William Gibson, author of the
original play, made his own
adaptation for the screen. Arthur

and producer of the Broadway
play, functioned in the same

in which no quarter is either
given or asked. The fight ends,
as those familiar with the play
will remember, with a technical
victory for Anne; but the punish
ment she takes in the course of
the Donnybrook is equal to that
of the loser if it doesn’t
exceed it. Both Anne and Patty
were heavily padded beneath
tbeir costumes for the fight
scene.
Few performers have ever
come as completely trained for
their roles as Anne and Patty.
In addition to playing their roles
as Annie Sullivan and Helen Kel
ler for more than a year on
Broadway, both took intensive
courses in various institutions in
order to acquaint themselves
with the mannerisms and psy
chology of handicapped persons;
and both studied the manual
sign language, eventually mak
ing themselves expert in its use
No actress in recent years has
reaped as much enthusiastic ac
claim from critics and audiences
in successive plays as Anne
Bancroft did for her starring
roles in “Two for the Seesaw’’
and ‘ The Miracle Worker.” She
won Tony awards for her in
candescent performances in each
of these plays (both, by the w-ay,
joint products of the “Miracle
Worker" movie triumverate
author Gibson, director Penn,
producer Coe), and established
herself as a— in Arthur Penn’s
words - "young great lady of
the stage."
Ticket Policies
Re-emphasized
With the increasing number of
traffic violations many students
are finding it expensive to own
and operate a car. Contrary to
popular belief, there is no such
thing as a warning ticket. Once
a student has received a num
bered traffic violation ticket, he
is to pay the adjusted fine in
the cashiers office. Many stu
dents are not aware that these
fines must be paid in order for
traffic violators to remain in
good standing with the school.
No transcripts or other official
communications can be sent
from the registrar’s office until
a student’s account is cleared.
Also, no student will be allow
ed to register for the next term
until all such fines against him
are paid.
