Gossip Friday: A Swell Pair

From July 1936:

Now what’s all this between Carole Lombard and Clark Gable anyway?  It’s getting so that you can’t read or hear about one without hearing about the other one at the same time, too.  They guffaw loudly at romance-whisperers and they deny there’s anything to it–and yet they’re about as inseparable as a couple of newlyweds! (and incidentally wouldn’t they make a swell pair of brand new Mr and Mrs?)

Last double appearance was ar the circus when it played Hollywood–and Clark and Carole were as much eyed, if not more, than the rest of the show, the night they hand-in-handed it in the big top!

Marry?  Heck, I wouldn’t bet a tin dime on it either way! They’ve both been through the mill. And anyway, it will be quite a while before that Gable decree is final.

Talking about Clark’s ex-Mrs., I see she just returned to Hollywood from the East, where she helped welcome a new grandchild.  Since the divorce isn’t final, does or doesn’t that make Clark a grandpappy? Or who cares? Including Carole!
