Village Squire, 1976-06, Page 9The Star-Spangled Girl plays trom July
7-10.
The French are also celebrated at Grand
Bend this year in a salute to Olympic year.
Irma La Douce, the musical by Alexandre
Breffort and Marguerite Monnot. The
show has been a hit in France, Britain,
New York and around the world. A French
madame bids her profession goodbye for
true love and leaveds a string of broken
hearts behind her. That will play from July
14-17.
Although a new Warren Graves comedy
was canned by the cutbacks, one of his
former hits will be part of this year's
Playhouse playbill. The Mumberly Inherit-
ance is a good-time melodrama. At
Mumberly Manor, Suffolk, Daphne nurses
her ailing father while brother Jack is off in
Canada and Marmaduke Mayhen provides
her evil threat. The play runs July 21-14.
Another perennial favourite comes next
in the tradition of the Playhouse of
alternating musicals with regular plays
The Boyfriend, Sandy Wilson's spoof of the
1920's has had many performances. Set in
Madame Dubonnet's exclusive French
Riviera finishing school the girls pursue
boys, not books. The show is performed
I my 28-31.
Another French offering follows. Jean
Anouilh's farce Waltz of the Toreadors
tells of a blustery retired army officer
examining his conquests both on and off
the field of battle. It plays August 4-7.
Probably the biggest musical hit of the
season will be Anne of Green Gables, the
second Canadian offering of the summer.
Starting with a famous humorous and
touching book by Lucy Maude Montgom-
ery, Don Harron added his 'own way with
words and Norman Campbell's music to
turn out the first really truly international
Canadian musical comedy hit. The show
played in London for months, in the U.S.,
and has been a fixture at the Charlottetown
Festival for all the years the Festival has
been operating.
Audiences around the world know the
story of little orphan Anne (with an "e")
finding a home with the straightlaced
Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. The
expectation of the popularity of the show
has led Playhouse artistic director Murphy
to book it for two weeks, Aug. 11-14 and
again on Sept. 1-4.
Also around for two weeks will be a solid
audience pleaser Charley's Aunt, Brandon
Thomas' hilarious farce when Jack poses
as Charley's aunt only to have the real aunt
turn up. The show runs Aug. 18-21 and
Aug. 25-28.
Tickets are now available at the box
office at the farm. Seats are S5. and $4.50.
