Starring Lucille Ball in the role of ¢ Hollywood movie star who at- ‘ends the prom of Winsocki Mili- tary Academy as a publicity stunt only to find herself hiding from public view for the duration of the jance, the tune-filled film is a de- lightful comedy of prep school kids. Tommy Dix from the cast of the original Broadway stage hit, plays "hu youngster who invites Miss Ball to the dance in a fan letter. He is 30 sure she won't accept he also in- vites Virginia Weidler, his best girl. He reckons without the publicity minded press agent, Willlam Gax- ton, who sees a great stunt in the invitation and accepts it over Lu- cille’s protest The complications which set in when Virginia arrives to find Lucille Ball masquerading as her will keep one in stitches.
