NAME I Full Addrenn 58 GABLE WANTS TO MARRY AGAIN* (CONTINUED FROM PACE 27t not be dismissed as mistakes. Perhaps they can be classified as 'growing up.' He proves his appreciation and gratitude toward both women by saying reminiscently, "I've been lucky in love." What was happening to Clark Gable during those earlier years is still going on! He is a man who is continuing his quest for personal growth. He's ever alerted to acquiring new knowledge, to developing himself. You can tell by being around Clark that he's not calculating in his approach to men or women. He is not trying to use people. He's genuinely attracted to able, interesting, adult personalities. He reads a lot. We talked at length about some of the newer books, mostly non-fiction, such as the Whittaker Chambers book. He travels a lot, and with his eyes wide open, I found out. He listens with interest to new information. He keeps on learning — and consequently, Clark Gable continues to develop. Such a man is sure to outgrow certain personal relationships and he finds that he must sidestep others because there isn't enough to them. Being attracted to a girl is not enough to constitute love for a man of Gable's substance! Today, Gable isn't trying to avoid love, but he has found out that it can't be forced. He's learned that unless there's mutual respect and shared interests, a superficial, magnetic attraction doesn't last. Nor is friendship — or admiration — or a desire for companionship enough for Gable. Friends were openly puzzled when Clark Gable and Sylvia Ashley married. Their interests and tastes were as different as day and night. It's possible that Clark married that time out of loneliness. I'm certain the experience was enough to jolt him sharply to the realization that a man can't talk himself into love. Of Sylvia Ashley, he says, "That was unfortunate. The faults weren't all on one side, you know. It might have lasted, I suppose. I don't ever go into marriage thinking ahead to divorce," he added. He rarely speaks of Carole Lombard, his great love. He's not the kind of man who moans when he's suffering, but he told someone I know, "It's foolish to attempt to match an ideal." In case it appears to some that Gable is living in a tear-stained past, let me make it plain that he came to painful grips with reality — and won. He looks marvelous. I sat watching him at Royal Festival Hall in London, where he and Gene Tierney were working in one of the scenes of the MGM movie, "Never Let Me Go." I noticed he had the powerful stride and physical bearing of a handsome, fit man at his prime. Gable came walking up to the table where I was eagerly waiting to talk with him again, and greeted me with a look of genuine pleasure at seeing an acquaintance from home. He quickly slipped out of the dapperlooking trench coat he was wearing for the scene, sat down and then ordered coffee for both of us. Fortunately, we had about two hours to get re-acquainted and talk while the movie set was being shifted around. I captured the impression of a intensely alive, magnetic, attractive man — healthy, hearty, high-humored, and with a zest for living that makes him a very exciting companion. There's nothing detached or vague about Clark. His penetrating blue eyes engaged mine and sparkled as his inimitable husky voice recounted some of his many adventures. I happened to ask when he'd first travelled to Euorpe, supposing that it had been during his war service as head of a combat photography unit. "No," he corrected, "my first time over was in 1928, when I got a sudden yearning to see Holland." He interrupted himself to mention, "I'm half-Dutch, you know, and I had a hankering to see the place where part of my roots grew. Anyway, I got to Holland, didn't speak the language or know what to look for and I was so darned green," he smiled, "that I stayed only a few days and headed right back for the United States like a bewildered hick." I once heard a girl — a rather self-centered and famous young lady who dated Gable for a while — describe him as a dull conversationalist. I could only grin to myself and feel sorry for the gal. Apparently, she'd heard so often that he was interested mainly in hunting and fishing that she just never bothered to tap other facets of his lively and interesting mind. He does have to be drawn out a bit at first. He's inclined to listen quietly and attentively when someone else wants to do the talking. Meanwhile, he's taking it all in. One of the studio employees in England commented to me, "Why, I've never before met a man of Gable's stature in show business who had so much humility, and such a great and genuine interest in what other people have to say!" Let a woman possessed of sufficient brains, charm and tact strive to explore Gable's mind, however, and she'll find there a treasurehouse of interesting facts, fun and penetrating observations, once he opens up. He is a fun-loving man. "What's more important in life than its chuckles?" he asked. "Having fun is good sense. If a guy can't laugh now and then, he's not much good," declared Clark. Nor does he mind if the laughs turn out to be at his expense. I asked him whether he was plotting to get some biggame hunting in while he was making the next movie, "Mogambo," in Africa with Ava Gardner. "Every time a producer gets the idea to have me work in a picture that's to be made in some faraway place," he laughed, "the big inducement offered is always how good the hunting is there. Biggame hunting, deer-hunting, duck-hunting. They always figure out something too good to miss. The only hook is — I've yet to hunt on one of those location deals.
