American leading man Jack Luden, a member of the Pennsylvania cough-drop dynasty, graduated from Paramount's talent school in 1927 , but Luden's initial starring western, Shootin' Irons (1927), proved a failure. The actor did better in Paramount's popular "flapper" melodramas — Two Flaming Youths (1927), Clara Bow's The Wild Party (1929]), but a pronounced stammer did not bode well for a future in talkies. Luden's career declined rather drastically during the '30s, and by the 1950s was all but forgotten, and died at 49, while incarcerated at San Quentin on a drug conviction.
