So Gable....So Garbo! Just Marvelous :)
Ross Verlag card from 1931, almost certainly related to the 1931 pre-code film "Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise)" directed by Robert Z. Leonard.
In the film, Gable plays a version of his typically cynical, crusty, loner role (Though it's perhaps a dated and politically unpopular character type today, this is is not a bad thing! We love Clark Gable!) to Garbo's character of a tragic woman of easy virtue. Exquisite as always.
Well, take "easy virtue," and "pre-code" and you have a recipe for a film that is later cut to ribbons by censors, feels that way when watched, and is not very highly rated today. Great chemistry between those two greats though, and if you like, you can take about two minutes and follow our link to a Youtube clip from the film. Wonderful scene...wonderful kiss...wonderful :)

Wonderful card too! Very nice condition, with a brief Happy Birthday greeting, "Mīļš sveiciens dzimšanas," written on the obverse in Latvian.
