Newest Heart-Throb Romantic John Lund, Now Woos Paulette.
John Lund, America’s newest heart-throb, admits his preference for “heavy”, so called “psychological parts, but because of his good looks and romantic appeal he hasn’t been given a chance to develop the heavy side of his screen personality. And from the looks of things, he never will.
Ever since his sensational debut in the dramatic triumph, “To Each His Own,” which won him instant public acclaim, Lund, under contract to Paramount, has been in demand as a romantic partner by every beauty on the lot. The handsome actor has certainly done all right by himself thus far, having played opposite Gail Russell in “Night Has a Thousand Eyes”; Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich in “A Foreign Affair”; Betty Hurron in “Perils of Pauline” and most recently opposite the petite new star, Wanda Hendrix in the laugh hit, “Miss Tatlock’s Millions.”
In all of those pictures Lund’s role was a straight romantic one but in his current Paramount melodrama, “Bride of Vengeance,” coming the King’s Theatre, he outdoes everything he has ever done in the way of screen amour.
