162 THE TWENTIES Shortly after Cone With the Wind had opened, an interviewer asked Clark Gable, "How does it feel to be tlie screen's greatest lover?" To which the conservative Mr. Gable replied: "It's a living." Here he is in 1925, starting in to make that living. At the right, just behind the bush, is Stuart Holmes, one of the principals in Strongheart. The extra in the dinner coat, second from left, is Gable. BELOW Sally, Irene, and Mary, made in 1925, brought three girls into the limelight. On the right is Sally O'Neill, who became a star of the silents. The other two, Constance Bennett ( left ) and Joan Crawford, rose more slowly but stayed longer, for they had their greatest successes after talking pictures came in.
