Gossip Friday: You’re Under Arrest

From November 1935:

Extra! Clark Gable Arrested! Imagine your favorite hero’s surprise when two strong arms of the law strode into the studio and slapped a firm hand on his shoulder. Seems Gable is such a stout huntsman that he makes his own shells. He borrowed a reloading machine from a friend on the Culver City police department and forgot to return it. So a John Doe warrant was issued, since the rest of the department did not know who had the machine and thought it had been stolen. Whitey Hendry, head of the MGM police, learned of the warrant, and knew who had the machine. So he tipped off the boys to rib Clark. The boy really took it big, and a whole of explanations were in order.
