Clark Gable Chosen As Best Dressed Actor
WHEN the National Association of ’’ Merchant Tailors of America chose Clark Gable as the best-dressed man in motion pictures, lie protested. “I don’t want the honour,” he said, when the story was read to him on the “Parnell” stage. “It’s like being named the handsomest man or the dearest man. I like to look right, but I don’t wear my clothes because I want to be the best-sometbing-or-other. I choose my clothes for comfort' only. That’s why I haven’t had on a dinner jacket for more than eight months. If thev call me the best-'tweed-dressed man, I’ll be satisfied. As for my screen wardrobe, they shouldn't elect me for it. That's my meal ticket, just as a shovel is the meal ticket for a ditchdigger.”
