PAGE SEVEN Dorothy McGuire and Robert Taylor In "Claudia" On Craterian Bill MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1943 V IA CLAIRE HAS ROLE IN BRIGHT Reginald Gardiner and Olga Baclanova Appear , in - Support of Stars. Woven around the talents of one ol the screen's most unusual and unpredictable newcomers, Dorothy McGuire, the equally unusual film "Claudia" opens today at the Craterian for a three-day run, backed by flat tering advance notices and pop ular acclaim. An unconventional plot takes lovely Miss McGuire through the flighty ten age into matur ity with a fast moving, clever sucession of sequences which result in good solid entertain ment. Cleverly handling the role of "Claudia's" husband, Robert Taylor fits well into the picture's story as the ever-baffled mate of the famously er ratic Claudia. Based on the best selling book of the same name and the legiti mate stage show which quickly followed its publication, the story of "Claudia" is immensely added to by the effective, taU ented acting of its exce'lent supporting cast. Ina Claire takes the part of Claudia's patient I mother, while subordinate parts ' are' exper'ly handled by Regi. nald Gardiner and Olga Bacla nova.
