1930s actor and bandleader breaking wind (5)
I believe the answer is:
gable
'1930s actor' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bandleader breaking wind' is the wordplay.
'bandleader' becomes 'b' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'breaking' indicates putting letters inside.
'wind' becomes 'gale' (gale is a kind of wind).
'b' put into 'gale' is 'GABLE'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "Triangular roof end" , "Filmstar at the side of the house?" , "Part of outer wall - actor, Clark" , "Triangular brickwork" , "Part of exterior wall" .)
