But she recalls vividly her first real job in New York after she left college. She tried for a job in Ramshackle Inn on the road, was turned down, then got it when the girl already signed suddenly quit. Later, she won parts in Lute Song and Cordelia. Those who are wondering about her and Clark want to know if, beyond her ambition to succeed as an actress, she has anything else in mind for the future — something that might include Clark. This brings us to an ambition she has discussed which, she admits, is even greater than the first one — though she isn't naming names. "I want to have a successful, happy marriage," she says. How about Clark on the same subject? His most familiar quote generally has to do with his marriage to Carole Lombard, to which he almost invariably refers in any conversation with a close friend. "It was a perfect thing. I never expect to find it again." But Virginia Grey — a girl, incidentally, whom Hollywood once rated the logical choice to be the fourth Mrs. Gable — thinks that deep in his heart he has never given up hope of finding it. Others who share this belief about him are convinced that in the past year Clark has become disgusted with the aimless course of his bachelorhood. irate iris . . . There was something about the way he walked out on Iris Bynum at the Ocean House in the famous break-up of that affair some months ago, that may have been a tip-off. After they'd arrived together, Iris reportedly went off to dance with another man, leaving Clark alone. But it isn't like Clark to come even close to making a public scene or doing anything that might cause talk. Yet this time he marched out on Iris and refused to come back, though she went chasing after him. Iris thereupon sealed the end of that entente by commenting, when she returned, "Let him burn!" (It is a question whether or not he was burning — but he could hardly have been happy about the situation when it broke into the columns, since this isn't the kind of light he likes to be seen in.) Marriage is very much in his mind. He has held on to his big valley ranch even though an apartment, or even a smaller house in Hollywood or Beverly Hills, would be much handier and certainly less expensive. Clark has one well-known trait. He likes to give a new experience a whirl, no matter where it takes him, or in whatever company — but in the end, as he says, "I like to get back to my friends." In the end, these friends think, Clark, who was never as happy as when he was married to Carole Lombard, will find his way back to home-life again as a husband. Nancy won't say whether or not she's the girl destined to be his wife. She just keeps busy with preparations for her first picture while Clark, in between pictures at this writing, spends his time golfing, making no appearances at parties or the night spots. Where and when he and Nancy see each other (and under the circumstances Hollywood is pretty sure they do) hasn't come out yet. Maybe they will first be reported together at some unexpected place like Clark's golf club Not that Nancy has ever played the game. The sports she has been active in are tennis and swimming. But when she told about them, soon after arriving on the Coast, she added, for whatever it might be worth, "I would like to learn golf." And her chances look good. The End (For the Gable-Sheridan story see page 53.) new faces WALLY CASSELL'S first flyer into show business occurred when he got a job at the San Diego Exposition as a barker. No one discovered him there, so he went on to New York and landed song-and-dance jobs in summer stock. A long-term contract with MGM followed and on a loan-out, he made The Story of G.I. Joe, his first important movie. Wally was born in Italy on March 3,1917, is 5' 10" tall, weighs 160 lbs., and is married. You saw him recently in Saigon and his latest is We Were Strangers for Columbia. A LLENE ROBERTS wanted to be a waitress when she was very young because she thought I that would be a good way of getting her fill of banana splits. As she grew up, she began to turn her thoughts toward acting and "won a nation-wide contest with a screen test as a prize.
