"Being Natural" Helped June Allyson to Fame Would-be motion picture ac tresses who constantly worry a bout their figures, their weight, their voice or their health should stop immediately and take a good long look at June Allyson who stars with Jeff Chandler in Universal - International's "Stranger in My Arms," which continues tonight and Tuesday at the Cass Theater. "Because," declares petite June, "many times those qual ities have nothing to do with your becoming a success in Hol lywood. In fact, often-times a skinny figure or funny voice can be just the stepping-stone to star dom you've been waiting for." And June Is a gal who should know what she's talking about. Weighing a stropping one-hun dred pounds "if the wind is right" and standing just one inch over five-feet tall. June is the perfect example of a star who made it to the tor of the Hollywood heap with the cards stacked against her. When she was nine years old June suffered a serious spinal injury when a tree, hit by light ning, fell on her. Invalided for many months, June was deter mined to walk again and as part of the corrective exercises to build her muscles, she practic ed dancing. It was her profic iency in this art that enabled her to land her 1st job in show business when she fully recov ered, a job dancing in the chor us of the Broadway hit, "Sing Out the News," from which she eventually moved to screen star dom.
