Only trouble about death scenes
today are that they'll be few and far
between. Producers have decreed
that this is no time for unhappy film
finales-so an actor who can gobble
up two such glittering showcases for
his art is extremely fortunate, in
deed.
When Goth Century, Fox filmed the
ending for "Roxie Hart" a few days
ago Ginger Rogers and George
Montgomery were shown driving
away in an automobile with q set of
twins in the back seat.
However, when executives took q
look at the rough cut Of the Aim.
they decided they might just as well
make the ending even more hilari-
GUS.
So they called Ginger and George
back for retake and hired five ad-
ditional kids. Now, when they drive
away there will be seven children
crawling around in the back seat, in
Guiding two pairs Of twins.

manner in which he dies in couple
of unreleased epics.
For two years and a half. Ladd
has been playing small parts and
getting nowhere with every studio
in town. 1t wasn't until a few weeks
ago that he got chance to die for
his art. When he did, Ladd put
his heart and soul into the job. He
passed away so powerfully that the
studio Immediately handed him an
other dramatic death sentence.
The most important of the Ladd
deaths is in This Gun for Hire"
because, from the time the picture
opens on him committing murder,
the public knows this boy must die.
In the ensuing reels, the audience
comes to like and pity him. At
the finish, he dies heroically, but
pays his debt to society when Robert
Preston, a detective, shoots him
down to save Veronica Lake
Just prior to that, Ladd played
a naive young aviator who dies
nobly through tense scene in
Joan Of Paris"
Those two death scenes, in rapid
succession, says Hollywood. will
make him a star-end let him live
in future roles.
Nothing SO strange about Ladd
dying his way toward stardom. AL
most every top personality IN Holly
wood can trace his or her most re-
membered scene to q death Sc
quence.
Gary Cooper died long ago as an
aviator in wings" and went right
out from that into leading roles.
George Raft, without moment OF
acting experience, died in Scar
face" so beautifully he was flooded
with contract offers.
Bette Davis dies more often than
she lives in pictures and rates top
position among actresses because
she knows how to extract every
ounce of pity end sympathy from
passing out sequences. Spencer
Tracy is the dyingest male star in
the business. His death in Cap
tains Courageous" won him in acad-
emy award The public won't soon
forget his death in TEST Pilot"
Young Mr.. Ladd can sit down and |
prove to himself bv the records that
he's been lucky enough to draw the
most certain route tn movie heights
He can remember how Ellen Drew
batted around in bits until she did
her big death scene in If Were
King" because he was an extra in
that same production. Claudette Col
bert's career zoomed upward after
she died in Cleopatra" So did those

posed authorities contradicted each
other, so he began to search for
definite proof to confirm or refute
the printed works.
Trade publications of various
kinds are one good source Of such
proof. If q company was publish
ing a company paper In any given
year 1t seems fairly certain that it
was still in business then. However,
such items are rather rare, so Mr..
Mckee began to look for other
proofs.
Magazine ads next claimed his at
tention. AS long as advertisements
continue to appear In a magazine
there must be company to pay for
them. The only catch here is that
some automobiles have been ad-
vertised but never commercially
manufactured.
MI. Mckee has complete informa-
tion on only about one-fourth Of
his known cars, so his hobby WIN
probably keep hin busy for many
years to come. But, even with the
story so far from complete. he prob.
ably knows as much about the auto
motive industry as any one not di-
rectly connected with 1t and In q

ultimate aim is to know the COM
plete history of the American auto
motive industry. II and when that
end is achieved he may embody his
knowledge in a book, but at present
he is too busy searching out the
facts to bother much about anything
so far in the future.
Mr.. Mckee is native of Iowa but
has lived in Washington about IS
years. He is employed by the Enei-
neer Department of the municipal
government. Being single and hav-
ing no other hobbies, he has consid-
erable time to devote to his avoca.
ton.
He has been interested in the facts
behind the automotive industry ever
since he was a small boy. Befors
coming to Washington he had coll
lected a few items pertaining to it.
but he left them back at his old
home in Iowa.
Up to about six years ago Mr.. Nc
KEGS interest in his subject was
more or less dormant. He noted
facts concerning it and stored them
up in his mind. but that was about
all. Then local newspaper ran q
contest in which the entrant was
required to identify pictures of some
II old cars whose companies were
still in business. Mr. Mckee not
only named them all correctly. but
secured pictures of the modern
version of each car, mounted them
all in a neat folder and won first
| prize in the contest
This reawakened his active in
terest in the subject and with many
questions regarding the beginnings
and endings of numerous companies
In mind he set out to find the an
swerS.
At first he spent considerable time
in the library looking up and read
ing books on the automotive indus
try. He found that often these sup
