The beach resort at Lake Pontchartrain did more business before July 4 than it had done all last year. New Orleans matrons, hard put to find servants, laughed last week at the story of a housewife who went to the Negro slums to look for a cook. She asked two Negro women sitting on a rickety porch if they knew of one, was told: "No. ma'am; we're looking for one ourselves...

...complete today without its ring of sinister saboteurs, and "This Gun For Hire" has its share of them, headed by hulking Laird Cregar, who again manages to turn in an effective characterization of a refreshingly unstereotyped villain. There's a love interest, too, with Preston Foster and Veronica Lake as the involved parties. Ladd doesn't win the girl-he doesn't even try-but he does win a whopping head-start as Hollywood's best discovery in years...
