Miss Lombard presented the same to Mr. King because he had accomplished (1) what she had been unable to do and (2) what no movie script has been able to do, and (3) what no woman had been able to do. Mr. King, a business-like young man, had made Clark Gable dance. Mr. Gable, for these many years, had gone through life prac- tically without stepping on a dance floor. Even during the simple motion of a one-step or a waltz (does anyone remember) Mr. Gable always has suffered from acute shyness. Mr. King, with a few simple instructions and a large amount of co-operation, had turned Mr. Gable not only into a dancer but into a hoofer. He earned the Lombard’s congratulations—and Gable has earned something else. Whether he is appreciative or not, he has this department’s unstinted admiration. Any man gets the same who is of Gable's size and yet will cheerfully go through with a job of work that he thinks makes him look silly. Frem Carole Lombard to George Mr. King, it is true, had a powerful weapon. of “Idiot’s Delight.” If Gable were to have any part of that script, he had to hoof. Gable wanted it. He hoofed. I watched the result during the filming of his hoofing scene, and I predict right now that Clark Gable is going to be a wow. It’s the scene in the hotel lobby wherein Gable’s vaudeville troupe entertains to relieve the new war’s tension among the guests. H§ - e He had the seript get full enjoyment from this holiday seasen. Dine where you can be sure that your dinner will be the best that expert chefs can prepare, where service « PERCY’S audience includes Norma Shearer as the blonde (and phony) Rus- sian countess, Edward Arnold as the munitions manufacturer, Pat Paterson as the young American bride, and Charles Coburn as the scientist. On the sidelines the audience includes everybody on the lot who has managed to sneak in. (When Garbo talked it was nothing to this!) So Clarence Brown gave the signal, and Gable, preceded by his chorus of six blonde dancers, hoofed on. He wore a wide- trimmed straw hat of uncertain vintage, a tux, and a broad grin— and to the recorded tune of “Putting on the Ritz” Mr. Gable “gave.” Self-consciously, true, but he produced—and thdt scene ought to steal the picture. For six weeks Gable and King who is the Metro dance director, labored evenings on the hoofing routine. Two hours a day Gable gave to perfecting his technique in the “corny” steps of a not-so-hot vaudevillfan of the 1920’s—and his weight, normally around 190 pounds, which is hefty for a hoofer, has been reduced. In one day's hooting before the camera his net polindage loss was six. Success with Gable, however, has brought its penalty for King. “I've just had word,” he said, “that I'm to work on ‘Let Free- dom Ring.’ All I have to do is teach Victor MacLaglen to do an Irish Reel!” NA.
