Synopsis
Betty Boop appears on stage in a vaudeville theater. Her act consists of imitations of real-life singers, including Helen Kane, Fanny Brice and Maurice Chevalier. The cartoon audience enthusiastically cheers and applauds.
Notes and comments
- When the short was originally released, it contained a scene showing Betty singing Helen Kane's song "That's My Weakness Now". Kane, who was involved in a lawsuit over Betty's resemblance to her, complained, and the studios were forced to remove the scene from future prints.
- Clips from this short were later reused in 1934's Betty Boop's Rise to Fame.
