But he was not quite as hard-boiled as he thought, and it took a naive, small-town girl to prove it to him. "No Man Of Her Own" is the surprising romance of a slick card shark and a respecta°}e> unsuspecting girl from "the sticks." Clark Gable, Carole Lombard and Dorothy Mackaill enact the story for you on the screen, and the latest Screen Romances brings you the amusing love story, in complete fiction form, illustrated by many scenes from the production. Look for this absorbing tale in the February issue. You'll find nine other complete stories of the finest and latest motion pictures, including The Animal Kingdom (Ann Hardin" Leslie Howard, Myrna Loy), The Kid From Spain (Eddie Cantor), Flesh (Wallace Beery, Karen Morley, Ricardo Cortez), Lawyer Man (William Powell, Joan Blondell), and Employees' Entrance (Warren William, Loretta Young, Alice White).
