time to convert its theaters. While Anna Christie would only appear in sound-equipped houses, the as-yet-unnamed film could presumably go out to all markets.
