Gossip Friday: Well Guarded
From February 1934:
Baltimore–Clark Gable, film hero, had a police guard today.
No, he hasn’t been threatened with kidnapping or anything as dire as that. It’s his feminine admirers that he’s seeking protection from.
Arriving here last night to fill a stage engagement, Gable found 1,000 women waiting for him at the railroad station. They almost mobbed him, and it was necessary for him to summon police to disperse the crowd.
One girl, police said, hung onto the actor’s neck as he dashed from the station to a waiting automobile.

We’re any of the other “big-timers” from that era treated like that? I forget how he was like Elvis. And is that photo from the actual incident?

My mom told me she waited by the stage door to see Frank Sinatra. He was mobbed too.
