It’s opening this week in San Francisco. I asked her if there was any truth to the reports that the Para- mount hassle followed her insis- tence that O’Curran direct ‘Topsy and Eva.” Some columnists had printed rumors that co-star Ginger Rogers refused to be directed by O'Curran. ) It seems that in Hollywood, the land of choice closeups and camera angles, one feminine star doesn’t want the other star’s husband call- ing the shots. It was no reflection on O’Curran, a very talented direc- tor. “Nothing to it,” answered Betty, holding up her right hand. “The whole trouble was over script. I'll argue like hell when I know I'm right.” She apparently was right because the Duncan Sisters story since has been shelved at Para- mount. She says the only ‘ight she had at Paramount was trying to get O’Curran’s contract broken. “They were glad to drop a hot potato like me but they wanted to hang onto Charlie. He didn’t need me but I needed him to stage my Toad show.” The O’Curran-Hutton combine also is incorporating for movies and television. Betty owns the rights to make a movie of Sophie Tacker’s life. She’s holding off on television until sbe gets the right format. “I'm nuts about corporations,” exudes Betty. “I've been support- | ing my family since I was a kid. I have a business head on me. | Tl bet you'll go away from here thinking I'm not a lame-brained | |blonde after all.” ‘Army Orders More Vigorous Action Against Deserters | WASHINGTON — The Army ‘high command has ordered its area |commanders to take more vigorous jaction against soldiers who desert fin this country or go absent with- jout leave.
