"She Jias a certain sixth sense about what's going to be good or bad for Bette Davis," was the admission of Jack Warner, boss of the Warner Brother! studio, after winning a long court battle with his first lady. Bette took a two-year lay-off, spent $2.10,000 in a legal feud by which she attempted to prove hers was the right to accept or reject roles. The case proved one of the most bitter but at the end, with him victorious, Bette and Jack made one eye might be a drawback tract.

The last hurdle was an interview with the late Harry Conn, sultan of the studio. He looked Falk over and said. "I'm in his acting carrer.

Bette Davis is back in Hollywood lashing out at movie producers who put stars in sickbeds to "save their own faces." She was referring to an incident last fall where her rejection of the mother role in "Return To Peyton Place" prompted a false report that she was seriously ill. "The story mushroomed all over the country," said Bette, "and the general impression was that I was gravely ill, lying at death's door, in fact.

never knew a single person could suffer from so many different diseases as I was supposed to have. It wasn't one bit funny to have the news services calling up and saying they'd like to bring your obituary up to date. "And all this time I was in excellent health," asserted Bette, who looked it, even through the dappled, aging make-up she was wearing for her "Apple Annie" in a revival of the old May Robson hit of 25 years ago.

And, believe me, it wasn't." Stories went out also that she resented playing a mother role.

"Nothing could be more ridiculous," she laughed. "My screen record shows I've played just every age person and have for a long, long time. Take a good look at this old, old lady I'm doing right here." In addition to all the embarrassment to her and the children, Bette pointed out that the story cost her money. Producers were shying away, fearing her too feeble to do anything more than a wheel-chair part. "They're typical of all the tall tales put out by Hollywood producers who won't face up to their own inefficiencies," Bette went on.

"While I had been announced for the picture and actually had agreed to play it, it was with the provision I must have a chance to read the script first. Upon doing so I wanted out and fast, but rather than tell the truth, out went the sickness stories."
