Gossip Friday: Swell Gesture

From September 1937:

Swell Gesture: Hearing a property man bragging about his son, Gable asked if his son had a bike. “Not yet, but when I get the money saved, I’m buying him one,” said the prop man.

Next day, Clark wheeled onto the set on a new bike. “How ya like it?” Clark asked he prop man. “Finest bike I ever see,” answered the man., “whose is it? Yours?”

Answered Gable: “Nope, it’s your son’s, with my compliments.”
