Gossip Friday: Pampered Husband

From November 1935:

…Clark Gable, who has all the girls going pitter patter, really has a very even disposition about everything, but he does like to be the one to open the morning paper first. He wants the sports section to be just where the sports section should be and not way over there in the society section. He’s very nice about it to first offenders, but sooner or later you get the idea in the Gable household that the head of the house is to be the one to remove the rubber band. And no matter how much Mrs. Gable wants to know what Cholly Angeleno had to say about that brawl that the MAcys threw up in Santa Barbara she very patiently waits until Clark has finished reading about the fights which he saw the night before. Else he’ll sulk. Clark also doesn’t like to talk before he has had his coffee in the mornings, so if you are invited to the Gables don’t prattle until Clark has had his Java.

Also, Ria Gable knows enough to have a can of tomatoes always in the ice box, for almost every night Clark eats a can of cold tomatoes before he goes to bed. So you see the world’s most popular and devastating movie star has to be pampered at home just like any small boy. But I am sure Ria had rather pick up papers after him than be treated to love scenes all the time.
