Movie Classic (Mar-Aug 1936)

come miserable when married, because of different temperaments. Years ago, Clark Gable told me that he was born with wanderlust in his blood. He talked of the days when this urge to see new places and do new things had led him into the Northwest lumber country. He recounted an argument with a husky lumberman and how they had fought it out — muscle against muscle. He recalled the time he had ridden a freight train, without a ticket, across the northern part of the United States. "My hands nearly froze. I was so nearly frozen, I almost slipped from the roof of a car. But I didn't!'' Then, he went to Hollywood. He was ambitious. He wanted to prove to Hollywood what he had proved to the lumberman : he could fight and he could win. And when he should have proved it ? — 'T want to have money enough to care for my family and care for them darned well ! But when I have done that and have perhaps a hundred dollars a week for myself, then I'd like to board a tramp steamer and start going." I sometimes wonder if certain types of men — wanderers, adventurers — should be married. And yet I have never seen one of these wanderers who did not wish he were like the "other fellow," and could settle down and be happy. CO Clark Gable stood at the liner's ^ rail and brooded. And Ria Gable remained in Hollywood and suffered. Two magnificent people who have done their best to become "one" when they are "two." A man and a woman who have struggled to remain together because they once believed they would live that way "forever after." An actor and his wife who worked harder than most of us to remain married because they feared a curious world might not understand if they separated. And a world will misunderstand. It will cry, "Hollywood." It will watch every girl with whom Clark is seen; every action that Ria makes. It would take great courage for them to remain together. It takes terrific courage for them to separate. It is not easy to break the habit of matrimony when a man and woman like one another. Both will be lonely. Both will feel a vacancy that may never be completely filled. Both will have memories that cannot be wholly forgotten. Courage! The courage to continue together — unhappy, incompatible. The courage to separate — also unhappy. Which takes the more courage? What would you do if you were either Clark or Ria Gable? In his first picture since the unforgettable Mutiny on the Bounty, Clark Gable returns to modern times and faces a situation that is not new to films, but is new to him. The title of the picture is Wife vs. Secretary. Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow are his co-stars . . . Myrna as the wife and Jean as the secretary. YES!
