He had just come from view- ing for the second time at Con-

federation...Centre --theatre— the

play which has been the object | one

of countless of praise.

BY morning, he was hooked @a “Anne”. His daughters were growing up then, and he admits he was probably oriented to what he thought they would like; besides, the script was ex- — , the characters well-de-
