Claudia, is that of closer understanding between the United states and France. It is j not, however, a war play in any j sense. The young people first meet in a ! hospitable French village through which Maurice, in the American uni form, passes. The young and ener getic Yankee remains In France to contribute his peculiarly American . ' punch" to French industry.
