icebound

adj.
Locked in or covered over by ice.

Icebound (1923), a play by Owen Davis. [Sam H. Harris Theatre, 170 perf.; Pulitzer Prize.] At the old homestead near Veazie, Maine, the Jordan clan greedily and impatiently awaits Mother Jordan's death like, as she told Judge Bradford (Willard Robertson), “carrion crows around a sick cow in a pasture, watchin' till the last twitch of life is out of me before they pounce.” When she dies, her family is furious to learn that she has left her entire estate to a distant cousin, Jane Crosby (Phyllis Povah), who with the help of a loyal hired hand, Hannah (Edna May Oliver), faithfully tended Mother Jordan during her last days. The sole exception to the family chagrin is the black sheep son, Ben (Robert Ames). With time Jane reforms Ben, falls in love with him, and agrees to marry him. Hannah sends them on their way, happy that marriage will further assure Ben's reformation. In Theatre, Arthur Hornblow wrote, “The breath of life sweeps through this pack of New England jackals and exposes them roundly, honestly and effectively.” The Sam H. Harris production marked a conscious move away from claptrap melodrama for Davis.
