COMEDY ROMANCE
ATTRACTION FOR STATE Telling a rousing story of romance at a vacation camp, RKO Radio's "Having Wonderful Time" comes with Ginger Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks, jun., in the co-starring roles and with a notable group of players in support, to the State Theatre to-morrow. The film, adapted from Arthur Kober's Broadway stage success of the same name, has its principal setting at a mountain resort. Scores of working people from New York, pleasure-seeking youngsters, young and old married couples, elderly gossips, young college men working their way at the camp, are gathered in a variegated group, and against this informal background the main theme of the film is presented. It is a suspenseful romance between Miss Rogers, as a hardworking little stenographer and Douglas Fairbanks, jun.*. as an ambitious but penniless law student who has taken a job as a waiter at the camp. Encountering the common problem of thousands of young people in such a situation—the lack of money on which to marry—they try to solve it in a manner that makes for a strong dramatic element along with the sparkling comedy of the story.
