from distractions by retiring to
his dressing room between scenes.
He is visibly concentrating on
remaining in character which is
no easier for him than it is easy
for the correspondent to keep
from snarling when his writing

Gable does not snarl. He keeps
potential interrupters at arms

The first is one he plays with

is cast as the mother Of Gable S

A wistful Gable is q rare sight
