Gossip Friday: No King and Queen Stuff

From March 23, 1939, Hedda Hopper’s column:

Tom Douglas and Rex Evans, former actors, have been decorating like mad–It’s Clark Gable’s new house and it was finished March 17. While the wires are being burned up to find out Clark’s wedding date, when Clark gets a couple of hours off he doesn’t bother about anything but tilling his soil. No king and queen stuff for Clark and Carole, they’ll break the news to all the papers at the same time.

Don’t worry, Hedda, they’d be married six days later.
