schedule \n her mind. She takes things as they come to her without considering how many different tasks and engagements she has during an entire day. The schedule might make her want to give up even before she starts it. "When people start thinking about themselves too much and worrying over where they are going to find time to do everything, they get into trouble," she observed. "I try to think of only one thing at a time, and when that is done I go on to the next piece of business. But of course I'm lucky. I allow the studio to plan most of my days and then do just what they tell me." She confided another little benefit derived from making friends with the assistant directors, whose duty it is to see that actresses are at work on time. "If they like you," she said, "they don't call you to the studio until you are actually needed; but when an actress isn't nice to them they can call her to the studio hours before she is supposed to be there. I get in a lot of extra sleep by making friends with the boys." Having an even disposition at all times isn't as easy as it sounds, according to June. In the first place she claims a person can't stay on an even keel constantly, but that it is necessary to blow off steam occasionally. She makes a practice of doing this, in fact, when she is too harassed. But she is sure she does it with people who like and understand her, and if she hurts anyone's feelings she later apologizes all over the place. "I put very little stock in the one thing people say a girl needs most of to get ahead in Hollywood, and I'm talking about luck," June remarked. "Anyone who amounts to anything naturally figures he has a lot of it, but it is something you simply can't count on. I have always figured that luck never comes by itself. It usually is accompanied by work, which creates the break in a right direction." According to her opinion, the most useless thing in the world is a grudge When she does fly off she quickly forgets the incident, and if those around her don't appear to do the same thing she goes out of her way to make them see that they will be happier if they forget unpleasant experiences. There has been only one notable failure in June's career, the termination of her brief marriage to Jimmy Zito. She knew Jimmy in the early days when she was singing with bands, but apparently he had changed more than she realized when he showed up in her life later. She learned this after her marriage, but feels it would be wrong to dote on her mistake. But because it was a mistake, she has been careful to avoid publicity about romance in her life since her divorce. When she does appear in public with a date it is always with Dr. John Duzik, a Beverly Hills dentist, who had gone with her long before her marriage to Zito. But June didn't want to talk about Dr. Duzik, and we didn't care to strain her even disposition by dwelling on the subject. She was far more eager to tell us about the struggle she had learning to play a violin for several scenes in "Oh, You Beautiful Doll." It further illustrated her point that an actress gets ahead in her career by keeping her head and doing what she is told. She was proud of the fact that she had added a new accomplishment to her store of knowledge. "Personally, even if I did get fiddler's cramp," she concluded, "I say thanks to the powers-that-be for all I've learned during my picture career. And I only hope they'll go on making me learn something new for each movie, and that I will be level-headed enough not to get temperamental and balk. Where else but in Hollywood can I learn while I earn? That's why I'm holding on to an even disposition." In The Spring A Young Girl's Fancy Continued from page 47 come as much as the type of fur you wear. On the other hand, a cloth coat is deceiving. I have seen wealthy women in simple but smart cloth coats. Your coat should be black or navy, depending on the color of your basic dress. It could also be a strong red or a deep shade of emerald green. * * * To Fill In and extend your wardrobe, consider two-piece things that can be changed about for variety. A grey flannel suit and gray jersey top is the easiest "to do things with." You can wear the grey jersey blouse or sweater with a complementary skirt. You can wear the grey jacket with a plaid skirt, and make any number of changes like that. * * * As For Accessories you'll need a black or navy hat to match your basic wardrobe color plan. Add black or navy gloves. I beg women to buy good gloves . . . hand made gloves if possible. The difference is only a few dollars and grooming depends greatly upon the condition of your gloves. You should have one pastel hat with gloves to match, for that will change the appearance of your basic dress. And it is always nice to have a flowered hat because it is good in the Spring and Summer months. * * * Your Shoes are another indication of good taste, good grooming . . . and the condition of your bank account. If your basic color is black or navy, buy the very best black suede shoes you can afford, and a well-made bag to match them. If your budget is very limited and you don't wear black clothes, you will actually find it an economy to invest in a good pair of light alligator shoes and a matching handbag. Of course they're expensive but they can be worn with anything and they last for years.
