HE'S COLD...CALM...AND A KILLER! His eyes seem to pierce you, go right through you like two icicles. Sometimes he smiles, but it's not a gay smile — it's cold just like he is. And yet, there's something about him that is tremendously attractive to all of us girls. It was a little over six months ago that Alan Ladd burst upon the cinema scene. It was in a picture called "This Gun for Hire" and his name was listed far down on the billing sheet. But when the critics and the public saw the picture there was only one thing they talked about — ALAN LADD! "He's different," they said, "He's unlike any other star." Paramount studio executives realized that they had something in this lad Ladd and gave him a starring picture all his own— "LUCKY JORDAN"— and you'll be able to see it at your neighborhood theatre shortly. In "LUCKY JORDAN," Alan really establishes his spot in the firmament of stars. He plays the part of a racket boss, a killer, who gets tangled up with a spy ring, only to realize that he can't sell out his country. We predict that after America sees "LUCKY JORDAN" Alan Ladd will be ranked among the ten biggest stars in Hollywood. That's why he's the hottest guy in pictures!
