That play must have been "The Fifth Column," a play about the Spanish
Civil War that originally appeared in Hemingway's first "complete
collection" of stories -- published in 1939, I think.

I thought it was interesting and in line with the echt-sophisticated
image people at Ursinus said he burnished. But the sneering tone put
me off. The date confused me, though: you listed it as 10/24/02. I
am guessing that was a typo, as far as the year goes.
