'Wingless Vic Sails Stormy Sea Of Prejudice, Ha Bv RUTH JORDAN “The Wingless Victory,” to be presented Friday, Saturday, and the following Wednesday in the University Guild hall, is named for Nathaniel McQueston’s sailing shin. The Salem captain comes heme from the Celebes in the SoifSb Seas with a royal Malaya bride, Oparre. The finger of fate is against her, however, and the small town will not receive her. Ultimately, the force of opin ion of bigoted plotting comes be tween the eastern princess and her western husband. The con flict builds to a thrilling climax through which the strength of the love between Nathaniel and Oparre is tested. Adventure Lover Nathaniel McQueston, played by Dick Turner, is a lover of ad venture. But, tired of the life of a sailor, he comes home to Salem with a newly-acquired fortune and a bride. Instead of finding the peace and quiet that he expects, he finds a town unwilling to accept his strange bride. A romantic character, Nathaniel has always enjoyed the spice of adventure on the seas. Oparre, played by Dorothy Durkee, is the proud daughter of a sultan. She has every attri bute of a civilized woman. She reads and speaks English beau tifully. Mrs. McQueston, played by Jean Person, does not welcome Nathaniel’s wife. She is a great woman, cool and dominating, and because of her domination, she is the head of her house. She takes in Nathaniel and his bride, but only because there is so little money that it is neces sary. Phineas and Mrs. McQues ton plot th.e exile of Oparre. The Other Woman Faith, played by Patricia How ard, is the other woman, but she lacks all characteristics of jealousy. She is gracious and cau tious, lends sympathy to Oparre, and knows how to mind her own business. Ruel, played by Chuck Boice, is the only sincere friend that Oparre has. He is a charming good-for-nothing, and coming from a wealthy family, is plea sure loving. The loss of wealth by the family does not mar his personality. The Rev. Phineas McQueston, played by Adrian Martin, is one of the town’s leaders. Although he lacks the coolness and dom inating qualities of his mother-, he is one of the ringleaders who plot against Oparre. Venture, wife of Phineas, played by Pat Lawson, is a typ ical wife of the tight-lipped Sa lem days. Obedient, acquiescent, good-natured, she is willing to accept the fact that men are superior to women. Happy Penny, played by Alan Foster, is jovial, gay, and sympa thetic.
