“I’m too pooped to Boop,” she said, quoting from The Romance of Betty Boop. And here’s Betty’s theme song and catchphrase: “Don’t take my Boop-Oop-a-Doop away.” She acknowledged Mae Questel entirely for the voice impression, but said that Questel and Maggie Simpson were mixed together in her impersonation. You can watch the video “here” on her official page.
Fun Facts:
Cartwright and Questel both provided voices for cartoon characters in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Julie Kavner the voice of Marge Simpson worked alongside Questel in 1989 on New York Stories.
Cheryl Chase, who works with Cartwright on the Rugrats is Questel’s spiritual successor.
It is the first short to be identified as a “Betty Boop” cartoon even though it is not Betty Boop’s debut appearance. Since this is her first appearance in her own series, this short is considered to be her first appearance under the “Betty Boop” animated trademark.
Billy Boop, her baby brother, also makes his debut.
A vaudeville theater hosts an appearance by Betty Boop. She mimics real-life vocalists in her “Betty Boop’s Imitations” performance, including celebrities like Fanny Brice and Maurice Chevalier.
Songs such as “That’s My Weakness Now,” “I’m An Indian,” and “Hello, Beautiful” are among those she sings.
The cartoon audience roars with laughter and applause. In this episode, Betty Boop’s impressions are based on Mae Questel’s actual impersonations.
Rudy Vallée plays the court’s judge in Musical Justice, while His Connecticut Yankees serve as the court’s jury. Three distinct cases are heard by the judge. In the last case, State v. Betty Boop, the judge personally informs Mae Questel’s character Miss Boop that she has disregarded every musical rule. Boop’s performance of “Don’t Take My Boop-Oop-A-Doop Away” leads to a not guilty decision.
(Please note this is not a real song, it is completely edited. It is not A.I. either, Questel’s voice was literally cut and merged.)
This version of the song used to play in a “store or specific area” with new vocals recorded in 1998 by an “imitator” but let me just say Questel’s sounds ten times better. No disrespect to the imitator. It would be hard to beat the original “Boop-Boop-Be-Doop” girl in that category as she originated the role.
Even myself, I don’t think I could do Mae Questel justice.
I decided to work on a new updated version of Betty Boop’s theme song featuring the vocals of Questel. People probably won’t see it. My account doesn’t notify people anymore. That’s what Google and YouTube do to users overtime, when you don’t log in. They stop people from getting your notifications.
Which is fine. I did this for myself, and possible fans of Questel. Not anyone else. Thanks to those people who added hearts, or gave one of the uploads a thumbs up.
As these will be my final uploads.
The views don’t matter, what matters to me is the tribute.
There is a blunder and or small error in the video, I forgot to remove the text in the middle. For anyone who hasn’t noticed, the text is the Cuphead font. It is a sly reference to Max Fleischer’s creation living on in something new.
Not just the Fleischers but Ub Iwerks, Warner Bros., Van Beuren Studios, Terrytoons, Famous Studios, and le sigh… even Walt Disney Studios. It was more or less the Golden age of Animation. To solely give the Fleischers full credit, when Disney actually “toppled” them, would be obvious misinformation.
There’ll never be another Betty like this. Of course I like a majority of the Betty Boop girls. Well not all of them, but a majority. You’ll certainly know if I like them or not. But can’t be biased.
Have to continue to “Boop-Boop-Be-Doop” knowledge and wish for the best for Betty Boop, as the character lives on for Questel, who originated the most notable role way back in 1931.
Of course there were and are many more Betty Boop girls, but Questel made the character iconic.
A good example would be the reboot musical. Questel is being credited none stop in the news articles for originating the role, and also tagged in the videos.
Helen Kane, the “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” girl, hosted “Helen Kane Impersonation Contests” in the 1920s and 1930s to find a double of herself. The one who could sing and act in a way most resembling Helen Kane received a cash prize and was given a personal audition before the actress. A preliminary contest was held in the ballroom, where judges selected five girls from the total entries. These five appeared on stage with Miss Kane. One of the girls was eliminated each night thereafter until only the winner remained. The girls who were eliminated were given prizes and received an autographed picture of Helen Kane.
The initial entry age range was 6 to 16, and later 4 to 18. The contests ran from 1929 to 1938. Winners were awarded a cash prize, a dress or jewelry, whereas children were awarded with toys. Several of the women who entered these contests went on to become the voice of Betty Boop. As the animated character who debuted in the Talkartoon series debut animation Dizzy Dishes. This concept was created by Grim Natwick in 1930, and was partially based on Helen Kane’s “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” success.

Helen Kane: “Margie Hines won three ‘Boop-Boop-a-Doop’ contests. I think she won one of them or two in Brooklyn, and one at the Riverside Theatre, New York City. Let me see, where was I? In 1931, I should say, or 1932. I don’t remember?“

Helen Kane: “They all won Helen Kane contests and I gave them my picture and wished them luck. The verdict was a great shock to me.

Fleischer et al., 248 A.D. 554 (New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division New York State Library, Albany. 130.)

Helen Kane Makes Formal Complaint About Mae Questel:
Kane stated that she did not want her name associated with Mae Questel because Questel had been subjected to a great deal of exploitation.
After competing in the Helen Kane Contests, substituting for Kane and being given great media coverage, Helen Kane filed a complaint against Mae Questel in 1930 for using the “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” girl title in her act. Indicating that Kane was not happy with Questel, as some media outlets were claiming that Questel was better than the original. Kane noted that she was not in favor of her name in a tie-up with Mae Questel, as Questel had been given much exploitation and also covered a show for Kane when she was taken ill. Kane’s request was heeded, and Questel had to change her title.
Winner of “Helen Kane Impersonation Contest” Mae Questel, the chic charming singer of sparkling songs.
The “Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl” and or “Prize Winning Boop-Boop-a-Dooper” was removed from Questel’s title because of a complaint that Helen Kane made.
Claire Bart was a Helen Kane look-alike and sound-alike who entered a “Helen Kane Impersonation Contest” and won first place. She was dubbed Helen’s best impersonator by Helen herself. Claire would go on to conduct “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” contests for local girls. According to a 1930 newspaper article, Bart helped promote the release of the 1930 film Dangerous Nan McGrew.
In 1930 Claire Bart was introduced at the Chicago Oriental, and imitated Helen Kane to perfection. In fact, she was chosen from a contest which was instigated to find a double for Helen, both in manner of singing and looks. The critics weren’t sure about the looks, but it seems as though it might have been part of the bargain. Bart warbled prettily to Mark Fisher, singing “He’s So Unusual” and “Ain’tcha” so realistically that they wanted to leave their seats and go right up and show her that “he” wasn’t unusual at all. But they restrained themselves.
Helen Kane Contest Winner Coming Here:
Helen Kane Contest Winner Coming Here (1930)
And then there’ll be a contest for girls here.
Several weeks ago the oriental Theater at Chicago held a contest to determine the most likely personality resembling the famous “Poo-Poo-Padoo” girl, Helen Kane.
After interviewing hundreds of applicants, trying out their voices and making a comparative selection, the contest dwindled down to some twenty contestants.
The elimination process was next resorted to and it remained for the judges to award the capital prize to a Miss Claire Bart, who impersonated Helen Kane to almost perfection.
This finished, Miss Barte was awarded a week’s engagement at the beautiful Oriental Theater, after which she began a tour of the entire Publix circuit of theaters.
As soon as this is completed Miss Barte will move westward to the Paramount studios in Hollywood to enter talking picture production. Directors who have seen this young lady work are unanimous in their respect pf her ability and consider her a great find.
Consistent with the plans of the Public circuit, Miss Barte has been requested to appear in Muncie at the Rivoli Theater, where she will present her performance, such as won her the distinction of Helen Kane’s double. Muncie dates have been set for Sunday and Monday, August 17 and 18.
Msis Barte also plans two contests while in Muncie, one for children under twelve years of age and another for girls, twelve and over.
These contests will be arranged in an effort to determine the Helen Kane types of Muncie and prizes will be awarded winners.
If you’re a Helen Kane double, or can do the Poo Poo Padoop girl’s songs, get in touch with William Exton, city manager for Publix Theaters in Muncie, at the Rivoli Theater and list your name. You will be given a chance to compete with Miss Barte when she makes her personal appearance here.
Tempting Reward Awaits City Girl Who Qualifies as Helen Kane Double:
Seeking Helen Kane Double (1930)
“How is the contest coming?”
That was the first question asked by Helen Kane, celebrated radio, record, stage and motion picture star, when she arrived here this morning preparatory to her personal appearances at the Indiana for the coming week.
“I am most anxious to see what my best double in the state of Indiana looks like,” she said, “and I only hope that she makes a bit hit at her stage appearance Monday night.”
The Indianapolis Times is sponsoring the contest to help Miss Kane find the Indiana girl who most nearly looks like, sings like and acts like herself. To the winner will go the honor of a personal audition by Miss Kane, $25 in cash, and an appearance on the Indiana stage at the last show Monday night. Cash prizes also will be awarded to the next four best.
Preliminaries for the contest will be privately held in the ballroom Saturday night at 8 o’clock, with Miss Kane, Newell Goodrich, Charlie Davis, Walter D. Hickman and Don Hasting as judges.
At that time the five best will be selected and they in turn will appear in the finals on the stage Monday night. In the finals the audience will be the final judge.

Eleanor Sandusky Best Boop-Dooper:
Hoosier Helen Kane (1930)
Two tie for second place and Helen Kane provides addition prize.
Meet the Indianapolis understudy to the lass who made “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” a college cheer. In the Indiana theater stage Monday night Miss Eleanor Sandusky, 945 Congress avenue, sang “Ain’tcha?” so tantalizingly that the folks out front gave her the title of the Hoosier Helen Kane.
Miss Kane, featured in the stage production at the Indiana this week, presented Eleanor with the $25 first prize in The Times-Indiana Helen Kane contest.
Charlie Davis, master of ceremonies, who referred the finals of the contest, was willing to surrendered his judgeship when forced to make a decision on second place. Equal applause boosted Bobbie Robinson and Mary Jane Kersey for that honor.
Miss Kane saved the day, declaring both of them second place winners, and providing a $10 prize for one of the girls while the other received The Times award of that amount.
Jeanne Gamso, who also chose “Ain’tcha?” for her song and dance, was third, and Louise Carter, singing “I Owe You,” was fourth.
Correction Now Is Made:
Correction Now Is Made (1930)
An error was made in Tuesday’s Times in giving the address of Miss Eleanor Sandusky, winner of the Helen Kane contest at the Indiana. It should have been 2740 Barth instead of 945 Congress avenue. Beg pardon.
In 1931, Questel was so successful at imitation that she was given this review:
Mae Questel, who won a Helen Kane contest by “out-Boop-Oop-a-Dooping” the original “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” girl, will give another series of imitations of movie stars as the featured artist on the program over KSTP at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The program on which she appears is culled entirely from hits from the talkies.
Surrounding Miss Questel’s offerings will be an orchestral program by the ensemble orchestra under the direction of Don Voorhees, and vocal selections featuring Luda Bennett, soprano, and Frank Parker, tenor, and the male quartet. Edmund (Tiny) Ruffner will be guest announcer.
Mae Questel will present two of her best-liked impersonations, those of Maurice Chevalier and Marlene Dietrich. She will sing the number from “The Fallen Angel” which definitely established Miss Dietrich’s stardom. “Falling in Love Again,” and Chevalier’s “My Ideal” from the picture “Playboy of Paris.”
According to a 1934 statement by Helen Kane, she was aware that Margie Hines was the voice of Betty Boop. But would not acknowledge Mae Questel. Kane later heard Betty Boop being introduced by Max Fleischer on radio, and she wanted to know who this Betty Boop character was so she had her people investigate.
When Kane was asked directly how she heard of Betty Boop, Kane stated that she had heard Betty Boop and Max Fleischer on radio and wanted to find out who was singing like her. It turns out that the voice belonged to none other than Mae Questel.
However Kane had to have known who Questel was as she had previously met her, if Kane did not know, she would have never been able to have made a complaint against Questel for using the “Boop Girl” title in 1930. Helen Kane met Bonnie Poe, Mae Questel and Margie Hines in 1929. And all three of the girls competed in her Helen Kane impersonation contests.
At the RKO Fordham Theatre, Mae Questel had previously taken home the first prize of $100 in a Helen Kane impersonation competition. Helen Kane signed a piece of paper for her there that said, “To Another Me.”
While working in vaudeville Mae heard there was an audition taking place for the role of Betty Boop so she decided to audition and won the role.
The contests were held by Kane was to help these girls start their careers in show business, and to give back to the community because Kane grew up poor and wanted to help poor girls from Brooklyn.
In the final contest held at The Riverside Theatre in New York, Questel came first, and Bonnie Poe and Margie Hines tied in second place. Helen Kane first saw Bonnie Poe impersonating her in an act. She told Poe that she thought that it would be a very good idea if she joined the contest.
In 1932, Kane and Poe later played the same bill in Chicago for three weeks. Prior to suing the Fleischer Studios and Paramount Pictures for the Betty Boop cartoons, Kane actually allowed impersonation. A year after this, Poe became one of the many official voices of Betty Boop.
Claire Bart was made a special judge by Helen Kane and was later sent to hold “Poo Poo Padoo” contests in Indiana.
Margie Hines entered several (three according to Helen Kane) “Boop-a-Doop” contests and then went on to create the initial voice for Betty Boop. The voice Hines used was similar to her Helen Kane imitation, however it was her own baby-doll voice, not Kane’s.
After winning a few contests, Mae Questel became a substitute for Helen Kane when Kane couldn’t appear on stage, and people couldn’t tell the difference. A lot of people actually thought Questel was Kane, especially when she toured with Waite Hoyt and J. Fred Coot and then debuted in their Vitaphone Varieties film short titled A Battery of Songs.
By 1930, Helen Kane became envious of Mae Questel using the “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” girl title at an RKO theatre where Questel had taken her place and made a complaint. Kane’s request was heeded and Questel’s title was changed. Reason for this was in most of the papers from 1929-1930 were saying that Mae had surpassed the chubby Helen, much to Helen’s disdain.
According to the media, Mae Questel was the best Helen Kane impersonator, but according to Helen Kane, Claire Bart as picked by herself was the best Helen Kane impersonator.
Holding the contests allowed girls to impersonate Helen and copy her act. Kane claimed earlier in her career that she didn’t mind people imitating her, but later got upset when most of the work in Hollywood for “Boop-a-Doop” singers was going to the impersonators and not her.
In 1932 when Mae Questel debuted as Betty Boop on radio with Max Fleischer, Helen wanted to know who “Betty Boop” was and why she was singing like her.
One of the “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” contest advertisements tells readers to remember that Clara Bow, Helen Kane, Claire Bart and many others broke into the pictures by entering contests.
When Helen Kane’s popularity died out her “Boop-Boop-a-Doop” look-alike contests were replaced by “Betty Boop Impersonation Contests” which ran around the same time, in which played out similar only instead of finding someone who looked like Helen Kane, the winner was someone who looked most like Paramount’s animated star Betty Boop. The Betty Boop contests ran from the 30s to present day, the most notable contest held was the 1995 “Boop-A-Like Contest”.
According to Jo Miller’s granddaughter, her grandmother entered either a Helen Kane contest or competition for the voice of Betty Boop, one held by the Fleischers and Paramount in which Little Ann Little had entered prior to becoming the 1933 voice of Betty Boop.
Patsy Britten competed in Seattle against 9-year-old Edith Barstow and 6-year-old Norma Nellis at the Metropolitan Theatre (4th Avenue and University Street) broadcast by KPCB. Britten sang “I Have To Have You” backed by the Max Dolin Orchestra. The audience demanded an encore, so Britten sang Helen Kane’s current hit at the time, “Dangerous Nan McGrew,” and won a Victor Micro-Synchronous radio.
Mae Questel the Betty Boop girl is the featured artist on the “It’s A Long Time Between Kisses” song sheet by the Marlo Music Corporation. With art by Alvan Cordell “Hap” Hadley.
According to Walt Disney. He was correct however the horrible things he allegedly did in real life to children, for example Bobby Driscoll (this has been backed up by Jane Wyman and others) and also all the sexist, hateful and racist references he put into his cartoons, suggests that Walt Disney was a hypocrite. A book written about Disney titled “Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination” written by Neal Gabler who got permission from Walt Disney’s family paints Walt as an uncaring husband, bullying boss and rabid anti-communist witch-hunter.
Here’s a a legit quote from Walt Disney:
“Girls bored me – they still do. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I’ve ever known.”
Sorry learning that Walt Disney was a “elihpodep” kind or irks me.
Anyway…
Walt Disney asked Grim Natwick the initial creator of Betty Boop to draw the concept art for Snow White and animate the character for his film. In early concept artworks, Snow White looked identical to Betty and was more sexier in comparison, this apparently enraged Walt Disney according to his former staff members, who are obviously now all deceased. Actually everyone who worked for both studios – all dead.
Adriana Caselotti later admitted that the speaking voice that she used for Snow White was inspired by Betty Boop, Caselotti just imitated Betty Boop but without the Brooklyn accent.
🖤 Margie Hines created the voice for Betty Boop in 1930? 🖤
You can hear her as Betty in:
Dizzy Dishes, Barnacle Bill, Mysterious Mose, Accordion Joe, Grand Uproar, Bimbo’s Express, Betty Co-Ed, My Wife’s Gone to the Country, Bimbo’s Initiation, Kitty From Kansas City, Jack and the Beanstalk, Mask-A-Raid, Dizzy Red Riding Hood, Minding the Baby, In the Shade of the Old Apple Sauce, That Old Gang of Mine, Little Annie Rooney, The Herring Murder Case, Swim or Sink, Betty Boop’s Bizzy Bee, Wait Till The Sun Shines Nellie, Boop-Oop-a-Doop, The Dancing Fool, A Hunting We Will Go, I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead You Rascal You, Any Rags?, Sally Swing, Rhythm on the Reservation, Musical Mountaineers, My Friend the Monkey, On with the New, Thrills and Chills and So Does An Automobile.
She also did voices for the Van Beuren Studios and some early Paul Terry cartoons. Hines is also the “operatic” sounding voice in multiple cartoons. Think of Disney’s character Snow White.
Hines was a multi-voice.
She could imitate ZaSu Pitts, Mae West, Helen Kane and more.
Hines apparently had a gorgeous neutral singing voice which was very womanly and deeper in comparison to her Betty Boop voice.
