In more detail...
Anne Shirley is nervously preparing for an important concert performance with the help of her friend Diana Barry in the cozy east gable of Green Gables. Despite feeling insecure when comparing her simple organdy dress to other fancier garments, Anne is reassured by Diana that she looks lovely. At the concert hosted by the White Sands Hotel to aid the Charlottetown hospital, Anne experiences severe stage fright upon facing a grand and unfamiliar audience. However, upon spotting Gilbert Blythe in the crowd, she finds the strength and determination to deliver a moving recitation. Her performance is met with applause and an encore, and she receives compliments from the audience, including a professional elocutionist and a millionaire's wife. The hotel event ends with festivities and Anne, holding strong to her sense of self-worth and identity, rejects material envy, reveling in the simple joys that life has offered her.
