Offer limited to U.S. HOLLYWOOD FILM STUDIOS 7021 Santa Monica Blvd., Dept. 389, Hollywood, Calif. 40 ■ An international set of pictures, lately including How Green Was My Valley and the forthcoming JVoto, Voyager, with Bette Davis, all expose the impressively masculine charms of John Loder — a name you would never have heard had not the German people had a passion for pickles in 1924! And if he had not responded to a cable from Hollywood in 1939, you'd have heard no more of him. He left Paris with his wife and baby daughter just before the war's outbreak, leaving behind their home, most of their possessions and a bank account blocked in England, another seized in France. But pickles in Potsdam supplied the real turning point of his life. He was born John Muir Lowe in London, son of General Sir William and Lady Frances Lowe. At 13, he entered Eton to prepare for college and a career of an English gentleman. Instead, he became a pickle merchant and, behind a facade of British reserve, a soldier of fortune whose adventures are the envy of the louder professional swashbucklers of Hollywood. "Pickles in Potsdam?" Loder smiled. "I'll have to go back a few years to make it clear. "When the war broke out in 1914, I enlisted. I was big for my age." He still is — a solid 190 pounds on a very erect, sixfoot three-inch frame. "They learned I was under age and threw me out." So he attended Sandhurst, the British West Point, for four months, and went from there as the youngest British officer at the front, to the disastrous campaign at Gallipoli. On Loder* By HENRY REESE British officer, captured and almost executed in World War I, secret agent, pickle merchant and actor, John Loder is a real life adventurer. He's in Warners' /Vow, Voyager After fighting in Egypt, he was sent to France, where he fought through the battles of the Somme. By then he was a captain — "promoted by Death — there were no officers left." March, 1918, found him in charge of a rear guard action, vainly trying to delay a German push which flowed right around his position. By the end of the day his men were reduced from 250 to 35, short of ammunition, and under the shelling of their own artillery. Then they were captured by the enemy who accused them of shooting wounded Germans. So Loder and his men were promptly lined up for execution. " 'You're going to die in less than a minute,' I told myself, 'and you're not a brave man. Why aren't you scared?' I wasn't. I was numb. "At the last moment, instead of shooting us, they put us to work carrying wounded Germans from the field. Then we were sent to prison in Silesia." When they weren't feeding starving children through the gates of the prison — from Red Cross parcels sent through Switzerland — the chief occupation of the prisoners was attempting escape, mostly via tunnels dug with tin cans for tools. "Our prison was next to a monastery. Our most ambitious tunnel went in that direction — and struck the wine cellar. We postponed escape to empty it, which was refreshing, but the end of another 'escape.' " Peace saw Loder, after nine months in prison, assigned to the British Military Mission in Berlin. But he was still a prisoner until delivered into British hands,
