Native home of the gambiae is Central Africa, but about nine years ago they crossed the Atlantic presumably in a French airplane which flew from Dakar in West Africa, to Natal in Brazil.

They told reporters they would not take a honeymoon until Gable was through making Gone With the Wind, and Lombard her next picture, Memory of Love, for RKO.
