Go4 W Left: Alan Ladd with Mona Freeman, the gal who makes him change his mind in "Branded," Paramount's exciting Technicolor Western. Charles Bickford becomes suspicious of Alan, who poses as his long-lost son in "Branded." CAREER-WISE, Alan Ladd is a changed man. Where once he lurked in alleys and dark city streets, eluding the police and fellow mobsters, he now roams the Western plains, sometimes on the side of the law, sometimes with the bad men, but always toting a gun. Perhaps Alan's switch to the great open spaces is the direct influence of his home life, for he owns a cozy ranch where he resides with his wife Sue and two children. He loves horses, owns several of them. In keeping with the new Ladd, Alan's latest Paramount picture is "Branded," another Western filnu Left: Although Alan's been posing as her missing brother, Mona knows he isn't and in spite of herself, falls for the guy. Her love makes him see error of his ways and he reforms. Right: Alan is just as much at ease depicting Western characters in horse operas as he was as a gangster. Here he is as Choya, a quickshooting, hard-riding hombre in "Branded."
