MODERN SOCIAL PROBLEM AIRED IN "HAVING WONDERFUL TIME"
Should a girl with a good job marry the man she loves when he is unable to support her.
This modirn social problem is faced by Ginger Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., m RKO Radio's "Having Wonderful Time," and entails complications during its unfolding.
With some of the action taking place at a picturesque summer vacation camp for city working people, the comedy-drama presents Miss Rogers as a stenographer who is upset and nervous after a year of battling with a nagging family and a would-be fiance. She meets Fairbanks, who is studying to be a lawyer, but working at the camp as a waiter.
These two are immediately drawn to each other, but the natural consummation of their whirlwind romance is handicapped by the law student having no prospect of a position, and the pretty secretary disliking long engagements. Over sensitive because of this unhappy circumstance, the young man becomes intensely jealous when other camp eligibles with good jobs in the city i,how attention to the girl. This leads to a series of misunderstandings that nearly steer the turbulent romance on the rocks. How the young lovers solve their economic and romant'c problem is said to bring thif? suspeince laden comedy-drama to r.n ultra-modern and exciting finish.
Other important players in the include Peggy Conklin, Lucille Ball, Richard Skelton, Lee Bowman, Ann Miller and Donald Meek.
Alfred Santell directed "Having Wonderful Time," the screen version of the Broadway hit, with Pandro S.
Berman as producer
