"Do the best when you have the opportunity," is their motto, "then relax once it's done for no amount of worry will change it." It's a lively circus around the Wildings on Sundays with the family plus their four dogs and four cats. Liz kids, "Maybe our house isn't the largest in the neighborhood, but we do boast the most mammoth doghouse and dog-run in the community." While Liz was letting her hair down, we cautiously ventured into causes for disagreements. She was very honest. "The only thing on which Michael and I differ is he is punctual and I'm always late. When we're invited to a friend's house he thinks it extremely rude if we don't arrive on the dot. But you know how I am . . ." Our conversation was changed when the hairdresser and wardrobe woman came in to get Liz ready for the next scene. "Here comes the wrecking crew," she grinned. "This," she told us, "is my favorite scene coming up. Would you like to watch it?" We nodded that we would. "I play the entire sequence in bed. You see I told you I'm lazy." end EXCITEMENT FOR CLARK IN AFRICA [CONTINUED FROM PACE 27] metropolis, as modern and up to date as the cities of America. "Somehow, despite everything you've heard beforehand, you still picture the cities filled with grass huts and warlike natives," Gable told us a few days after his return to London. "Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find Nairobi a progressive city with 12 fine hotels, and a reputation as 'the Paris of all Africa below Cairo.' " MGM chose Nairobi for the hub of its huge location for "Mogambo" because of its many cosmopolitan advantages, and more so because it is the center for big game excursions to all parts of Africa. Veteran firms there outfit safari parties for hunting in the colony and in the neighboring country of Tanganyika, and the city is connected by air with regular plane service to England, Australia, India and South Africa. Obviously, anything of this nature fascinated Gable. "It didn't take us long to discover that a mere ten miles or so outside of the city limits there were plenty of lions, elephants, giraffes and other forms of wild life wandering about unhampered," Clark said. "Only a few years ago it wasn't uncommon for a lion to stroll unconcernedly down the main street of the town. "It was exciting, too, to learn that members of the dreaded Mau Mau Society, the native terrorist organization which has sworn to drive the white man from Africa, are carrying on their plundering and murders within a few miles of the Governor's home. As a result, there's a curfew each night, and practically everyone carries some form of arms for protection." Gable pooh-poohed the rumor that the Mau Maus had planned to kill him to draw attention to their activities, but the local police thought differently of the threat. They screened all the native drivers for the film's safaris, and learned hat two of them belonged to the terrorists. They were promptly escorted back to their villages. The "Mogambo" company, headed by Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly and Director John Ford, stayed at the New Stanley Hotel and the first ten days were spent working in and around Nairobi. Prominent members of the local colony, including one viscount, acted in the movie, and 1000 Samburu tribesmen never before photographed for a motion picture, were collected for the native cast. When the company moved into the jungle on the first safari, 80 vehicles — including a refrigerator truck for the highly sensitive Technicolor film — were required to transport the small army. The first camp was established on the shores of the crocodile-infested Kagera River, and it was here that Clark Gable had the opportunity to show what an expert marksman he is. Gable had just returned from a hunting trip with a professional guide when he was attracted by the frantic shouts of natives who were working on the construction of one of the sets for the picture. Rushing to the scene, he found that a giant crocodile had crawled from the river, intent upon snatching one of the workers for a tasty dinner. Clark raised his rifle and fired, and the crocodile, whose mouth had been wide open when the shot was fired, slumped suddenly. Investigation showed that the single bullet had entered through the crocodile's mouth and emerged through the head, killing him instantly. From that point on, the natives reverently called Gable "Bwana Makuba," or "Mr. Boss Man." Speaking of Gable's well known prowess as a hunter, his visit into the heart of Africa has changed his opinion about big game hunting. Here's how he phrases it: "After watching first-hand so much wild life here, I've developed an aversion to hunting just for the sake of killing. You can't see a giraffe, an elephant or even a lion at home in its natural setting without appreciating the fact that he certainly has a right to life. "Killing a predatory animal as a matter of self-preservation is one thing, but killing just to obtain a trophy for the living room wall seems not only senseless, but also downright outrageous. When I saw a herd of elephants grazing contentedly on the open plain, I had no urge to bring one down with a bullet. Instead, I was overcome with a desire to capture the scene on film, which is exactly what I did. From now on I'll do my big game hunting with a camera instead of a rifle." Living in the jungle was a happy ex 55
