The Huron Expositor, 1976-08-26, Page 11--GOING OFF THE DEEP END Several different styles of-diving were exhibited at
the Lions pool last Friday as everybody, from •;the playground program wanted to
give the diving board a try, Friday was the last day for both the play school and play
ground programs and those from the play ground program thought a swim in the
pool was an excellent way to finish off the summer. (Staff Photo)

Anne (spelled with, nit "e" Site
insists) of Green Gables skipped
into Seaforth Sunday, and the
limon Country Playhouse pro-
duction Won the hearts of most rn
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 iste,t big
enough fu r concert ball sound.
Maryln Moyer was an energetic
and engaging Anne and the
supporting players were bright
and lively. George Murray stole
the show as Mathew Cuthbert
who, along with his sister Marina,
adopt Anne, even though they
"wanted a boy".
A lot of us remember Mn,..
Murray from the early days of
Canadian TV and his years of
experience gave 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
Donald and Kevin Coleman of
town and Allen Coleman of
London visited Moose Jaw, Sas-
katchewan and attended the
wedding of their -cousin, Glenn
Coleman and Karen Ingold.

RECEPTION
for
John MUNRO
Foundation, There were healthY
audiences for both the evetiing
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
a pretty hectic 12 stop Western
pntario 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 riyallry 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
Mr. and Mrs. William brown,

enjoyed it almost gs 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 there isn't much in
Charley' to test their talents.
Veteran actor M.E, Evahs 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
pit in common really. They're set
at about the same time,Charley
the 1890's and Anne iri .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.
