ine LcO$C ? Anne of Green Gables jjNNE CHADWICKE’S stage version of the popular novel, “Anne of Green Gables,” was presented by the senior class students at Sacred Heart High School on the evenings of January 15th and 16th. The students worked hard to make the production a success and the best talent in the senior class was chosen for the play. Special musical selections were arranged by Enrico Serra and Sacred Heart High School girls formed a singing and dancing chorus. The story revolved about Anne Shirley, an orphan and the heroine of the play. Josephine Matrona portrayed the adorable young Anne. The part was a long one and required an excellent memory. Josephine was outstanding in the role of Anne, The child who saved the Cuthbert’s from banqruptcy. Philip Gruccio was good as Matthew Cuthbert, Anne’s champion and “kindred spirit.” Anne Wallace portrayed Manila Cuthbert, Matthew’s sister who refused to “thaw out.” Manila was an old maid who didn’t like girls and she asked Matthew to send to Hopeton Orphanage for a boy. When Anne arrived, Manila was “fit to be tied” but after Anne saved the family from bankruptcy, Manila swore that she always wanted a girl and it was Matthew who insisted upon adopting a boy. Elsie Jane Cheli took the part of Florence Remsen, the kind superintendent of Hopeton Orphanage. Margaret Crist was to be commended in the way she de- picted Minnie Steam, the harsh attendant at the home. John Enoch deserved a hand for his part as Gilbert Blythe, the wealthiest boy in town. He supplied the love interest in the story for he and Anne were truly in love even though Anne pretended to dislike him. Yolanda Casazza perfected her part as Mrs. Alexander Spence, a lady who thought she didn’t talk enough, but whose husband thought she talked too much. Actually, she talked incessantly. Mary Sehl was entertaining as Mrs. Rachel Lvnde, a busybody and a woman who loved to give advice. Anne Giacalone took the role of Mrs. Barrv, a wealthy matron and Rose Marie Ricci played the part of Diana Barry, Anne’s bosom friend. The new minister’s wife, Mrs. Allan, was depicted by Adeline Vit, and Rita D’Alessandro and Louis Figarole took the roles of Josie Pye and Moody Spurgeon, classmates of Anne. Charles Lello gave a convincing performance in the role of Ira Mills, a wealthy business man. The plav was presented in the Sacred Heart Auditorium and the lover of plays would mark this presentation as a joyful experience.
