Plans To Adopt Two Babies
Blonde Vocalist Is Proud
Of Title As "Nation's
Number One Jitterbug"
Mar-
By SANFORD STEIN
'I'm never getting married
riage is too stiff. But I'm going to
adopt two babies when I get enough
money. As for my choice in men, I like
the real clean type who look -as if
they've just come out of the bathtub.'
And in these few sentences, Betty
Hutton vividly blonde, interestingly
shaped, stridently voiced, thoroughly
whacky vocalist in Vincent Lopez's or
chestra summed up her opinions on
love, matrimony and sex.
CAB CALLOWAY
Betty, a female Cab Calloway as
anyone who saw lier acrobatics at
either the concert or in the Tin Can
will testify, is only 18 and very proud
of her title as the "nation's number
one jitterbug." "I was interested in
vocalizing as soon as I could yell 'wah
wah,'" she revealed, "and I used to
sing at school plays and socials."
Vincent Lopez discovered Betty two
years ago when she was working in
Detroit at the Continental Night club
hex first professional engagement.
She's been singing with him ever since
and though she doesn't think touring
i? so hot, she's crazy about her job.
Betty, of course, likes swing music
liest "It's my chief stock in trade,"
she said modestly. "I've tried doing
ballads but I don't sound so good at
them. My favorite number is 'Jump
Session I really dont know what my
style is, but I do know that it's all my
own." When asked if she isn't ex
hausted at the end of each piece she
, Kings, she answered, "No, just when I
V get to bed at night." And she very em
i phatically declared, accompanied by a
I wrinkle of her nose, that she is not re
V lated to Ina Ray Hutton.
i CHEZ PAREE
1 After the tour is completed, Betty
I and the orchestra will play at the Chez
J Paree in Chicago. Their last engage-
ment was at Billy Rose's Casa Manana
TTn New York. Next year, Betty will
" appear in a musical comedy on Broad
way. "I dont know what it's gomg

Loss In Flames
Fire of undetermined origin swept
through the third story of the district
health department about 4:15 yester
day morning, damaging the structure
and equipment, causing an estimated
loss of about $2,000.
