in Hollywood you'd like to date." He took a quick gander at the Mocambo, and Giro's, and the night spots in Hollywood. "I'm not a night club Joe," says Dick. He was getting lonelier and lonelier. "I looked arountl again, not in the night club.s — and there was June." This time it meant something. At first he sort of got into tlie habit of dropping by her apartment on the way home from the studio. The place was usually cluttered up with Dave Rose, Van Johnson, and a flock of young actors from Metro playing June's records. But somehow or other, of the entire bunch, it was always Dick who got invited to stay for dinner. At first he thought it was because June's cook, who is also her housekeeper, companion, and number one adviser, liked him. (He'd play bridge with her and two of her friends in the kitchen after the dishes were washed.) But soon he discovered that June, instead of scampering off to the movies with one of the boys after dinner, started hanging around the kitchen too. And one night she said, 'T don't think that game's so difficult — why don't you teach me to play bridge?" Well, you know how it is. Dick started taking her out to dinner, to quiet places where they could hear each other talk. .\nd one date led to another, and they kept finding out they liked the same things. June was pleased to learn that Dick didn't like night clubs either. That he liked to get away from people. And of course Dick was delighted when he discovered that June likes boats. The first day they could both get away from the studio he drove her down to Balboa and took her for a day's sail on his pride and joy. June, Dick noticed with intense satisfaction, was the only girl he'd ever had on the boat who had better .sense than to get herself conked on the bean by the boom. I am willing to bet a tidy sum that was the day he really fell in love with her. But the way Dick puts it is, "June and I just started going together — and the next thing we knew we were in love and wanted to get married." June's studio, so the story goes, tried to talk June out of her romance with Dick Powell. But June just wouldn't be talked out. In fact, it's reported she has the studio even more worried than ever now because she's threatening to give up her career entirely. She never was terribly excited over being a career girl. .\nd she thinks she'd be much happier just being Mrs. Powell. When I asked Dick about this he said. "I will never say one thing or another about June's career. She must make her own decisions. Naturally whatever she decides is all right with me. It's strictly up to her." Well, as you read this the Dick Powells may be enioying the Pacific breezes off Newport. B'^fore he started "Cornered" Dick finished the new paint job on the boat, so it's fit for a honeymoon. It came as no surprise to me when Dick told me his future bride liked boats, that I can understand, by stretching my imagination slightly. But when he told me she liked bridge — well, then I knew the little woman was in love with him. It has to be love. iJteft !} iound the SECRET of an ALLURING FIGURE!"
