Cal York's Gossip of Hollywood: June 1938
GABLE’S NEW JOB
Clark Gable is the only California rancher with two elephants
on his hands. When Clark’s friend, Frank Whitbeck, inherited elephants Sally
and Queenie from a circus friend, he was nonplussed for all of two minutes,
wondering where, oh where, to park the unwieldly pachyderms. And then he
thought of friend Gable.
Sally and Queenie are most happy on the Gable ranch. Clark
claims he’s teaching them to trumpet in swing time.
JUST BEING THEMSELVES
What do married couples do when they make public appearances
in Hollywood?
Well, when Margaret Sullavan and Leland Hayward dine out in
public, hubby sits with a newspaper before his face during the entire meal. No,
not a word passes between the two. At least, not the night we spied the silent
partners at the Gotham.
Joan Crawford dances between courses when she dines out. If
not with Franchot, then with a friend. And, in general, has herself a time.
Arlene Judge and Dan Topping do the Big Apple from soup to
coffee.
Joel McCrea and Frances Dee gaze at each other, completely
absorbed; occasionally hold hands a moment, thus creating sighs of envy to echo
about the town for days on end.
Myrna Loy and Arthur Hornblow, dining usually at Hungarian
and French restaurants, discuss each dish and how each particular recipe could
be improved upon at home.
PROUD PAPAS DEPARTMENT
When Claude Rains left Hollywood for his Connecticut farm,
his two-month-old daughter travelled in fine style. On each piece of her
luggage was printed the name ‘Jennifer Rains.”
Henry Fonda, who has taken over 300 candid camera shots of
his baby daughter, is planning a private showing of his collection. Five dollars
thrown in, says Hank, to anyone who will look at all 300 shots and exclaim
rapturously over each one.
Gary Cooper reveals his plans for baby Maria Cooper: she
must learn that each and every individual has rights that must be respected;
she must learn that life outdoors is vastly important toward building mind and
body; she must learn that spoiled and selfish people have no place in the world
today.
