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. Members of the Scott family met at Benmiller Park onAugust 8th when some 40 persons enjoyed a picnic. Mr. and Mrs.Allan Neff of New Hamburg were weekend guests of Mrs.Cecil Pullman.

" 4.faMMOMINM 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, and Andrea, Collingwpod, spent the weekend with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, Jarvis Street.

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. wurossamennatmagemo Wedding Stratford SabratiOnAra0.4.1i0d, and singers plaYedctbe WA! .ao4 floal Summer Conceit to a very appreciative audience in artfect early out-door evening setting Sunday August 22nd, 7;39.
