Helen Kane Says She Never Heard A French Boop[1]


American's claim to having made that epochal contribution to the art of beautiful song, impiously described in the vernacular as "Boop-a-Doop-ing," withstood a flank attack from abroad in Supreme Court.


Yesterday when Helen Kane said she had never heard a French sonnet called "Bou-Dou-Ba-Da-Boum"[2] published twenty years ago.

"Don't Take My Boop-Boop-a-Doop Away," Kane testified, was a song expressly for her by Abner Silver. The trial, in which Paramount-Publix Corporation, Max Fleischer, cartoonist and the Fleischer Studios, are accused of filching her line for their animated "Betty Boop" cartoons, resumes today.
