At first blush Alice in Wonder

now specializes in bitter, hateful
characters, wouldn't seem to have
much in common. But that's where
you're wrong. They have.

Ladd In a picture called This Gun
for Hire" Right away, you get the
feeling that all that seemingly futile
scanning of such screen dramas has
brought its reward. There is a
fellow, you say, who is bound to go
places. You would bet what you
could raise on a second mortgage
that you are right.
In a way, it is strange to feel that
way about fellow playing one
of those pent-up-hatred-f for society
parts. So far as acting goes, it is
acting in reverse. The fellow doing
it Is not allowed to move a muscle,
which is the most painful restraint
ever imposed upon performer. He
must be completely deadpan. With
out changing expression from one
end of the film to the other, he must
express cold hate, hint of extreme
abuse in childhood, intimate that
for all of his moral paralysis the
spark OF humanity still burns dimly
within him, and that some day his
cold. cruel, immobile mouth will
twist into a smile. 1t Is difficult
job within the latitude offered and
it Is made the more difficult be-
cause the player is allowed to use
his voice only on one level He's
nerveless guy, you see, otherwise he
couldn't kill in such frigid blood
and when you are like that you
have to speak in a monotone. Not
a monotone this minute or this five
minutes but for the time covered
by the whole picture.
1t IS virtually the equivalent OF
playing tennis with your hands and
feet tied, but If you can do it, 1t is
bound to create the impression tina.
this is an extraordinary thing.
Ladd can do it. So you bet on
him as natural for the mantles Of
Cagney and Garfield and all the
others who have gone on to things
Of which they may yet get as sick
as they did of their old gangster
parts.
Ladd. who comes as a complete
surprise to even press agents who
should have complete dossiers on his
favorite recipes. his hobbies. marital
status, etc, is native of Hollywood.
At % he has had enough jobs to
know how to play number of parts
which have nothing to do with the
one he plays in the picture which
will make him star. He has been
soda Jerker, a newspaperman.
lunch wagon proprietor. and still is
the husband of Sue Carol, who used
to be an acreSs herself but now is
acting as his agent.
That's about all any one seems to
know about him at this point. a

agents will correct before you can
say, Who is this Alan Ladd?"

Second Triple Play By Newark Bears
lBy United Pressl

The pace-setting Newark Bears won both ends of their Interna- tional league doubleheader over the Rochester Red Wings, 5-1 and 6-O, Wednesday night. Jack Page held the Wings to five hits in the opener and George Washburn turned in a seven hitter in the nightcap.
 The Bears executed their second triple play of the year in the opener. With two on, Dusty Cooke lined to Gene Corbett, who threw to Bill Johnson to double a man off sec- ond. Johnsons return to Corbett caught the third runner off the bag by several feet.
 Jersey City split with Buffalo. Bud Thomas blanked the Giants with six hits in the first game as the Bisons scored two runs in the fifth and sewed up the contest with three in the seventh. Bobby Coombs scattered nine hits effectively enough to win the nightcap.
 A 13-hit blast brought Baltimore an 8-1 triumph over the Montreal Royals. The Orioles clinched the game with six runs in the seventh.

 Gomez made his first appearance in this country in the stadium ring last week and banged out a win over rough and tough Jerry Fiorello. The Cuban had Fiorello on the canvas-something that few fighters have been able to do-and also showed that he can take a punch when he arose without. taking a count after being dropped by the Brooklyn Italian.
 Roach last week scored 8 decisive win over Matt Dougherty but fig- ures to have more trouble with Bisogna. Nunzio defeated Roach in the latter's home town, Whining. ton, Del, and boasts of never being fioored in bouts with many of the nations best lightweights.
