Helen Kane Demonstrated Her Boop-Boop-a-Doop[1]


Miss Helen Kane's counsel asked Helen to demonstrate her "Boop-Boop-a-Doop," for the justice, who alone will decide the suit. "Boop-Boop-a-Doop," she burst forth a second time, shouting to the puzzled stenographer to "PUT IT DOWN! PUT IT DOWN!" Miss Kane was silenced by Justice McGoldrick, and a couple of her "Boops" eliminated from the record. "How do you interpolate your 'Boops' into your songs?" her counsel asked. "It's hard to say," she explained. "It's a form rhythm I created. There's a bar of music, and at the end there's a stop." "Were you ever known as the Boop girl?” "Sometimes," she replied, smiling. "I was introduced as just Boop."
