AwaE's "Tale of the Magical Island" play
Tumblr media
In the the sixth episode of Season 2 of Anne with an E entitled "I Protest Against Any Absolute Conclusion," the community of Avonlea comes together to put on the annual Christmas Pantomime. In this meta, I offer my analysis of this story within a story.
Not only does the plot of the panto draw heavily upon the story of Adam and Eve, but in my interpretation, it also allegorically serves as a way for Avonlea to use the medium of the theatre to process and come to grips with the threat that the grifters posed to their "magical island" community.
First, a brief synopsis of the play:
The opening number introduces the audience to an agrarian community residing on a "Magic Fantastical Island." Our hero, a farm boy, encounters a Fairy Princess who, seeing The Boy's hard work and goodness, bestows upon him a Golden Apple Tree which he vows to faithfully protect. A Dame happens upon the Golden Apple Tree and asks The Boy to hand her one of its fruits, but he refuses. When the Dame steals an apple, the Devil Lobster appears accompanied by a catchy tune. Things seem bleak when the Devil Lobster gets ahold of one of the apples, but a Prince on a noble steed arrives to vanquish the evil foe. However, the Devil Lobster thwarts the Prince by crushing his sword in his claws. As stormy skies swirl overhead, The Boy digs a large Black Hole with his trusty shovel and tricks the Devil Lobster into falling in. The hole swallows up the Devil Lobster, the day is saved, and they all lived happily ever after!
The Panto as Allegory for the Grifter Arc:
Ultimately, this play tells a simple story in which good triumphs over evil with a moral about resisting temptation and the perils of greed.
I would like to call attention to the fact that the apples are painted gold. Like their edenic counterpart, they symbolize sin and temptation, but in the context of this allegory, they also represent the enticing prospect of finding gold in Avonlea.
Tumblr media
One of the Prince's lines suggests that if the Devil Lobster got his hands on the golden apples, it would bring spoil and rot upon the town's land ("You think you can turn our land into rot?/ I'm the unconquerable prince, lest you forgot!"). This parallels the threat that the mining operation posed to Avonlea—digging up the earth in the hopes of finding gold would have defiled the land and brought environmental destruction to the small farming town.
The Devil Lobster is defeated by falling into the Black Hole—this bears a striking resemblance to how Mr. Dunlop was ultimately caught by the townsfolk in S2E3 after he fell down the mining shaft at Nate's dig site.
It's significant that The Boy is the one who digs the hole to stop the Devil Lobster. The Boy represents the every child, and more specifically, the youth of Avonlea. While the adults of the town were easily swindled by Nate and Mr. Dunlop's gold scheme, it was children, specifically Anne, Diana, and to some extent Jerry, who were able to see through the grifters' ruse, put all the pieces together, and try to stop them from getting away with their scheme.
The version of events rendered in the play puts a more heroic spin on the role The Boy plays in thwarting the evildoer. He actively sets a trap for the Devil Lobster using the pivotal prop—a shovel—to do so. Since a shovel is a tool of excavation, this reflects how the excavation site Nate initially used to stage his con became a trap and holding place for Dunlop when their ruse came crashing down.
In reality, our child heroes were not so active nor successful in thwarting Nate and Dunlop. Only Dunlop was captured whereas Nate got away with the money. After their sleuthing in Charlottetown, Anne and Diana tried to warn the Barrys about what they'd discovered, but Diana's mother wouldn't hear any of it. Anne told Marilla who thankfully believed her, but by then it was too late, and the two literally got tied up. Meanwhile, Jerry had his own moment of realization, finally recognizing the boarders as the thieves who mugged him and stole his money in the finale of season 1. He tried to throw a punch at Nate, but got beat up again and fell unconscious. Mr. Dunlop only fell into the hole, not by any of the children's doing, but because he and Nate turned against each other.
The play credits the children as the real heroes in the story and offers a happier ending than the real version of events in which the community is still reeling from the financial blow of the con, lingering distrust—especially of outsiders—and feelings of regret and shame. In particular, we see how Marilla blames herself for inviting the boarders into their community and how the fallout of the the con hits the Barrys especially hard, manifesting as marital conflict between Diana's parents. The play's happier version of events helps the town process the ordeal they've gone through and imparts a moral they learned from the experience.
Each Character's Role in the Panto:
Anne as The Boy: Like the show itself, Anne is the protagonist of the play, our plucky hero. Her stepping into the role of The Boy was foreshadowed with her trip to Carmody earlier in the episode during which she dressed up like a boy. It's also fitting that Anne plays this part since she was the one who put all the clues together about the boarders' true intentions. The fact that Anne replaces Josie in the lead role of the play, as well as Matthew's last-minute substitution for Billy as the Owl, signifies that Anne and the Cuthberts are forces of progressive change in Avonlea.
Diana as the Fairy Princess: Most characters, including Anne, see Diana as the angelic image of a proper lady. She's generous, sweet, beautiful, and comes from a wealthy family. Like her Fairy Princess counterpart who awards The Boy for his hard work, Diana sees Anne's virtues even when others don't, and overall is a supportive and generous friend.
Matthew as the Owl: Matthew stepping into this role is foreshadowed in his flashback with his brother Michael in which a young Matthew can be seen whittling an owl figurine. Owls are associated with wisdom and true sight. This is a fitting choice for a narrator character in a play and also suits Matthew who demonstrates real wisdom.
Mr. Lynde as the Devil Lobster: In S2E2, a townsperson remarks that Mr. Lynde shows no moderation whatsoever as he piles his plate full of sweets. The Devil Lobster is the embodiment of greed and avarice and proclaims that he is "simply shimmering with sin." Tamatoa who? I only know the Devil Lobster! Also, it's clear that Rachel is super into seeing her husband acting a bit naughty and decided to have some fun with this casting choice.
The minister as the Fair Dame: Seeing the minister in drag is played for comedic effect. The Dame plays the part of Eve taking the apple from the Garden of Eden. While the minister was skeptical about the gold testing business, he did not dissuade the town's eagerness for material riches and therefore also shares responsibility for inviting avarice into Avonlea.
Mr. Phillips as the "Unconquerable" Prince: This is also played for laughs as it demonstrates Mr. Phillip's inflated sense of ego. He envisions himself as a gallant hero when in reality, he is anything but. The Prince is ineffectual at fighting off the Devil Lobster and runs away like a coward, much like how the adults and authority figures of Avonlea were completely bamboozled by the grifters.
Rachel Lynde as Queen Victoria: Perhaps a narcissistic casting choice on the part of Rachel, but let's be real, she was the artistic director behind this whole production and knocked it out of the park. Pop off, queen!
I hope you enjoyed this discussion of the "play within a play" in S2E6 of Anne with and E. This is probably my favorite episode in the whole series due to its many wholesome moments, especially Jerry giving Anne his Christmas card, Gilbert and Bash coming over to the Cuthbert's for Christmas dinner, and Matthew overcoming his stage fright. 10/10 would recommend. Of course the Christmas episode absolutely slaps!

Marbled Monday
This lovely example of fantasy pattern marbling is from the Limited Editions Club's 1967 publication The Writings of Thomas Jefferson. The book was designed by Roderick Stinehour with text set in Monotype Bell types and printed at the Stinehour Press in Lunenburg, Vermont in an edition of 1500 copies. It includes 16 full-page lithographs and 36 monochrome drawings by Lynd Ward (1905-1985), who signed each volume. The paper was made by the Curtis Paper Company in Newark, Delaware.
The paper used for the cover and slipcase is a blue, red, pink, and gold marbled paper. It features a fantasy pattern primarily in light and dark shades of blue with red, pink, and gold accents. The colors of the paper are similar to those used to print Ward's two-color lithographs. You can see in the difference in the color of the paper between the slipcase and the book itself that there has been some yellowing of the paper on the slipcase, most likely from light damage.

"Mrs. Rachel Lynde was a red-hot politician and couldn’t have believed that the political rally could be carried through without her, although she was on the opposite side of politics. So she went to town and took her husband—Thomas would be useful in looking after the horse—and Marilla Cuthbert with her."

Adventures in Maud’s Recipes
Baking Powder Biscuits
The Recipe
Having publicly sworn to make another LM Montgomery recipe during my time off, I set my sights on this week after finding myself with a free block of time. Since I’m moving, I selected a recipe that wouldn’t pinch my wallet too much (i.e., was made of up ingredients I already had) and one that didn’t seem too involved. The end choice? Baking powder biscuits! I have to admit, I was somewhat suspicious of how simple this recipe was. The ingredients are flour, baking powder, salt, butter, milk – and that’s it. I am no biscuit expert, but I eyed the list critically. Shouldn’t there be…I don’t know…sugar? Yeast or something? Eggs? Nevertheless, the shortness of the recipe was a plus, and plus I had a hankering for biscuits (I AM southern).
The Results
I’m proud to say, this is a recipe where, as the unassuming expert grandma cook in the kitchen would say, I “eyeballed it.” Jane Stuart, I am ascending to your level. The recipe called for butter and shortening; I merrily chose to just use butter – after all, shortening?? In this economy?? The recipe asked for ¾ a cup of milk; I (gasp) just poured the milk into the measuring cup I had for flour until it looked mostly full. The recipe said to mix in the butter with a fork; nay, said I, I shall knead it with my hands (this was out of laziness, not expertise, but we’ll keep that on the downlow). The recipe said to roll out the dough to one inch thickness then cut out with a flour covered cutter; I just patted out some vaguely similar dough patties.
What resulted was a rather scraggly looking dough. It didn’t like itself very much. It didn’t meld together super well; it was like scraps of dough stacked on top of each other in an attempt of melding, about as united as a politician making a public appearance with their family after a cheating scandal.  
I threw it in the oven for 12 minutes and hoped for the best. By this point, I knew better than to doubt our famed Lucy Maud. I had doubted before, and gotten suitably “blessed are they who believe without seeing”-ed in a manner to rival the apostle Thomas. Sure enough, the kitchen grew scented with that heavenly baked goods smell.
What came out were these biscuits that I thought looked rather adorably like clouds:
Tumblr media
Of course, biscuits are not supposed to look like clouds, but that’s what an imagination is for. Anne Shirley taught me too well to be disappointed in that! It was time for the taste test.
The Reviews
If it tells you anything, I had already eaten four within ten minutes of them coming out of the oven. They had a nice buttery flavor to them, and drizzled with honey, they tasted divine. What’s more, they were incredibly easy to make (a favorite culinary combination on my part). They probably took less than ten minutes to throw together.
Wizard hat roommate and Clifford roommate concurred; Clifford roommate described them as “incredible,” and the entire batch was gone by the next morning. We have yet another triumph! Lucy Maud stays winning. (We’ll ignore the salmon jello, even as I have an increasingly sick curiosity about it).
I will say, however, that this win comes with a caveat. It was my observance that these did not keep super well. They tasted superb straight out of the oven; good a few hours later; rather dry the next morning. Probably simple enough to place a damp paper towel over them in the microwave and steam them up without drying them out, but these biscuits come with a sunset provision. Much like Mr. Lynde, their hours are numbered.
So, final reviews? Well, if a zero is having to put goose grease on your heels after your first moonlit romance, and a ten is getting puffed sleeves before a fairy queen recital, I’d rate this a golden picnic with the not so poetical sandwiches included

LIFE —
this city is haunted...
being raised by a single mother isn’t always easy. in fact, it was never easy until vera’s mother began to work her way through the upper class of new york city. it was her mother’s job, after all. a last-ditch effort to keep little vera off the streets that soon afforded them a lavish lifestyle to which vera quickly grew accustomed.
still, watching men fall at her mother’s feet for the right price reason wasn't a genuine fairytale. behind the glitz of the champagne fountains, lavish jewellery adorning her mother's neck, the opera, and ballet, there was nothing but darkness when vera was forced to sit alone in her room for hours while her mother did whatever with whomever. she was lonely even when she wasn't alone.
the more vera saw her mother change from a man-swindling businesswoman to a swooning, fawning piece of arm candy to men who didn't care for her at all, the more she began to resent their lifestyle altogether. she felt guilt, at first, her emotions bold and fiery and unrelenting even when she was young, but as the years passed, and mother drifted further and further, vera turned hard and icy. she locked her heart away and swore never to rely on anyone else. least of all, a man.
vera was seventeen when her mother died, of circumstances vera still isn't clear on, and the whole world threatened to crumble around her. nothing could console her. nothing could offer her solace from the aching, desperate grief. not even the embrace of the white crocodiles, whom her mother was an associate of. nothing. so, vera fled. she packed what possessions mattered, photographs, a delicate pearl ring that belonged to her mother, and left new york city for good... or so she thought.
the irony was glaringly obvious when she moved back to the city five years after she left. everything felt different, and everything felt exactly the same. every street was tainted with memories that flashed behind her eyes whenever she dared to close them.
now, over a decade later, vera has remained behind the walls she built of ice and stone but found a way to mask those walls with florals and beautiful imagery. she clawed her way to her position at Stoneage Industries and cared little for the people she stepped on along the way. it's not that vera is heartless, though some (including she) may claim she is. she is like this because she has to be for survival. for vera knows what disappointment, loss, and pain feel like. she knows loneliness so well she swears it's etched into her bones. perhaps that is why vera feels so at home amongst the chaos, sitting on top of a pile of money brought in by robots and replicants. she envies their ability to feel nothing.
"mom, i am a rich man."
EXTRAS —
those she works with, and those who work for her, likely see her as professional and stoic. when she's at work, she is buried in it. CFO at Stoneage Industries is the perfect distraction from anything and everything else.
she likes to get what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it by any means necessary. scheming? she's a fan. when her plan doesn't succeed, and she's left without a prize, she can be found in her bathtub with a glass of scotch in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
despite her insistence to never rely on a man, she will use them and can be found doing so after hours when she's looking to blow off some steam.
aside from the ring, the only connection she still has to her mother is her association with the white crocodiles.
although she can be difficult to please and impossible to argue with, vera is also a little rascally. she likes a little mischief. in fact, sometimes she pushes people's buttons just for fun. she will swindle you out of twenty bucks she doesn't even need with a smile on her face.
there is (almost) nothing vera loves more than being underestimated. it gives her an upper hand she is more than willing to take.
there is a softness to her reserved for intimate moments that truly matter to her.
CONNECTIONS —
coming soon...

Well, they didn’t pick you for your looks, that’s sure and certain,” was Mrs. Rachel Lynde’s emphatic comment. Mrs. Rachel was one of those delightful and popular people who pride themselves on speaking their mind without fear or favor. “She’s terrible skinny and homely, Marilla. Come here, child, and let me have a look at you. Lawful heart, did any one ever see such freckles? And hair as red as carrots! Come here, child, I say.”
Anne “came there,” but not exactly as Mrs. Rachel expected. With one bound she crossed the kitchen floor and stood before Mrs. Rachel, her face scarlet with anger, her lips quivering, and her whole slender form trembling from head to foot.
“I hate you,” she cried in a choked voice, stamping her foot on the floor. “I hate you—I hate you—I hate you—” a louder stamp with each assertion of hatred. “How dare you call me skinny and ugly? How dare you say I’m freckled and redheaded? You are a rude, impolite, unfeeling woman!”
“Anne!” exclaimed Marilla in consternation.
But Anne continued to face Mrs. Rachel undauntedly, head up, eyes blazing, hands clenched, passionate indignation exhaling from her like an atmosphere.
“How dare you say such things about me?” she repeated vehemently. “How would you like to have such things said about you? How would you like to be told that you are fat and clumsy and probably hadn’t a spark of imagination in you? I don’t care if I do hurt your feelings by saying so! I hope I hurt them. You have hurt mine worse than they were ever hurt before even by Mrs. Thomas’ intoxicated husband. And I’ll NEVER forgive you for it, never, never!” Lucy Maud Montgomery quotes-Anne Of Green Gables.

Santa Ana, CA, Offers A Favorable Climate And Sporting Opportunities
I love Santa Ana, CA, because the favorable climate makes sporting opportunities possible. Santa Ana is the best place for you if you don't want freezing temperatures. The city provides warm weather throughout the year. This warm weather makes engaging in outdoor activities such as boating, sports, camping, and water sports possible. It also provides opportunities for skiing at the nearby mountain. There are several sports activities for both the participants and spectators. You can board a bus, train, or drive to catch your favorite games. This favorable weather in California's metropolis is just perfect for outdoor activities.

Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA
The Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA, offers beautiful exhibitions and programs. It's been over 112 years of the Annual Gold Medal Exhibition. Some upcoming events are Art in Content: The Arts of Venice from Byzantium to Biennale, A Night at the Movies presents Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Anne's Treasures – Painted Pots with Succulents, Celebrity speaker series; behind the scenes with the former FBI Kristen von KleinSmid, Chuck Jones Center for Creativity at Bowers Kidseum, ARCE: The Artistic Circle of St. Louis Painter with Dr. Branko van Oppen, de Ruiter, Orange Still Life with Watercolors, Lynds Thomas Distinguished Lecture Series, St. Patrick's Day Festival, Anne's Treasures – Cling Film Art, and more.
Santa Ana police department is looking to recruit more women.
The police department in Santa Ana is looking for more women to wear its badge. Their goal is to have 30% females in the police force by 2030. With this in mind, the recruitment team is tackling the barrier many female recruits often encounter, such as the physical agility test. At the national level, women comprise 14% of sworn police officers, and in Santa Ana, a lesser percentage. I like this move of the Santa Ana Police Department to recruit more female police officers because if not balance the rate of men and women police officers, a considerable percentage will be added. Read more.

“Courage of Officer Commended in Court,” Toronto Star. March 20, 1930. Page 2. ---- Housebreakers Captured by Constable Holden Both Pleaded Guilty ---- There was epic simplicity in the story told in the witness box in the police court to-day by P.C. Cecil Holden (568) the officer who, on hearing men inside the home of J. T. Parker, 96 Lowther Ave., bravely dashed upstairs, faced two strangers Edward Murphy and Michael Horne, handcuffed both and led them from the house.
The captured men hail from Montreal and judging from their etiquette in court they know a good deal about court procedure. Both pleaded guilty to the charge of housebreaking. The gallant P.C. took the stand. It was his duty, he said, simply, to look after houses under police supervision. This was one. He entered. A voice upstairs called him a something and gave him the cheering information that if he came upstairs they’d ‘plug him.’
The policeman treated this as a formal invitation and straightaway went upstairs in the dark. En route, he fired a shot at the ceiling. This was the same as if he had sent a form reply to their invitation saying: ‘I shall be pleased to be present.’
‘When I got into the bedroom they were both crouching at the bed, so I told them to get up. I handcuffed them both,’ said Holden.
Bureau drawers in several rooms had been ransacked. A piece of jewellery was found outside the house. The strangers were not armed but in their possession tools, glass cutters, chisel, flashlight, etc., were found.
That, in a nutshell, was the brave constable’s tsory of an act of daring which might have resulted in a bloody tragedy. Toronto police force appears to be developing this type.
‘Ours not to reason why, Ours but to do and die.’
‘This officer displayed outstanding courage and is to be highly commended,’ said Magistrate Browne.
Sentence was suspended until the 27th.
Liquor In Hotel Guilty of having liquor at the Belleview hotel, 704 Danforth Ave., Charles Lucas was fined $200 and costs or 3 months.
The raid was made by provincial officers.
Stole Eggs For leniency their counsel beggs.
But Mr. Browne says: ‘Eggs is eggs.’
John Murphy and Cecil Lynd were sent to jail for 60 days for stealing eggs from a delivery wagon.
‘My name is Thomas, I’ll swear to that; And I can’t help it If they call me Pat.’
So warbled the well-known Mr. Keilly who appeared on this morning’s calendar as ‘Thomas Jones.’ And a pair of pince nez served to make him still less like a proverbial ‘Pat.’ Everything was more or less disguised but the voice. If Mr. Keilly had only born himself with the dignity of an ambassador and held his peace, he might have been mistaken for one of those ‘strong, silent men’ we read about, but never meet, instead, he talked. And when Magistrate Browne in view of many previous convictions sent him down for three months. Mr. Keilly said bitterly: ‘There’s less punishment for a thief than for a poor drunk.’
Without any fuss at all, Leonard Malcolm, similarly guilty, took his three months like a man upon whom a 20-storey building had fallen - without comment.
Cause and Effect Asked why he trespassed on C.N.R. premises, Queen west, Andrew Manronk said:
‘I was looking for a train in Hamilton.’
‘Remanded one week for mental examination,’ decreed Magistrate Browne.
Wifie Scolded Him
His wife had a tyrannical temper, Vitriolic and tireless tongue; He sneeringly said ‘Our doctor Declares she has only one lung.’
Transit ‘What was John Ewan doing?’ asked his worship.
‘Begging,’ replied the police.
‘Salvation Army,’ decreed the Beak.
Good Police Work Magistrate Browne and Major Armour joined in paying tribute to morality department officers Detective Mulholland and P.C. Jackson, for their good work in capturing Stanley Nicholson, drug addict and peddler [PICTURED, BOTTOM] while he was actually engaged in the nefarious traffic. Nicholson drove a truck between Toronto and Hamilton and the morality officers had seen drug addicts board the truck at various points. Nicholson’s previous convictions under the Drug Act kept the officers’ suspicions justified. Boarding the truck they found Nicholson in possession of an envelope containing six cubes of morphine tablets. Another man named Oldfield was on the truck. He had a loaded revolver. On the day in question, the morality officers had waited for the truck from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
‘Birds had been talking,’ suggested Crown Attorney Armour.
Nicholson’s record was bad and included prison terms and heavy fines for selling and illegally having narcotics drugs in possession.
‘He’s a drug addict and peddler,’ said P.C. Jackson.
‘I’ve known him about two years. In 1928 he was caught delivering drug at a house on Gould St. frequented by addicts,’ added Detective Mulholland.
Accused’s counsel expressed the fond hope that hiss client might not be kept in jail for the rest of his life.
‘I have to think of saving his victims,’ replied Magistrate Browne.
Major Armour pointed out that it the crown had proceeded by indictment the penalty could be seven years and a whipping.’
‘Better that he should be in prison for ever than at large, sending other men to mental, moral and physical destruction,’ remarked Mr. Browne.
The prisoner was committed to the penitentiary.
Top picture caption: MAKES SMART ARREST P. C. Cecil Holden (568), attached to Markham St. Division, who arrested two alleged Montreal thugs in Toronto last night when he encountered them in a dark and unoccupied house on Lowther Ave.
[AL: Nicholson had been in Burwash Industrial Farm, Guelph Reformatory, Hamilton Jail and had a few suspended sentences on his record as well. He was 34, married, worked as a motor mechanic, and was hairless due to a bout of typhoid fever. He was convict #1652 at Kingston Penitentiary, and worked in the mason gang. He supported the October 1932 strikes and riot at Kingston Penitentiary, especially because “a lot of officers do not seem to be able to have any feelings for men at all. They give so many petty dockets. I have lost five days for talking to another man going to work - seventy men in a gang - and I was just talking to a man. If a man does not like you, he rides you.” He shared the other general complaints - censorship of letters and newspapers, lack of recreation, the prisoner haircut, etc.  He was released June 1933.]
