A very interesting story, told by reporter Adela Rogers St. John, a friend of the two, who ‘stumbled upon them one night’ behind the bandstand at the Cocoanut Grove. She said:
“I knew they were somewhere, because I’d seen them sitting at the table (with their respective spouses), then they disappeared…the club was crawling with press and studio spies, and if Clark and Joan were misbehaving, it would be all over town the next day…”
“Misbehaving? When I went looking for them, I found them literally stuck together…Clark had his back to me, and she had her legs wrapped around him, in a postion only a supple dancer like Joan could assume. “
“I yelled something stupid at them. They straightened themselves out, adjusting their clothes, and Joan, when she saw it was only me, said, ‘Adela, darling!’ And Clark gave me one of his rogue grins. The next day each one sent me flowers, with a note from Joan that read, ‘I bet you were thrilled watching!’
“And you want to know something? I was.”
NICE ONE, HUH? :D
