Holiday
Continued From Page ELY
What was formerly a little dismal
is now riot of red and white.
The apartment is too tiny to house
maid, and Judy says she wouldn t
have one if she could.
You get dependent on people
when you have big house." she
says. Il don't ever want to be that
dependent again."
Judy Her Own Helper.
She does her own work. Sundays,
particularly. find her madly vacu-
uming and sweeping. She is fiend
for washing ashtrays. She likes
busting. but hates to make beds.
And she's good cook.
Show business is an old story to
her-so old, in fact, that she needn t
make production of being star.
She knows she is good. The studio
knows it. So she is completely natu-
raj.
Occasionally she makes a remark
that sounds even younger than her
20 years.
1--WE heard that the years from 20
to 80 just fly by sche will say. "Is
that true?
I'D like to get to the graceful age
between 80 and 40. I'd like to be
the tall, suave type with two chill
dren. You know, the kind that
doesn't show it!" then she laughs.
Instead, I'll probably be in the
dumpy division!"
Childishly, too. she hates to fill
out forms of any kind. Detail is her
pet hate. Getting a ration book is
worse than making picture.
She also hates to talk on the
phone, and to look up numbers in
the telephone book. She likes peo-
pie who greet her over the wire,
state their business, and hang up.
She gives mad, horrlfying excuses
not to have to 90 through the direc-
tory. One of these included plain
tive statement to the information
operator: But I have no hands!"
She has a collection of hundreds
on records, ranging from Sibelius to
Louis Armstrong, from Delius to Ar
tie Shaw. Music is music, to Judy

ton was bad. Chewing lead, said
Judy, didn't help it any. Then the
coach said that if she wasn't care
full she'd end up singing like Kate
Smith. Judy's reaction was, rs that
bad?"
She says her father had a natu-
rally beautiful voice, completely un-
trained. That's where she got hers

little worried about the effect OF
this on her new neighbors.

Slated for a Rest.
She hates to get up in the morn
ing. though she presents a smiling
exterior. ("You don't know what
going or inside!') She has a tenn
