Inscribed and Signed Photograph of Clark Gable. MGM, ca. 1946. Striking silver print photograph (13 x 11?) of Gable poolside at his San Fernando Valley ranch house, inscribed and signed: ?To Al Ansom/Best of luck/Clark Gable.? Ansom was the regional supervisor of several Minnesota movie palaces in the 1940s, including the Orpheum Theatre, where this photo was discovered backstage, according to the accompanying letter of provenance. MGM hand-stamp and caption to verso. Small nick to right margin, otherwise very good.
