ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS
(R.K.O.)
IN which Anne Shirley (exGreen Gables) continues with her saccharine task of bringing sweetness and light
into the lives of ali and sundry, Among the major triumphs of the unendurably priggish Miss Anne (now assistant-mistress at a country school) ‘are several misers, misanthropes, and embittered spinsters, a half-wit, an orphan child, half the staff of her school, and most of the scholars, and a prodigal son who drinks too much. Nothing seems to have been omitted from this orgy of Victorian moralising. It is all just too, too sweet: but we are aftaid the fairies at the bottom of our garden moved out round about the time Hitler and Co, first moved in.
