Montgomery, dramatized by Alice Chadwicke, on January 21 with the following cast: Anne Shirley, Virginia Clark; Marilla Cuthbert, Esther Williamson; Matthew Cuthbert, George Gagnon; Diana Barry, Ruth Clooney; Mrs. Barry, Marion Johnson; Rachel Lynde, Alice Franklin; Josie Pye, Mildred Harty; Mrs. Allen, Elinor Thomas; Gilbert Blythe, Donald MacQuarrie; Florence Remson, Myrtle Churchill; Minnie Steam, Viola Mo- sesso; Moody Spurgeon, William Wood; Mrs. Alexander Spencer, Martha Morse; and Ira Mills, Charles Williams. The story is of an orphan, Anne Shir- ley, who is cursed with an over-active imagination which causes her much misery both in the orphanage in which the first scene is laid, and in the house of the Cuthberts by whom she is adopted. Anne’s freckles are a great discomfort to her until the last act when she has outgrown them and some of her flights of fancy. Several touches of comedy were the puffing of Mrs. Alexander Spencer, who was troubled with shortness of breath; Matthew Cuthbert, who could never make up his own mind; Josie Pye, who giggled constantly; and Moody Spurgeon, who took himself and life very seriously and was never known to smile. The heroine’s vivid imagination and very frequent fits of crying were also the source of much amusement. The cast was well chosen by Miss Kathryn Megley of the faculty, who also coached the play. Miss Megley, as usual, gave up a great deal of her time, as did the members of the cast, for the rehearsals of the play. From the number of tickets sold, and from the favorable comments on the play, the Senior Class considers it a great success.
