Brown BEFORE the arrival of Prince George of England in Hollywood, everybody liked June Collyer. She was sweet and pretty, good to her parents kind to animals and regally lovely on the screen. Which ;„, Newsreei made her merely another nice girl. Before the departure of the Prince most of our ultra dazzling dames were jealous of her. Which makes her an — Elk. Hollywood took a second look at June and discovered that she was not only an exquisite but a personality as svelte and smart as her figure. Not that June hadn't been all these things before the coming of His Highness, but Hollywood is a sleepy hollow that has to be whammed with headlines to realize its own charm. Not since Lindbergh tea'd with Marion Davies has a gentleman's preference caused so fnuch whoopee in local quarters.

She wore a little red hat pushed down close over her face and a sports suit to match. All curled up on her dressingroom lounge with her feet tucked under she looked as beautiful as — well, as you would expect the girl to look who had been the choice of all the belles of Hollywood. Before I got a chance to get in a little grilling myself a newspaper lady all aquiver with excitement dropped in and wanted to know everything. What had June worn to the dinner.? What had Mary Pickford worn.? What was the Prince like.? What had he said to June.? What had she said to him.? June lit a cigarette and tried to be polite. But somehow I don't think she had her heart in the answers. So the newspaper lady left a little defeated.
