Claudia

 

Claudia (1941), a comedy by Rose Franken. [ Booth Theatre, 453 perf.] David Naughton (Donald Cook) is a successful architect living on a colonial farm he has lovingly restored. He is more or less happily married, although he is not certain about this matter since his beautiful wife Claudia (Dorothy McGuire) has never quite grown up. She has a mother‐fixation and never seems entirely sure of her sexual appeal. When she impetuously sells the farm to an opera singer and has a brief flirtation with a handsome young Englishman, David is exasperated. Then Claudia learns that her mother (Frances Starr) is dying and she seems suddenly to mature. “Yes, it's like a miracle,” her mother remarks. “It's just as if she were the mother and I were the child.” Claudia agrees to return the opera singer's check and to settle down to being a wife. Franken's first play since Another Language nine years earlier (and her only other success), the John Golden–produced comedy was welcomed by Richard Watts Jr. of the Herald Tribune as “the best new American play of the season.” Claudia was especially popular with women audiences.
