A a pretty. hectic 12 stop Western Ontario tour for the last couple of weeks but showed little evidence of being worn out by it all. Anne is an all Canadian show, and includes jokes about Mari- time Provinces rivallry and PEI's red mud that Canadians love.The Playhouse cast, a huge group of 40, did it justice. Anne went home for a two week run back at the Playhouse last night. It's worth seeing, even if you have to travel to Grand Bend to,do it. We drove to Brand Bend last week to see Huron Country Playhouse's second last 1976 production Charley's Aunt and enjoyed it almost as much as we did Anne.. It's a crazy farce with lots of real belly laughs., The production isn't nearly as elaborate as Anne and there's no music. Charley's humour de- pends a lot on the hamming abilities of Peter Millard as Charley's college friend who dressed up as his long lost aunt from Brazil, as she/he . says "where the nuts come from." If Anne is a women's play, Charley's Aunt belongs to the men. The female players are timid creatures who don't really develop characters of their own. The actresses are fine as far as that goes, but thereisn't much in Charley to test their talents. Veteran actor M.E. Evans is outstanding as Spettigue, sput- tering guardian and uncle to a couple of love struck girls. Mr. Evans is drama director in residence at the University of Waterloo. All's well that ends well and everybody meets a mate in Charley except Spettigue. The hilarious comedy finishes with us feeling just a little bit sorry for the blustering old man. Charley and Anne have quite a bit in common really. They're set at about the same time,Charley in averaging 1128 lbs. sold for 41.60. Nine steers consigned by Murray Bray of Wroxeter averaging 1150 lbs. sold for 41.80. There were no choice lots of heifers on offer. Good Heifers traded from 35.00 to 37.00. Choice Cows - 27.00 to 29.00. Good Cows - 25.00 to 27.00. 30 - 40 lbs. pigs traded to a high of 37.00. 40 to 50-lb. pigs to a high of 44.00. 50 to 60-lb. pigs to a high of 49.50. the 1890's and Anne in 1904 and probably both are among the most popular English language plays. The Huron Country Playhouse now ending their fifth season under James Murphy, does a good job with each of them. By Susan White Anne (spelled with an "e" she insists) of Green Gables skipped into Seaforth Sunday and the Huron Country Playhouse pro- duction won the hearts of most in the local audience. L.M. Montgomery's children's classic was adapted for the stage by Don Harron and Norman Campbell and the story relied heavily on music. The music, with accompaniment by 11 musicians from the London Symphony was excellent, if a little loud in the local auditorium, which isn't big enough for concert hall sound. MarylutMoyer was an energetic and engaging Anne ,,nd the supporting players were bright and lively. George Murray-stiile the show as Mathew Cuthbert who, along with his sister Manilla, adopt Anne, even though they "wanted a boy". A lot of us remember Mr. Murray from the early days of Canadian TV and his years of experience ga vie him depth and• polish that the other actors, playing in Anne for only a few short weeks this summer, cou- ldn't hope to match. • The Grand Bend company is taking theatre to the people this summer and Anne was sponsored in Seaforth by the Van Egmond Foundation. There were healthy audiences for both the evening and the matinee shows in the SDHS auditorium. Anne had the polish Seaforth expects from the Playhouse com- pany, who packed SDHS last summer for a one night stand of "Hello Dolly". The matinee we saw dragged a little and the SDHS auditorium was pretty hot. But the audience stayed involved right to the end of the three hour show. We understand the pace picked up quite a bit for the eyeing show, after the large cast got used to the SDHS facilities. They've been on I Sales — Service I Installation I I.
