King Features Syndicate Writer HOLLYWOOD—Three years and two months! It’s been that long since Clark Gable made a picture but neither time nor com-

bat experience has changed hi m. It’s the same old Gable that I see this week on set of “This Strange Adventure.” Director Vic Fleming is shooting a scene where Gable, a merchant seaman home from a torpedoing,

meets Great Garson and picks up her lively roommate, Joan Blondell, in the New York public library. There’s an electric quality on this set—real star-stuff. Greer, who plays a librarian, comes out of the scene first. “A fine thing,” I say. “Such goings-on in such a dignified atmosphere !” “Yes,” she says, laughing. "This picture ought to start a rush of applicants to be librarian.” Joan Biondell joins us and I kid her about the old days when she used to play straight leads and yearn for such a part as this. “But, dear,” says Greer, "I remember something that you did once that was delightful.” “What was the title?” says Joan. "I must have missed it." By the time we established that the picture was “Standin,” with Leslie Howard, Gable saunters over. He plops into a set chair, the picture of relaxation. “How was the first day, pretty tough?” I ask. “You said it," replies Clark, “I shook like a leaf. It passed after a while, but, the other day, when we had a difficult scene, it came back again. Lasted all afternoon.” Clark looks lean and fit. “I still don’t like those early calls,” he says. "We used to get up at 1 a. m. to make raids over Germany, but when I left the Army I got in the habit of sleeping until noon.” Clark took off 10 pounds to face

“That wasn’t hard,” he says. “The ranch ha’d gotten terribly run down. Weeds had taken over tho place. I ploughed and ploughed. Then I replaced a lot of wooden fences. I dug postholes in the hot sun until the sweat was pouring off me.” From now on, says Clark, he’d like to make one picture a year, or, at the most, two. I ask him about the various ro mance rumors, whether they are to be taken seriously. He shakes his head. “Then, you are going to remain a bachelor the rest of your life?” I ask. He thinks a moment. "I would not be surprised,” he says. On M-G-M’s lot three, in a set representing a railroad town of the old west, they are shooting the final scenes of "The Harvey Girls.” The company has knocked off to eat when I arrive. I find John Hodiak and we polish off a box lunch while talking. John is just back from themumps. He had them on one side and his face still is slightly swelled. “Everything has happened on this picture,” he says. "I got an eye infection, I broke a rib in the fight with Preston Foster and then I got the mumps. Ruefully, John admits that he still may have most of the other childhood diseases. As a kid he also missed measles, chickenpox and the whooping cough. Over at Republic, I drop out to the "Love, Honor and Goodby” set to watch Director Al Rogell shoot a scene with Virginia Bruce and one of the identical four-year-old twins, Jacqueline and Judy Moore, who work with her in the picture. The twins play a single role but, having two of them, Republic is able to alternate and get in more shooting time. Virginia has a nice way with kids. She frankly admits that her daughter, Susan Ann, the child of John Gilbert, is 12 years old. “She doesn’t look a whole lot like Jack,” says Virginia, “but, at least, she has his wonderful square eyebrows.” . _
