Bette's Hats & Reviews: Bureau of Missing Persons (1933) + short

Bette's final film of 1933 was Bureau of Missing Persons with Pat O'Brien and Glenda Farrell. The only mention she makes of it in her autobiography, The Lonely Life, is that making that film made her realize why movie stars elected to go on suspension. She wears two hats.

They are still trying to make a sexy star out of Bette Davis when your reviewer is still pretty certain that she would be a whole lot better off if they let her be the sweet girl that she probably is.
~ The New Movie Magazine, Oct. 1933




Bette also appeared in a short titled Just Around the Corner, advertising General Electric household appliances! You can watch that gem below. 


She wears one hat in the short at 8:05. It's really too blurry to screenshot.
