CHI-CHES-TERS PILLS For relief from " periodic junctional distress" somehow, I always played the same type of girl — sweet and so uninteresting. "I was unhappy about it yet I didn't step out and fight for what I wanted. I had the idealistic notion that if I was really good, someone would see me and put me in better roles. Months went by and nothing happened, so I started calling on producers and telling them my story. They were sympathetic, always delighted with my enthusiasm and ambitions, but they could never see me in anything but those same old parts. Jerry Wald used to encourage me by saying, 'Just wait, your chance will come. Ann Sheridan went through this same thing!' "I read scripts of the new pictures and many times saw parts I knew I could play. I actually prayed for a test of Cassie, in 'King's Row,' and was crazy to play in 'The Constant Nymph,' but no one even thought of me. Three different times I was on the verge of quitting the whole thing. "But when you have someone believing in you, you can't fail them. There's my mother, her every heartbeat is for my success. There's my friend and agent, Henry Wilson, he never doubted that we would win. No, I couldn't let them down. I look back now and see that these frustrations and disappointments taught me emotional values." Months passed. Julie decided to try summer stock and get more stage training. She wanted to feel the instant appraisal of audiences. So, she journeyed to Wisconsin and joined the Peninsula Players of Door County, where she did eight plays, which proved inspiring and gratifying. She gained new confidence, had a clearer view of her problems, and on arriving back in Hollywood came the bright idea of changing her name. "Now," said Julie happily, "I'm starting a new career and each step is encouraging. I was terrified to play with Humphrey Bogart because I knew he was a practical joker and I was afraid I couldn't take it. But he was wonderful to me, jokes and all, and I learned much about acting from him — he's a real artist. Playing in 'To The Last Man' with Errol Flynn is exciting. It's a story of the Northwest Mounted Police. "Several important films are lined up for me and my future looks bright. I've continued my ballet practicing for I hope to combine dancing and acting in a picture some day. My big dream is to play Marilyn Miller when they make a film version of her life. "No there's no romance." Julie gaily shook her head in answering my question. "I'm a career girl, as I told you, and I never want to give it up. Yet — down in my heart I know that a woman can never be truly happy without love and marriage. These are normal feminine demands and you can't toss them aside. So, someday, when everything is just right, I hope to marry. I sincerely believe it is possible to successfully combine a career with marriage. Not submerge it, mind you, for it is too important for that. Men carry on careers without disturbing the serenity of their domestic life, so why can't a woman?" How to Be Happy Though Rationed Continued from page 43 found a variety of meat substitutes as recommended by the government's nutrition program. Before the war, the Cafe featured a fancy selection of rare foreign dishes, prepared by imported chefs for the appreciative delight of studio gourmets. The French chef, for example, was the favorite of Betty Grable. He was always prepared for Betty's order of Vichysoisse or Chateaubrian escargots bourgeoine, but times have changed. Patriotically — and palatably, Betty now goes for the newest Janios specialty, the Victory Plate, designed to make former meat-eaters forget their troubles. Here's Nick's recipe, including all the nutritive elements: Broiled turkey livers Grilled sliced ripe tomatoes Grilled avocado Green asparagus tips French-fried onion rings Gratined egg plate The Victory salad, which is something else again, is Nick's answer to the needs of a regular customer like Alice Faye. While working on "The Gang's All Here," Alice kept her weight down with this salad of fresh greens, garnished with sliced turkey and a special French dressing made with mineral oil. That mineral oil dressing, incidentally, is a Janios headliner. Not only does it restrict calories for dieting stars, but it also cuts down on scarce fats and oils. Try Nick's recipe on your next salad. 1 quart mineral oil 2 cups lemon juice 1 tablespoon Lea and Perrin sauce 1 tablespoon paprika powder 1 cup catsup Salt and pepper to taste It's not fattening, not rationed, and "not bad!" Mineral oil, Nick has found, is also an excellent substitute for the fats used in cooking vegetables. Nick's even devised a non-fattening dessert, crisp doughnuts cooked in the all-purpose mineral oil. Laird Cregar, ordered to lose weight for his starring role in "The Lodger," dropped 60 pounds on a special diet in which all his foods were cooked in it. Speaking of desserts, fancy and fattening concoctions have almost disappeared from the Cafe menu. Occasionally Nick offers pie or cake, but more frequently it's fruit jello, sherbet, or this specialty: FRESH PLUM CAKE Lay out tart forms with coffee cake dough. Split the plums lengthwise, remove the stones, and place the halves flat side up, in rows. Sprinkle with sugar and -cinnamon. * A universal favorite and nutritious appetizer is the Henry King cocktail, 82 ScREENLAND
