Missing Scenes

From Television to VHS Cassette (USA)

I must take time out to tell you that when Anne of Green Gables first aired on PBS in the United States, I taped it. When the film came out on VHS cassette, I bought it. In the transfer, a few scenes were added, all of which are in the script on this website. The scenes added mostly concern Miss Josephine Barry, but there are others:

1.	The scene after Anne returns home from saving Minnie May and before Anne goes to see Diana for the first time in a long time. In the scene, Anne says good morning to Marilla who tells her that Mrs. Barry had stopped by to see her.
2.	The short "scene" after Anne is granted permission to go to the ball and before Matthew goes to the Lawson's Mercantile to buy Anne a dress. The scene is without script and shows Matthew walking up to the store and looking at the dress in the window.
3.	The scene after Anne apologized to Miss Barry and before Anne is in the schoolhouse taking an exam. In the scene, Diana reads a letter to Anne that she received from Aunt Josephine.
4.	The two scenes after Anne completes the Queens exam and before Anne and Diana say goodbye to Aunt Josephine. In these scenes, the girls are taken to see a matinee and when they return to Aunt Jo's they discuss it.
5.	The scene where Anne's skiff springs a leak and she must climb under the bridge. In the television version, we do not see her paddle for the bridge; the scene ends when she suddenly sits up.
6.	The two scenes after Anne leaves for school and before Anne is in class. In these scenes, Anne talks with Miss Barry and Anne gets a room in the boarding house.
7.	The scene after Anne talks with Josie, Ruby, and Jane on campus and before Anne goes to deliver a note to Gilbert. In this scene, Anne and Miss Barry discuss school and Anne's "small circle of friends."

There was also one minuscule scene that was in the television airing that is not on the VHS cassettes. After Anne and Diana say good bye to Aunt Jo and before Anne and the girls play the Lily Maid, there is a scenic scene of the church and bells are gonging.

UK Version

Poor Brits! Anne fans in the United Kingdom were gyped--BIG time. Up until recently, they've only had access to a totally butchered version of the movie. You see, the distributers wanted it all to fit on one VHS tape. As a result, the movie suffered, as did many fans. Below is a list of scenes that were deleted. Fortunately for our British kindred spirits, the full length version* is now available at a reasonable price.

1.	The scene when Anne is brought to Fairview Orphanage and registers with Mrs. Cadbury.
2.	The scene when Anne first tries to pray.
3.	The scene when Marilla is making dresses for Anne and Anne thinks they are too plain.
4.	The subsequent scene when Anne fabricates the story about the amethyst brooch.
5.	HORROR!! The scene when Anne first meets Gilbert at the three-legged race.
6.	The scene where Anne and Diana are walking to school and Charlie Sloane, et. al. throw sticks and stones at them; and the subsequent scene with Mr. Sadler.
7.	HORROR!! The scene when Anne is forced to sit next to Gilbert.
8.	Mr. Phillip's announcement that he's leaving and the part, thus including the ridgepole scene.
9.	The subsequent scene when Anne and Diana take the long way home through the "haunted" woods.
10.	ALL scenes involving Aunt Josephine: jumping on her while she's sleeping, Anne's apology to her, staying at her house in Charlottetown, etc.
* The full version of Anne of Green Gables is missing one little scene, which is upsetting to the people who know about it. The scene is when Gilbert rescues Anne from under the bridge. He asks her, "What in heck are you doing?" and she responds, "Fishing for lake trout." Then Gil helps her into the boat. What is missing is Gil saying, "For lake trout?" and Anne nodding in response.

Australian Version

    Althoughgh their original video version wasn't nearly as butchered as the old UK version, they did lose a number of scenes in trying to condense it to fit on one VHS tape. Aussies searching for a full version on tape should visit their local ABC store. Be sure to pick up the tape with the green cover.

1.	The scene in the beginning at the Lynde house, when Mrs. Lynde sees Matthew driving by.
2.	The subsequent scene when Mrs. Lynde visits Marilla to find out what's going on.
3.	Much of the buggy ride to Green Gables is cut: After Anne says that she and Matthew will get along just fine, it cuts to other portions of their dialog, until they pull up and Anne walks up to the house saying, "I'm overwhelmed." The classic scenes when she names "The White Way of Delight" and "The Lake of Shining Waters," are among those cut!
4.	The scene at Barry's pond when Anne and Diana talk about the race and Gilbert, and when Josie falls into the lake.
5.	The shots of Anne and Diana roaming the fields together, as well as the scene when Gilbert watches them on the bridge.
6.	The scene outside the school when Miss Stacey asks the students to come in to the school.
7.	The scenes when Miss Stacey takes the class outside for a day trip (excercise, looking at plants, etc).
8.	The scene when Anne reads "Ben-Hur" during geometry class, and the subsequent scene when she has to stay after class.
9.	The next scene when Anne walk home with Miss Stacey. (This makes it interesting when Miss Stacey in a later, uncut scene says, "You always used to say, 'Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it.'" When? Haha.
10.	The shots of Anne and Diana roaming by the lighthouse.
11.	The scene on Barry's pond when Diana reads a letter from Aunt Jo.
12.	The scene at Aunt Jo's house (after the soprano scene) when they talk about noses and alabaster brows.
13.	The scene at Lawson's Mercantile when Alice and Anne talk about the upcoming White Sands concert. (This makes it interesting in the next scene when Gil talks about Alice. Who?)

MAP OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

ANNE'S TOUR OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

"Anne's Land," as it is known, is the central North Shore region of Prince Edward Island otherwise called Cavendish. It is an area filled to the brim with places to go and things to do for fans of Anne Shirley, the lovable character created by Victorian author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is also a region of great contrast, where quiet natural wonders co-exist with amusement parks and man-made tourist attractions.

In the center of the region is located the Prince Edward Island National Park, where miles of white sand beaches present a coastline of delicate beauty. The Park features strips of sand and breathtaking dunes, and offers extensive interpretive programs to explain to visitors the natural, cultural and historic landmarks found within the boundaries of the Park. Cavendish Beach is one the most popular beaches on the Island, with its dunes providing protection for ponds and a diversity of flora and fauna. The boardwalk leading to the beach is a good place to stop and watch for birds in the ponds.

Of course, one of the park's famous landmarks is the Green Gables Golf Course, the center of which stands the Green Gables House (pictured at left). This delightful cottage, which attracts thousands of visitors each year, is known as the home of the fictional Anne, as it was the house that inspired Montgomery to write about the red-haired orphan. Located near the Haunted Woods and Lovers Lane, the modest farm home is part of a site that also includes an extensive program to interpret Montgomery's time and the lifestyle of rural Prince Edward Island in the early 1900s. Near the Green Gables House is the Green Gables Post Office, an authentic restored site; and the cemetery where Lucy Maud Montgomery lies. Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Homestead is the home where the author resided. Relatives of the author, John and Jennie Macneill, still reside at the home and offer guided tours of the grounds and the opportunity to purchase books from their bookstore. The Avonlea Village is another must-see attraction for Anne fans. The village provides an authentic period "look and feel," and has been described as the Cavendish that visitors are looking for when they travel to the area. Avonlea Village offers turn-of-the-century children's games, horse and wagon rides, family picnics and frequent special events. The staff, in period dress, are open and friendly, while "Anne" and "Diana," in character, mingle with all the guests. Avonlea showcases the work of island musicians, artists and craftspeople.

Elsewhere in Anne's Land, visitors will find the landscape so lovingly described by Montgomery: rolling farm fields stretching down to the shore, red cliffs and tiny villages. Some of the most scenic areas of the Island are found along the Blue Heron Drive, and a Land Trust has been formed in the name of Montgomery to protect some of the pastoral vistas so typical of Prince Edward Island. New London is the birthplace of Lucy Maud Montgomery. The home where she was born is now a historic site and you can visit her birthplace and see her room and wedding dress. The Lucy Maud Montgomery Heritage Museum in Park Corner offers many artifacts from Montgomery's time spent at this home. Here also, create your own "Anne" memorabilia with Ribbons and Roses through The Anne of Green Gables "Treasury Experience." The Anne of Green Gables Museum (pictured at right), in the house that Lucy Maud Montgomery called "Silver Bush," right by the "Lake of Shining Waters." The nearby Heritage Antiques and Christmas Shoppe offers plenty of Anne memorabilia. Allow time for tea and shopping while on this property at the Shining Waters Craft Shop and Tea Room, which also offers special wedding packages arranged in the parlour where L.M. Montgomery herself was married. Here also, you can enjoy Matthew's Carriage ride around the Silver Bush property, down by the Lake of Shining Waters or overlooking pastoral farmland on the way to a beach. At Gateway Village in Borden-Carleton, you can fulfill a lifelong urge to have long red braids, as Cavendish Figurines invites you to have your photo taken while dressed as Anne. In Lower Bedeque, visit the Lower Bedeque Schoolhouse where L.M. Montgomery taught school. Look around at the old furnishings, books and written materials. And in Bideford, the local community has restored the parsonage and opened it as the Bideford Parsonage Museum. Montgomery lived there in the late 1800s and the site is also a fund of information on the lifestyle of the era and the Island's shipbuilding industry. Finally, the community of Kensington has preserved its historic past, with most of the focus on the town's Train Station , where shopping, historic displays and a weekly farmers market are part of the attraction.

For families looking for action, Anne's Land has it in abundance! Water slides, adventure parks, deep-sea fishing and kayaking will keep visitors of all ages occupied! Golf is another major attraction for adults. For feasting, visitors cannot leave without trying the world-famous PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND oysters and potatoes. The annual Potato Blossom Festival in July features a huge parade, car rally, and plenty of tasty potato delicacies such as potato scones! For seafood lovers, Prince Edward Island offers perhaps the world's best oysters, scallops, mussels and lobsters!

If your schedule permits, consider visiting Prince Edward Island in late August or early September, when the Annual Lucy Maud Montgomery Festival occurs. Daily performances by "Anne" and "Diana," traditional music, readings from Montgomery's work (including Anne of Green Gables), period games , ice cream socials, barn dances, fish-tasting feasts, and a memorial service for Montgomery are only a few of the events during the Festival. As for accommodations, consider staying at the Dalvay by the Sea Hotel, now famous as the "White Sands Hotel" featured in the Sullivan Entertainment production (where Anne delivers a fine performance of "The Highwayman"). Today, the Dalvay retains its reverence for a quieter time. There are no telephones, no radios and no televisions in any of the guest rooms. Visitors are encouraged to read by one of the oversized fireplaces, or play the piano, or go for a walk by the beach. Make reservations early, as the Dalvay is a small hotel offering only 26 rooms plus four cottages. And it's only open between the months of June and September!

Finally, a short drive from Cavendish is Prince Edward Island's capital city, Charlottetown. The delightful city features the annual "Anne of Green Gables" musical at the Confederation Centre of the Arts (pictured at left), which has been now running for nearly thirty years. This musical is a must-see during your Prince Edward Island vacation... Have a buffet at the Centre before the show, and be prepared for a good cry! There are also a number craft and gift shops in Charlottetown, where you can find the perfect Anne memorabilia. The Anne of Green Gables Store probably has a complete selection of Anne-related goods and right next door you will find the Anne Chocolates store, and next door to that you can join "Anne and her friends" for tea, as they present a "concert to raise funds for the African mission."

Finally, many "Anne of Green Gables" movie fans often inquire about the locations used in Sullivan Entertainment's award-winning miniseries. Less than 5% of the footage was shot in Prince Edward Island. Most of the scenes were filmed in Ontario, at the Westfield Heritage Center. The sets built were identical replicas of buildings typical to the island at the time. Only the scenic vistas of the ocean along with the beaches and red roads were filmed on the island. The directors chose to film most of the footage outside of Prince Edward Island. because it was less expensive to shoot close to Toronto and many of the existing buildings on the island did not have the proper look. Unfortunately, all sets have been were dismantled so it is not possible to visit them. For example, the bridge where Anne and Gilbert kissed is on the property of Emmanuel International, which is located at 3967 Stouffville Road, Stouffville in southern Ontario. Although Prince Edward Island advertises a carriage ride an orchard, "The White Way of Delight" in the Sullivan film was actually an orchard just outside of Toronto. The Green Gables house from the Anne films was actually two distinct buildings: one building was used as an exterior shot from a great distance to include the rolling hills and countryside. Close-up shots were of Butternut Farm located just outside Toronto.

Prince Edward Island: History and Politics

The Micmac lived on the island before Europeans arrived. Jacques Cartier wrote enthusiastically about it after landing there in 1534. Samuel de Champlain named it Île St. Jean in 1603, and it was known by that name (or Isle St. John) until 1799, when it was renamed after Edward, duke of Kent, who later fathered Queen Victoria . The first permanent settlement was made by the French in 1719 near present-day Charlottetown, but the British gained control under the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Many French settlers were deported by the British (see Acadia ), but others remained; their descendants still live here. In 1803, Lord Selkirk's first colony of impoverished Scots settled here; persons of Scottish extraction now constitute about one third of the inhabitants.

    In 1763, Prince Edward Island was annexed to Nova Scotia, but it became a separate colony in 1769. Responsible, or cabinet, government was granted in 1851. In 1864 delegates from the Maritime Provinces met in Charlottetown to discuss union—the first step toward forming the Canadian confederation, which was achieved in 1867. However, Prince Edward Island did not join the confederation until 1873. Throughout the 20th cent. the island's economy was relatively stable, although lack of energy and technology caused it to lag behind the rest of Canada.

    The Conservatives and the Liberals are the only parties to have formed provincial governments since 1873. In 1993, Catherine Callbeck, who led the Liberals to a sweep, became Canada's first female provincial premier. Conservative Patrick Binns became premier in 1996 and was returned to office in 2000 and 2003. The province sends 4 senators and 4 representatives to the national parliament.

L. M.  Montgomery

 (Lucy Maud Montgomery), 1874-1942, Canadian novelist, b. Prince Edward Island. Her first novel, Anne of Green Gables (1908), met with immediate success and has been widely translated. Anne Shirley, the novel's heroine, is a spirited, witty young girl with red hair and a wild imagination. The novel's sequels include Anne of Avonlea (1909), Chronicles of Avonlea (1912), Anne of the Island (1915), and Anne's House of Dreams (1917).
