Always Get Lass

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 29 (UP) —Alan Ladd is the dream man of a million girls, but in his movies he often winds up kissless.

Many women would like to rectify this oversight, but Mr. Ladd says he doesn’t care. “As long as I've got a good story to work on,” he said, “I can take ’em or leave ’em and be perfectly satisfied.” Mr. Ladd, asusual, nails his man in his current “United States Mail” at Paramount. But he doesn’t get a single girl. The reason is that there's no girl to be had. » » # PHYLLIS CALVERT, redhaired British beauty, has the feminine lead opposite Mr. Ladd, but her role cuts out any romance. She plays a nun. Miss Calvert is supposed to be the sole witness to a gangand murder and sought by both police and killers. Mr. Ladd is a postal inspector too busy unraveling the film's mystery and tracking down a gang of mail robbers to have any time for romance. It isn’t the first time Mr. Ladd has been a kissless hero. He fell in love with Donna Reed in “Chicago Deadline,” but he
