"j, fL usually spend their leisure days right at home or In some secluded picnicking retreats where they eat sand with their sandwiches and drink cinders with their codec, but do it in peace and quiet. James Stephenson, leading man, was a captain, East Lancashire regiment, Sixty-sixth infantry, British expeditionary force, during the World war, and on of the youngest captains in the English army. Jimmy won himself a couple cou-ple of wounds and a couple of medals In that clash, and he has been in a couple of tight places since. But Jimmy has only one great fear In life, and that doesn't concern bullets, near drownings, auto collisions or a dislike for TmziTng-aboutTne"" uppftneT"Tn1 airplanes. Stephenson's . great phobia Is moths. The tall British actor never realized what the great subconscious subcon-scious dread of his life was until he came to Hollywood 18 months ago and embarked upon the career as a leading man, which has had him working In 11 featured film roles In the last year and a half. But about the time he bought his fourteenth suit of clothes, and a fancy new topcoat, for his picture No. 8, Stephenson became aware of a growing fear of moths. He has bought every patent spray there Is on the market; even sent back to England for one kind of a preparation, Jimmy has tried the protective value of cedar shavings shav-ings strewn about a bedroom floor, and has lined and rellned the walls of his wardrobe closets with panel-ings panel-ings of woods that smell fragrant to the human sniffer, but have been guaranteed to have a repelling re-pelling effect upon the nasal apparatus ap-paratus of the lepidoptera.

The curvesome Zorina, who recently announced that she keeps In shape by exercising in the nude, could, for example, scarcely do her favorite training routines at populous beach clubs or mountain moun-tain resorts. When done at secluded se-cluded spots far from prying e'cs, however, nuda exercising is entirely en-tirely modest and proper. And a great way of stimulating the appetite appe-tite for a picnic lunch. While making "On Your Toes," 1 ' Zorina was kept pfefTyTIose io inr sound stages. On the rare days ah had free, she frequently packed baskets of food and thermos jars of coffee Into her car and went picnicking. She was always accompanied ac-companied by her mother and her maid. Presumably she did her exercising ex-ercising while they spread lunch . and served as lookouts. Sine th oomph girl title was ; bestowed upon her, Ann Sheridan has become a marked woman. Ann doesn't go quite as, far back to ' nature about It as Zorina, but she does Ilk to sun bathe. She can't ! do It In public like the thousands of other girls who decorate th i southern California beaches, so she i takea picnic lunchea to lonely stretches of strand where she can ; aun bath In privacy.
