Gossip Friday: Gable Fever!

Letter to the Editor, February 1932:

“Clark Gable! Clark Gable! Clark this–and Clark that!”

I got tired of hearing my friends rave about him and went to find out what it was all about. I expected to see just another “great lover.” Wow! That guy just about knocked me out of my seat! A wonderful personality, marvelous actor and the most “exciting” person on the screen! That Gable will be as great as Valentino if given half a chance and the other had better look out for their laurels.

No fooling! He’s a one hundred per cent man. “Now I’ve got the “Gables,” too! Everybody’s got the Gable fever!
