Helen Kane Claims To Be The Original Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl[1]


Stole Boop 1932

Helen Kane filed suit as the original "Boop-Boop-a-Doop" girl yesterday against the film's animated cartoon creation "Betty Boop". 

She asked for $250,000 damages and a permanent injunction restraining the Paramount Publix Corporation, Max Fleischer, the cartonist who designed "Mickey Mouse" (Bimbo) as well as "Betty Boop," and the Fleischer Studios from the production and display of their "Boop" series.

In the papers filed with the supreme court, Miss Kane goes into such technicalities of "Booping" as these;

"Plantiff originates and still uses a method of singing songs consisting of the interpolation at frequent intervals of the sounds Boop-Boop-a-Doop, or Boop-Boopa-Doop or Boop-Boop-Pa-Do or Boopa-Doop or simply Boop alone."
