Story of "Claudia" Grows to Industry; To Be Vining Play Ashland "Claudia," . one of the four plays which the Vining Repertory theater will present during the spring season to open April 14, is said to be more than a play its an Industry. When Rose Franken first sat down to write a short story about a sensitive but somewhat immature young newlywed wife, she probably had no idea what would develop from the story The saga of Claudia Naughton and her husband David blos somed into 24 short stories, three novels, a movie, a radio serial and ,of course, the play which the Vining company is now rehearsing. When the first story was pub lished in Red Book magazine, the reaction was overwhelming. The editors of the magazine and Miss Franken were deluged with letters ,and woke up to the fact that they had stumbled on to "something big." The editors asked Miss Franken if she thought she could write another couple of stories or so about the same characters. But two or three sequels weren't enough. Every time one was published, the readers clamored for more so that Miss Franken was follow ing Claudia and David's married life on their farm at the rate of about sixteen stories a year. The success of the stories in duced a book publishing firm to ask Miss Franken to make them into a novel. This was so popu lar that a second was published the following year. Though plays are usually made out of unusual and e x t r a-ordinary characters and situation, Broad way Producer John Golden be lieved a fine play could be made out of the typical story of the average American couple. Miss Franken turned out a stage "Claudia" in three days. When the play became a great hit in New York, "Claudia" was made into a radio serial and the motion picture rights were bought by David Selznik for $187,000. "Claudia" has gone through every possible trans formation of a fictional char acter, including television. The Vining's "CWudia" is Elmarie Wendel, young actress who starred in "Mary, Queen of Scots'' at the University of Ore gon last summer and a member of Montana's Virginia City play ers. The play is directed by Philip Hanson. "Death of a Salesman," "Ar senic and Old Lace," and "The Importance of Being Earnest" fill out the April 14-May-10 schedule of modern drama.
