No Boop, No Doop[1] |

Helen Kane, champ Boop-Boop-a-Dooper, and three Boop. Baby Boops, yesterday heard Justice Edward J. McGoldrick reserve decision on the first part of Miss Kane's $250,000 damage suit. Not a single Boop had been entered in the record.
Boopers who waited in Supreme Court all morning while Max Fleischer, executive of the Fleischer Studios and one of the defendants testified that the animated cartoon "Betty Boop," was his own brain child, and not inspired by Helen Kane. Max Fleischer explained Betty's birth, right out of his own head and his assistants inkwells, which came the inspiration for a coy Betty with the spit curl headdress and wide open fliratious eyes.
The inch-long eyelashes of the real life Baby Boops fluttered with joy, however when Justice McGoldrick announced that the second part of Miss Kane's action, in which Boop-Boop-a-Dooping contests will run rampant, will begin in Supreme Court today.
"We'll just love to Boop for Justice McGoldrick," chorused the Baby Boopers, Bonnie Poe, Mae Questel, and Margie Hines, with two sub-boop assistants, Little Ann Little and Katharine Wright. "We think he's just a dear."
