John Loder

John Loder

ACTOR

A tall, debonair, immaculately-groomed British leading man best known for his pipe-smoking chaps, actor John Loder (ne John Muir Lowe), the son of a British general, first served in Gallipoli in WWI and was a German prisoner of war at one point. Upon his release he actually stayed there in order to run a pickle factory. An interest in acting developed during this period and he showed up in a few German film bits before returning briefly to England. Talkies had become the new rage in the late 1920s and Loder tried his luck in Hollywood. He appeared in The Doctor's Secret (1929), which was Paramount's first talking picture, and although the "veddy British" actor seemed to show promise, his persona was a bit too cut and dried for American tastes. Gaining little ground as a leading man there, Loder eventually returned to England to embellish his resumé and did so with plush, princely co-leads in musicals and intrigue such as Love, Life & Laughter (1934) and Sabotage (1936).
