The cheery ones — "The pipe you sent sold $50,000 in War Bonds at our rally." Yes, and the laughs — the lonely lady in Detroit who wanted Sue and Alan to move there when Alana arrived. "Because I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I can take perfect care of the baby while you and Alan work. . . ." And the high school girl who wrote plaintively, "Please send me another picture for my locker, Alan. You're my favorite pin-up — but some jealous cat stole the picture I had — and I know who it was, too!" Yes, there are plenty of thrills in every mail sack for Alan Ladd, too, personal thrills. He's discovered blood relatives, for instance, here in America and in England, he never knew he had. Alan never knew anything about his kin-folks, if you remember. He hasn't a birth certificate to this day. The courthouse in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he was born, burned down the year he was born or something, and there's absolutely no record. When his mother died, he knew no one who really belonged to him. But he gets constant twig clues to his family tree through the mail. A school teacher who knew his grandfather recently wrote him all about the old gentleman. It was the first time Alan had even had a description of what he looked like. Alan has found out through his mail fans what his own name, Alan, means, "fast, majestic and graceful!" That's something Alan never suspected before. But an even odder bit of information came when Colleen Moore, the great silent movie star, who now lives in Chicago, wrote to ask Sue for an autographed picture of Alan for her little girl — a fervent Ladd fan. Writing to thank them for the picture, Colleen said: "I was interested to learn that your little daughter's name is Alana. I wonder if you know that in the Gaelic language Alana means "little one" and is a pet name? You remember my brother, Cleeve? Well, his little daughter is called Alana, too." That information later came from all parts of the world, by the way. Sometimes Alana meant "darling," "beloved," "little pet" and so forth. But always it meant just what both Alan and Sue would like their baby's name to mean. Funny thing was — they had no idea Alana meant anything when they named her. They just thought it would be nice to name the baby girl after Alan! There's only one time on record that Alan's weakness for his fan friends got him in dutch. He made a quick jump one afternoon from the set of "And Now Tomorrow" to the Lux Radio Theater. In the crush after the show, a young girl stated boldly, "Mr. Ladd, if you'll give me the tie you're wearing, I'll be the happiest girl in the world!" Old softie Ladd simply couldn't refuse and ripped it right off his neck then and there. So what happened the next morning but retakes were scheduled for the scene he'd just made, with Alan due to dress exactly as he had the day before. But here's the rub: Alan has a weakness for — er — distinctive — ties, and there wasn't a cravat anywhere to match the one he'd given away, a pre-war importation from France. When he confessed he'd given it to an unknown girl friend, his director almost blew up. They never did get one to match, but I expect Alan's fans will forgive that slip-up in the picture, even if they notice it. As for Alan Ladd — stacked up against the thrills he gets for making people happy, a mere bawling out is a pleasure. He'll trade a studio rap for the kick of a friendly smile every time.
