Silver Screen (Feb-Oct 1935)

82 Silver Screen for March 1935 By The Editor Will Rogers A CANVASS of many theatre owners establishes Will Rogers as the best box office attraction among the men of Hollywood. Clark Gable was selected as the second best. Will has a real personality and the public is sharp enough to realize this. In fact, when you think of Will and his way of speaking, your thoughts are dominated by him and what he would probably say about winning the Number One position: "It sure was a Democratic year, all right. Almost any democrat stood in danger of gittin' in. We been makin' pictures off an' on for some time, but this here Democratic land slide caught us. So from now on all we can do is hang on or slide off. I'm plannin' on hangin' on, but you can't never tell. They might name Boulder Dam after us, temporarily, of course. Then we would be licked. "I notice that Clark Gable come in second. I didn't expect to develop sex appeal and all I can figure is I never should have changed from my old necktie. I guess this new one kinda dazzled 'em. "Clark Gable's a nice feller, and if my wife had done the votin', the results would have been considerable different. I'm much obliged, anyhow. "As soon as I heard about me and Clark, I sott of started strollin' around the streets, careless like, sort of expectin' the girls would throw themselves at me like they do at him, but so far there ain't one of 'em made a move yet. "Well, it's good exercise, anyhow."
