Unable to turn time back, he is studying with the young players Paramount sends to the dramatic coach on its lot. This instruction that Buster is obtaining is the only thing which Johnny covets. 'I wish my studio would take more interest in my future," he sighs when he stops to meditate. "Lupe bought a machine to record my voice and I started to improve my diction. And then I was informed they wanted me just as I am. They want me to be natural, to be practically silent and keep on making that goofy face at the camera when the other characters talk at me! "They console me with the argument that Tarzan is a unique 'line' and yet I'd like to branch out into sport stories as well. I wish I could have done 'The Prizefighter and the Lady' and 'Eskimo.'

Johnny, who was so shy he sat in the corners at parties and shook whenever he saw a camera, has learned from Lupe that the one who shouts loudest generally is rewarded here. Buster, carefully observing, is deliberately putting determination into his naturally soft, goodnatured voice. Tamed'/ Well, Buster didn't smoke until he had to tackle a cigarette for a recent scene, and now he can puff nonchalantly. But it'll take more than Hollywood to seduce him from the straight-and-narrow. As for Lupe's Poppa— the whoopee princess who thought she had every man's number is stumped by him. She's trying to tame him, tactfully so's he won't suspect. But I find that neither Momma nor film stardom has tamed this Johnny who has always won exactly what he wanted when he wanted it. mid by Music Publishers and Talking Picture Producers I?ee booklet describes most complete song service eve.

Continued from page 12 with women overcome with his appeal. Oh, there were men and boys among the tremendous mobs that greeted Clark whereever he went, but— poor males — they were pushed and shoved and trampled by overwhelming numbers of the oft-called weaker sex, whose historic weakness became strength through sheer madness. A toll of Gable's losses on his short trip includes the following articles : 27 silk handkerchiefs. 3 3 buttons torn from his clothes. 1 complete sleeve of a dress-shirt. 1 lapel from the coat of a business suit. 1 pair of bedroom slippers. 1 top half of a pair of silk pajamas. 1 wrist watch. Gable cares little for any losses except the watch. He believes that it may have been taken by a souvenir-hunter who did not understand the watch's real value. As a matter ofrecord, Clark would like someone to return the watch to him. This is his reason, in Gable's own words: "The watch was a gift from my wile, therefore it has much sentimental value to me. If the finder, or taker, will return it to me, I will be happy not only to send that person a duplicate of the watch, but I will also pay a cash reward of fifty dollars, and ask no questions." The watch is white-gold, and attaches to the wrist by means of a white-gold linkchain. On its back are the two initials: C. G. Do you know who has the watch? If you do,' please be sure and explain Clark's reward offer. Many and strange were the efforts ot girls and women to see Gable alone. In Baltimore, a girl rented the hotel room adjoining the suite occupied by Clark, Mrs. Gable, and a constant guard who rarely left the actor's side. Beginning early one evening, this girl knocked at the door of the Gable rooms. She was answered by the puard, who politely but firmly informed her that Clark was not in. At intervals of about one hour, the girl continued to knock, but each time she was greeted by the vigilant guard. Perhaps the girl thought the guard would eventually go to be elsewhere in the hotel, because she kept calling and knocking. Finally, about two o'clock in the morning, the guard informed her: "Beg pardon, miss, but I remain in these quarters all the time No need for you to knock on the door; I'll always answer you." Whereupon the girl thrust out her tongue and uttered that rasping noise known as "the bird." The following morning, as Gable stepped alone into the elevator to go downstairs for breakfast, this same girl stepped in behind him. Barely were the doors of the elevator closed before she threw her arms around Clark and began to rain kisses upon his cheek and neck. When he attempted to turn away from her, the excited girl rudely (such, such manners!) proceeded to nip one of the Gable ears with her teeth. In the midst of this latter display, the elevator reached the lobby and the doors were opened. A crowded lobby of people were treated to a show that caused Gable to break away from the girl roughly, and dash for the front doorway. As for the brash young lady, she only grinned— and pocketed a button from her idol's coat. Gable never returned to that hotel. It was during Clark's stay in New York that he received a most amazing letter from a girl. The letter was penned on expensive stationery which bore a crest. The writer introduced herself as a cultured member of a fine family. She had seen Gable on the stage, she said, and she frankly admitted a certain type of love for him. Calmly and apparently without shame, the girl went on to say that she had read that°Gable was the father of no children. She had discussed this with her own parents, and they had agreed that if she could have a child with Gable as its father, they would offer no objection! She insisted that any such affair between them would be purely platonic, with no obligation on Clark. Her family was wealthy, and she was well able to care for her own baby. She even requested that he talk the situation over fully with' Mrs. Gable. "I am sure vour wife, being a woman, will understand"." the girl pleaded. "I want this baby more than anything else m life. Amazing? Unbelievable? (j "I did turn the letter over to my wite, Clark tells, with that boyish grin that endears him instantly, "but she wasn't favorable to the idea !" One daring girl managed to sneak backstage at the theatre in Baltimore. She made her way unseen into Clark's dressingroom. When Gable completed his turn behind the footlights, he found the gir awaiting his return. He had closed the door behind him when he saw her for the first time. He stopped short and demanded: "What are you doing here?" The o-irl choked before she could speak,
