this is the marriage that wasn't
supposed to last more than six
months. Mr.. Powell would call a
strong man. He had to overcome
the handicap of starting his career
as a crooner, with dimples more
over, to become a foremost tough
guy hero and a big-shot executive
in movies and TV, and his own
producer.
June AllysOn can twist him

neither of them. They have two
children, the first adopted. Miss
Allyson is quite capable of bring
ing them up with firm hand, of
managing a large household with
efficiency, and of handling hus-

Two Systems
Miss ALLYsoN has two methods
of tanning the rogue male, of which
one is cuteness which comes
natural to her - and the other is
obstreperousness. If people know
they are going to encounter resist

twice before making excessive de-

operation. The very first time !
ever met June Allyson, she was US
ing her cuteness to reduce a ROOM
full of M-G-M executives to jelly.
The issue was a small one - the
design of a hat she was supposed to
wear in a picture. Miss Allyson
wasn't sure she liked it. She made
the producer try it on. 1t did not
look good on him.
The directors turn was next. He
put on the hat unsmilingly. and in
fact with a scowl. but he did not
argue about it. Miss Allyson eyed
him judiciously. No. she decided,
the hat would not do. And they
had to design her another one.
Miss Allyson did not really give

w Glenn Miller Story" is
released, half-pint June Allyson
(five-feet-one, SO pounds) will
probably be the biggest thing in
pictures. If this turns out to be true.
it will come about as a switch on
the usual Hollywood procedure.
JUNE got there by persistently say
ing mo"
In point of fact, Miss Allyson is
probably the most consistent. ag-
gravating ''no-sayer" in the United
States. If the picture on this page
could talk, it would be saying
Nothing doing" If it could move.
it would be shaking its head.
Miss Allyson is past mistress of
what might be called the "antici-
patory negative" She will say
no" to you before you even get a
chance to ask the question.
There is a story to the effect that
when her present husband, Dick
Powell, took her home from their
first date, she said mo" at the
door when the poor man hadn't
even opened his mouth to ask for a
goodnight kiss.
Quick Answer
AND here is an example l can
personally vouch for. Recently she
was in a hospital bed. recovering
from an appendicitis operation.
The publicity head of Universal
Pictures called on her, bringing
flowers. The minute he stuck his
head in the door. Miss Allyson
yelled out, with surprising strength
for sick girl: The answer is
moi"
How did she know he was going
to ask her to 60 on a personal
appearance tour for The Glenn
Miller Story? As matter of fact,
he had no intention of doing so =
not until he first handed her the
flowers, that is. Miss Allyson - it
is a trick she has - cut the ground
from under his feet. My guess is
she will 60 on that tour.
Miss Allyson has a little finger
especially designed by nature to
twist strong men around. 1t is an
awesome spectacle to watch her
doing it - like viewing the tanning
of wild elephants.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD, May q R-"l
went into the jungle with a bunch
of tin medals and came out will
gold"
That was Johnny Weissmuller':
reflection on his % years in the
movie business. Now well fixed
because of his earnings in African
movies, the onetime swimming
champ says he may retire in an
other two years.
tT've had it," he Says. EN- an
Eother two years, I'd Like to give
up the jungle life and retire.
Don't worry about me finding
something to keep me busy. I'm a
guy who likes his leisure. I'd be
perfectly content to spend my time
skin-diving, playing golf and just
relaxing
There's only one element that
might upset his plans-TV. Right
now a deal for series is being
whipped up. His agents and bust
ness managers are hot for it, but
he doesn't like to work that hard.
That's understandable. He prob
ably does less work for more
money than any other performer
in Hollywood. For the past eight
years, he has been doing the Jungle
Jim series, in which he shares the
profits. He does three a year, for
an estimated return of 500, 900.
Not bad, considering the films take
a mere nine days apiece.
Movie making takes only ~ days
out of his year. What does he do
the rest of the time? Occasionally
he takes out a water show, as he
did in Las Vegas last year. But
most of the time he simply enjoys
life.
1 must say that it agrees with
him. I saw Johnny ON the set of
his latest Jungle Jim epic, "The
Moon Men," He was up to his
thighs in moon men-all the midg-
cts and dwarfs in this area had
been recruited for film. He'll be
At next Wednesday, but he has
the build and face of a much
younger man.
1 asked him how he does it.
Swimming" he replied with
the obvious answer. 81 keep my
pool at home at 80 degrees the
year around. Every day I swim
about a half-mile. / do 1t with my

only 20 by 40 feet, and I'd get dizzy
if I swan without something t.
hold me back"
The daily workout keeps him al
trim 205-210 pounds, which j.
par for a man who is 6 feet 3. HI
was only 10 or Is pounds lighter
when he was breaking all thu

cedures recommended by the state

Mrs. Hesse has visited the

dren as well as the teachers and
principals of the schools.
Parents have been invited to at
tend these informal discussions so
that they will be acquainted with

been planned to interest the youth

appreciation of growing things.
The program will eliminate with
