THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

"Sure 'tis a foine drama we be afther seein." Such is the effect of Ralph Cullinan's comedy, "Loggerheads," playing at the Hollis Street Theatre. However little Irish blood you have in your veins you will talk with a rich brogue for several hours after listening to this Hibernian play.

"Loggerheads" is the first production I have seen in months which adheres to the three unities. There is one scene for

the whole play, which depicts the happenings of only one evenings. But best of all the play has that dramatic rarity, unity of action.

The plot concerns the troubles of the Halpin family. Coiny Halpin has sworn to kill Christie Barrett because Barrett's father kill his brother years ago; Ellen Halpin, his sister-in-law, is afraid her daughter wants to marry Christie--afraid not because of factional hate, but because Christie was her own childhood sweetheart. After many complications provided by Padna Collins, an Irish miser everything ends happily. Ellen marries Christie, Norah explains that she had long ago decided to become a nun, Corny Shakes hands with Christie, and the whole lot sails for Australia leaving Padna behind alone.

The cast gives an even performance, with true Hibernian characterization. The unities with a brogue, it is a great combination
