Banks Hailed Superior In 'Plough And Stars9
• »'»' •>»nun»-
By Joan Kidwell There is a farm legend which
goes "If you draw a circle of chalk on a barn floor, swing a hen around in the air and then set her down in he circle, she won't be able to cross the line. She is a prisoner in the chalk circle."
How aptly such a tale describes ihe situation in Sean 0'Casey's i lay. "The Plough and the Stars,"
•.ted last Thursday. Friday. and Saturday by the Longwood Players.
This drama is the portrayal of people swung around in the circle of environment and bound by noth- irt? more tangible than a chalk line — the tenement buildings In which they live and their self-im-
igr.orance of any fuller life than that involved in alternating spiteful fighting among themselves.

Ragsdale gave an excellent Inter- pretation of the bartender—not so much through speech as through actions and expressions. Bobbie Caples as Rosie Redmond was ap- pealing but not exactly the prosti- tute type.
The one character not bound by the circle is the consumptive child. Mollser, played by Elaine Lohr. Though tuberculosis is the result of tenement conditions, Elaine raised Mollser beyond the circle and the people therein. When she dies, it is by the hand of God and not by the war.
Patsy Ann Scott, as Mrs. Gogan. participates in the war when it suits her pleasure. She is thrilled with the thought of seeing men "hangin' at th' end of a rope . . . eyes bulgin' an' . . . legs twistin' and Jerkin'." Patsy Ann was con- vincing and comical in the fight scene with Mrs. Burgess.

In 1905 Miss Applebee became leal education instructor for
IBryn Mawr College, holding this po ; sition for 25 years. During this time, eight teams organized clubs around the Philadelphia area.
The first team from the United States went to E n g 1 a n d in 1920 where they saw a real game of hockey for the first time.
Hockey Association Founded The next year, England was in-
vited to play in this country. At a banquet held during this visit, the United States Field Hockey As- sociation was founded.
Two years later Miss Applebee organized the first hockey camp in this country. Twenty-five campers were enrolled for each of the periods. Today she directs this same hockey camp which draws an average enrollment of 2f>0 school, college, and club players.
Miss Applebee was recognized early by the USFHA when honorary membership in this organization was given to her. She is also honor- ary editor of the Eagle, the official publication of the USFHA. On the 59th anniversary of her introduc- tion of hockey to this country, she was again honored.
