‘Thats what they’re saying about Bette Davis — and justifiably so — after her long string of successes in portraying the
leading feminine roles of innumerable best-seller books, culminating with her current Warner Bros. hit, “Now, Voyager,” which is based on the novel by Olive Higgins Prouty, author of “Stella Dallas.” Remember “Of Human Bondage”? ... “The Sisters”? .. . “The Old Maid”? ... “All This, And Heaven Too”? ... “In This Our Life’? — she brought them all to vivid life on the silver screen. Then, too, there was her stellar acting in Warner Bros.’ picturizations of successful plays as “The Petrified Forest,” “Dark Victory” and “The Man Who Came To Dinner.” Small wonder that this two-time Academy Award winner should be dubbed “Bette the Best-Seller Girl!”
