A Dream Purees
Julanne Johnston likes jazz and parties as much as any ordinary girl. But she's a dreamy, imaginative lass at heart, living always inadream world of her own.
She is assuredly " such stuff as dreams are made on," this fairy princess of The Thief of Bagdad, who had no name in that delightful movie save that of " The Princess," but who is known in this work-aday world as Julanne Johnston. For the same attractive elusiveness that you must have noticed on the screen is the most dominant feature of an intriguing personality off it. Julanne is girlish, she is lovely, she has quaint tricks of gesture and turns of speech, she is friendly and quite .human, and yet — she is elusive. You feel that she wanders, always and always in a dream world of her own, where she really belongs, and that you in common with other ordinary mortals are condemned to stay forever outside its gates.
Something of this I told .her mother as we watched the clever fingers of Dorothy, Dick shaping and reshaping little rolls of clay into a bust of Julanne, who, draped in a rose-pink scarf, with a huge pearl head-dress framing. her charming features sat remote and silent on the model's throne patently lost in some dream of her own.
''V/es," Mrs. Johnston agreed "Julanne is a dreamy, imaginative girl, has always been. In fact, when she was a kiddie, she invented a little 'dream sister, used to play with her always, and even insisted on having a place at. table set for her next herself. She is artistic too, loves drawing, and music, and of course dancing, and that, I think, accounts for some of the dreaminess.
The graceful girl on the throne not so very far away gave no sign of having heard us discussing her so barefacedly, so I asked for further details.

Julanne is every inch a Dream Princess as these three pictures plainly
prove.
" Julanne," continued her mother, " is a dancer really. She studied at Denishawn, because Carol Dempster, her chum, had become a dancer, and Julanne felt she too could best express herself that way. She was fifteen when she obtained her first engagement in a dancing act on a big music hall circuit.
" Then Griffith gave Carol her chance in movies, whilst Julanne continued her interpretive dances.
" But next time she came home to Hollywood (we have always lived there, though Julanne was born in Indianopolis), she and Carol decided that movies were the thing and Julanne became a regular screen player.
"/^ecilia De Mille was another school chum of hers, and Julanne had done a tiny hit of acting in De Mille's Joan, the Woman, so she knew just a little about it. The rest, I think she had best tell you herself, now that Mrs. Dick is through with her.
So we all left the little studio for a cosy room downstairs, wherein its owner dispensed tea and talk in equal parts and Julanne changed into everyday attire.
She is not dark-haired, as her pictures may have led you to believe. Her silky bobbed locks are golden brown, and her eyes are grey-blue with well-defined brows. They have a kind of Oriental look that is in direct variance with a thoroughly Western outlook. She is not tall either, though lissom and ex1 ceedingly graceful in all her movement^
