Oparre. The play is a vigorous
dramatic tragedy of early New
England. It was written in the
same dramatic tragedy of early
New England. It is written in
the same form as Winterset which
was awarded the Critics Prize in
1936.
Action in 1800.
The scene of The Wingless Vic
tory is laid in Salem about the
year 1800. The central figures are
Nathaniel McQuestion and Oparre,
his wife. NaUianiel is a sea cap
tarn who left Salem penniless
but returns a wealthy man after
an absence of seven years. With
one exception the pleasure of the
various puritanical members of
Nathaniel's family is badly mar
red when they discover he has
brought a Malay wife and their
two children back with him.
Deeply as he loves Oparre, the
Malay princess who has shared
both danger and misfortune with
him, Nathaniel cannot help but
feel the invisible finger of scorn
pointed at him by the towns
people. For Oparre's sake he
lends them money to consolidate
his social position but they find
this a weapon to be used to their
own advantage
The struggle of this man's soul
when he is faced with a sudden
choice between dishonor and the
loss of his property or the loss
of his dark-skinned family, and
the magnificent self-sacrifice of
the woman who has given up her
native country and risked all she
has for love, have never been
more clearly presented. This story
of Nathaniel and Oparre Is one
few can forget.
The play presents a problemjto make people of all races un
notr of color but of race and be- dstand and tolerate ne an
liefs. The aim of the play is 'other.
Have a "Coke" Welcome back
. . . or giving a returned soldier a taste of home
There's an easy way to make a soldier on furlough feel right at
home. It's to offer him refreshing Coca-Cola. Have m "Coke" is
always the hospitable thing to say. In many lands overseas, as io
your own living room, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,
has become a happy symbol of hospitality, at home as every
where else.
