The Best-laid Plans
HE Marions, of an excellent address ' in Oriental Bay, Wellington, do not work, They have Leisure for Living. This pleasant philosophy worked comfortably enough in the days of hansom cabs, the period of Nelle Scanlan’s novel which has been adapted for radio by Oliver Gillespie. However, the search for high success through the ideas for inventions of the two Marion boys, and the need to marry off Rose, the beauty of the
family, to a title sends the family to London, accompanied by Mrs. Marion, Birdie (the homely but energetic sister), and dapper, self-assured Uncle Mortimer, whose dreams are. getting bigger all the time. How a short, sharp dose of reality brings about a revolution in their lives listeners will hear when Leisure for Living is broadcast by the ZB network at 9.35 p.m. on Sunday, October 3. Mrs. Marion is played by Davina Whitehouse; Mortimer by Selwyn Toogood; Birdie by Paddy Turner; and Willie and Hugh by Allan Rowe and Kenneth Firth.
