It is that simple to explain, and like everything else worthwhile it requires thought and planning— but mostly thought. Her role of Deborah in "People Will Talk," in Jeanne's own language, is that of a strange, direct type of girl who has traveled extensively and is sophisticated in the true sense of the word. This is a far cry from the little farm girl Jeanne played in "Home In Indiana," but she feels the comparison shows exactly what can be done by way of acquiring glamour. "After all," she said, "I was just about as naive and unsophisticated as that bucolic lass in my first picture when I played her, but now I would like to believe I have something of Deborah in me." In order to bridge this span between the barnyard and the drawing room, Jeanne devised her own modus operandi, which consists of six major points. The first of these is: Find a philosophy or outlook on life that works jor you so that you can keep at peace with yourself and others. As an example, she cited the gimmick which has been used by Marlene Dietrich. Marlene's basic rule is that she never makes plans in advance and is, therefore, never disappointed. Marlene boiled down her system for remaining young and glamourous recently when she said that her secret was, "Soap and water and an unworried mind." But the greatest of these is the unworried mind, as she explained later. She seldom, if ever, becomes ruffled any more because she has no elaborate plans that can go awry. Jeanne's second point is: Find a basic interest, something you like well enough to throw your whole self into it, at times, in order to escape from lesser reality. This may sound complicated at first glance, but it is really simple. It is the same thing psychologists have been preaching for years. Call it a hobby or an avocation or whatever you will, but make it something from which you get an absorbing pleasure. As Point No. 3, Jeanne voiced a simple admonition: Get away from routine now and then. "What I mean by this point," Jeanne elaborated, "is that one of the best ways of making yourself interesting to others, and thereby more glamourous, is to expand your own interests. If you go on day by day doing the same things and thinking the same thoughts, you will never attract new friends." According to Jeanne, a new friend is like having a new adventure, but the person in a rut is slow to attract a stranger who might lead her into new fields. Her experience has taught her that if you are interested in others, they will become interested in you. Jeanne is completely convinced that glamour has positively nothing to do with age, except that the younger you are the harder it is to have it. "Glamour," she said, "has a lot to do with true vitality, and I don't mean being always vivacious and knocking yourself out to attract attention. I'm talking about a certain spark which is evident when a person is quiet-mannered and relaxed. This, of course, does not include bored people, because they are never glamourous. You really have to be interested in life in order to be glamourous." Jeanne could write a book about her Point No. 4, because she has used it probably more than any of the others in gaining maturity. It is: Watch and read about successful people, because they always have a formula for living which may also help you. "A person should constantly study others, according to my way of thinking," she said, "and this includes one's friends as well as the famous people we read about in books. This is a good thing particularly because it teaches one not to see everything from his own angle. It is sometimes a shock to learn that everyone doesn't do things your way, and the shock makes you climb out of a rut." Because of her belief that we can all learn from each other if we would only keep our eyes open, Jeanne believes that this is one advantage that youth has over older people in the matter of acquiring what she terms true glamour. A young person, being always on the lookout for something new, probably can learn faster if he gives himself the right direction. This has certainly been true in Jeanne's case, but she insisted again that in spite of this, age has a towering advantage in acquiring glamour because of a deeper sense of values.
