HOLLYWOOD T.
BY ERSKTNE JOHNSON

kiss in motion picture is al
most as inevitable as death and
taxes in real life. Somewhere, in
practically every molten picture,
there comes a time when the hero
takes the heroine tenderly- or it
can be forcefully-in his arms and
plants pulse-quickening kiss upon
he lips.
Oh, sure, there are exceptions. No
cowboy star, for example, ever kisses
his WindbloWn heroine. Western
fans are giving to hooting all
SmackerooS. But this little essay
is not concerned with kissless films.
Only the other day, Alan Ladd
kissed Helen Walker. 1t was for
a picture titled Lucky Jordan -
and ordinarily that smack would
have passed with little notice even
though film newcomer Helen is
something special in beauty. But
it was Ladds debut at cinematic
osculation.

TOUGH GUY GOES SOFT


Few stars ever hit such Stardom
as has Ladd without showing the
boys and gals of the fan world how
he can make love. But Ladd get
hot as a Sahara desert sun at the
boxoffice in a woman-hating role
in This Gun For Hire" He never
made even a pass at a dame. His
next picture was THE Glass Key
and there was only one kiss. He
wasn't the giver. Veronica Lake
wa
But in Lucky Jordan" a Wom-
an-chaser in the story, he kissed
Miss Walker with all the serious
ness, concentration and delibera-
ton of strong man tearing a tel
ephona book in two. He came
through it after several rehearsals
and three takes" and said: Gosh,
I'd rather shoot a gun
Film script writers lcve to toy
with kissing ideas of various kinds.
There's the kissing approach of Joel
McCrea's with Claudette Colbert
in THE Palm Beach Story" Plot
says she is going to leave him. He
intends to hold her. So when asked
to unhook the back of her dress,
he plans a kiss between her shoul-
der blades, SO unnerving her (the
script says that she whirls around
and he let's her have it on the
lips.
STUCK WITH A KISS
Heroes often take kissing ad-
vantages in film scripts. In The
Forest Rangers" Parlette Goddard
walks toward Fred MacMurray
across a wooden floor. She's wear
ing spiked boots. He lifts her off
the floor and plunks her down SO
soundly her spikes stick to the
floor Then, with Paulette unable
TO kick or strike back, he proceeds
to kiss her. Clever guys, these for
est rangers.
Champion feminine osculator is
Betty Hutton in "Star-Spangled
Rhythm" The first time she sees
Eddie Bracken, she leaps over a
desk, throws him, and kisses him.
The weaker sex? Later in the same
picture. Betty gives Bcb Hope a
rasounding smack, and kisses Bing
Crosby three times in one movement
and three SPLIT seconds.
Well, 1 guess that's about enough
until next spring when young mems
fancies lightly turn, and this story
can be written again.
