Recitation of Two Words
Because she read two words with so much expression, June Johson’s role was built up from just one line to an important comedy part in RKO Radio's
“Vivacious Lady” in which Ginger Rogers and James Stewart are starred. Miss Johnson, who is appearing iu her third film, found herself with only two words to say in her role of a silly young
college freshman. The line was ”Oh, Professor,” in answer to a query by Stewart, “What aro your arms for?”
Miss Johnson’s inflection and insinuation grin so caught tho attention of George Stevens, the director, that he had Ernest Pagano write in a scene between Miss Johnson and Stewart.
