This Claudia" is a highly polished

Miss Franken, in case any one has

out of her very popular fiction

well and favorably known to radio
audiences.
In this section of her saga Claudia

pretty, witty, curious and capricious
on the surface, but inWardly tor
mented by a mother fixation. Her
marriage is as pleasant a piece of
nonsense outwardly as any one
could want, but there are intima-
tions of solemn and serious things
that are not apparent to the merely
casual eye. Miss Franken is too
clever a dramatist ever to be dreary
about them, but she does utilize
them to provide excellent and we'll
managed contrast in the moods of
her play.
She is particularly blessed In hav-
ing what certainly must be Amer
tca's finest young actress in the
Claudia role. Claudia covers a great
deal Of ground between her in
etantly apparent wit, frankness, Gu
riosity and her not so apparent in
