Gossip Friday: Quite a Pair

 An early one, from April 1932:

Joan Crawford and Mrs. Clark Gable often seen lunching together at the Embassy. Don’t overlook the Mrs.–it’s important and too bad.

_______________

This one is rather funny, since Joan and Clark were in the midst of quite the heated affair during this time. One wonders if the powers-that-be at MGM released this tidbit to the press just to show that Joan and Ria were bestest pals and there was no way Joan would be cavorting with Ria’s husband. I am not quite sure what they mean by “Don’t overlook the Mrs.–it’s important and too bad”—too bad that there is a Mrs. Gable, I guess?
