The Huron Country Playhouse has played a suc- cessful production of this famous story at the Grand Bend Theatre for one sold-out week, and a 12- city tour. The production now returns to the Piayhouse for an extended two-week run, August 25 - September 5. Tickets are still available for most performances. First written by Lucy Maude Montgomery in 1904, it was rejected by several publishers, and was consequently packed away for 4 years. In 1908 she submitted it once more, and this time it was accepted and soon appeared in bookstores. It received phenomenal ac- claim everywhere. Soon it was being published in 39 different languages, and became popular all over the world. -- In 1922 a silent film version of the book appeared starring Mary Miles Minter. In 1936, a young actress, Dawn O'Day, changed her name to Anne Shirley when she appeared in the "Talkie". In 1955 TV producer-director Norman Campbell asked actor Donald Harron for an idea to fill up ninety minutes of television time, Harron suggested a musical version of Anne of Green Gables because he happened to be reading the book to, _his two daughters at theitime.The11956 TV musical was a success and repeated again in 1958. In 1965 MavorMoore, artistic director of the newly founded Confederation Theatre in Prince Edward Island, the locale of the novel, commissioned a stage version of the TV musical. Harron and. Campbell again collaborated. The Canadian production has been running every summer in Prince Edward Island since 1965 and had a sell-out coast to coast tour of Canada in 1967. It was chosen to represent Canadian theatre at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. London and New York productions were also mounted.
