| Voices of Betty Boop: Mae Questel, Margie Hines and Bonnie Poe[1] |

The Court solemnly watched Helen Kane's "Boop-Boop-a-Doop" in a 1929 model comedy, Pointed Heels, and compared her baby-voice art with that exhibited by the "Betty Boop" of the animated cartoons.
The show lasted two and one-half hours. Helen's lawyers offered the exhibit to prove her contention that Max Fleischer, of Fleischer Studios, and the Paramount-Publix Corporation, had caricatured her in the cartoon in "unfair competition."
The exhibit, viewed for the most part in silence although several of the lawyers joined with Helen in laughing at her own screen wit was staged on the twelfth floor of the Paramount Building in Times Square. Louis lawyer for Paramount-Publix, acted as master of ceremonies.
The three real life Baby Boops Mae Questel, Margie Hines, and Bonnie Poe, who at one time or another gave the animated "Betty Boop" a voice are "not concerned" in the "unfair competition" half of Miss Kane's suit, they were not at the afternoon performance. They were at the morning session[2] in Justice McGoldrick's court.
