Dorothy McGuire and Robert Taylor In "Claudia" On Craterian Bill

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.
