Boop-a-Doop singer loses case. Helen Kane who claimed to be the pioneer of "Boop-a-Doop" sued Max Fleischer the cartoonist and the Paramount Cinema Company for $250,000 for alleged appropriation of the "Boop-a-Doop" idea.
Fleischer insisted that the Betty Boop of the films was a creature of his own imagination, although ante-dated by "Boop-a-Doop."
Judge McGoldrick found that her singing technique was common to a number of "Boop-a-Doopers" even before she claimed to have invented the idea and mannerisms.
