!'Claudia Stars Child
Bride Vs. British Wolf
Sprinkled liberally with a child
bride (mentally), a Russian op
era singer, a very British play
wright and wolf, and a patient
husband, "Claudia," Players sec
ond presentation of the semester,
is scheduled to appear In Schwab
Auditorium June 9 and 10.
"The theme of this play is the
problem of adjustment to life,
which Claudia undergoes. One
factor in making "Claudia" a
popular play, is that many people
have had similar experiences,"
L. E. Tucker, director of the
show said yesterday.
"In the first act, Claudia is a
happy-go-lucky kid tied to her
mother's apron strings. Her mar
riage, and expected -baby require
a change from her over-depend
ence upon her mother. Later,, in
the 'climax of the play, she must
resign herself to the loss of her
mother. This adjustment, and her
subsequent maturity, .provide a
great deal of dramatic-.interest,"
Tucker added.
Rounding out the line-up of
Players. already working on the
show, Bill Morton as assistant di
rector, and Violet Grubin .as
prompter, were announced tod.y.
