June Allyson is rapidly becoming known as Hollywood's "PaJama Girl"
 The petite blonde screen favorite is currently co-starred with Robert Walker in '"The Sailor Takes A Wife" at the Strand Theater.
 TWO Girls and a Sailor" the musical which revealed June as a box -offlce hit, presented her in tail- ored pajamas, created by topnight designer Irene. But they were plain, to match the character June par trayed. Gloria De Haven had the femine, whistle-provoking sleepy time clothes in that one.
 Next on the Allyson schedule came Music for Millions" in which she portrayed a young war wife expect ing a baby. Her night attire was even less chic than her maternity dresses. Her pajamas were lowered finaanel, voluminous and untiatter- ing. Her housecoats and bathrobes could best be described as utilatar. ian rather than decorative.
 Having proved herself dramatic actress. June was next given the role of a rather pathetic s hut-in. confined to her bed with bad heart. This was In Her Higkness and the Bellboy," in which she also appeared with Walker. But a third star was Hedy Lamar, and it was Miss Lamar who wore the glamour clothes, while June's wardrobe. ex- cept for two scenes, comprised a pair of tailored flannel paJamas. a pair of lowered lawn paJamas. q bed jacket and an all-enveloping blanketl
 Glamour Huhl" says June. "And now I reach the heights of the ridi- culous in The Sailor Takes A Wlse".
 The gay M.o-M comedy. in which she plays Walkers naive young bride, reveals her on her bridal night in Q pair Of pink, wOoly. frilly pajaEnas. her hair done in pigtails and tied with pink ribbons. AS Walker himself somewhat taetlessly tells her in the scene. she looks for all the world like a bunny rabbit.
 But cheer up. boys. In the last scene Of The Sailor Takes A Wife" June loses her naivete. and sets Co wear 6 black chiffon nlghlie."
