MONTREAL ‘Special The audience was _ almost ifke an Island audience so warm and receptive” said Johnny Wayne im speeking of the sell-out audience at. Place des Arts. on opening night of
Wayne and Shuster in Montreal.
| “Five minutes on stage con- *vinced us we were in the pre- sence of friends”
Montrea! received Wayne and Shuster with warmth and ad- miration, as shown by the re-
views of. the show. These critics
are the toughest in Canada, ac- knowledged Johnny and went further to gay, “I feel they sum-
medup what-the-rest of Canada, will have to say in what I call rave reviews
NOT “SMALL TOWN”
Johnny feels that the show is good public relations and publi- | city for the Islahd. Since it orig-| in Charlottetown, the cast felt concern a show coming out of Charlottetown would be treated as ‘‘small town’, but “after the performance the general opinion appeared to be that it had lived up to the high
“The Island should be very proud; no one could possibly have called the show a small town performance’. Johnny thinks that the majority of peo- ple were extremely surprisd,
for they didn't expect. anything |:
quite so big “and good-looking. So “...whai is good in Charlotte- town is goo? in Montreal’’ tics remarked that the show was wonderfully put together, expen- sively costumed and mounted. |
Some script changes have been made but the show is ba- isically the same as seen on the Island. The orchestra was a new" addition. The typical Island hu- |mor in the show was well ac-| |cepted and the song “Charlotte. | town"’ was a big hit with the au- dience. }
A few Montreal reporters | thought the show could have had a more French-Canadian theme. The general feeling among the cast was that the show was great as it stood and did not need to be adapted especially | for French-Canadian audiences. | Rather than being annoyed at Wayne and Shuster's subtle digs at the disunited state of Quebec |

The show goes next to Wind- sor, Ont. where :t will meet a second test: playing to a partly American audience A SURE HIT
Just a word about another Is- land-born show, “Anne of Green Gables’. Johnny Wayne thinks that it has the makings for greatness. He said that “Anne’’ could play now at Place des Arts and give them all the shock of their lives. It would thrill the audience and astound the critics. And sooner or later he feels that it will hit the limelight on Broadway and in Hollywood.
He finished by saying ‘“Char- lottetown may yet give all Can- ada a big lesson’.
