"...Exit light,
Enter night.
Take my hand,
Off to never never land.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Pray the lord my soul to keep.
If I die before I wake,
Pray the lord my soul to take.
Hush little baby, don't say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard.
It's just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head.
Exit light,
Enter night.
Grain of sand.
Exit light,
Enter night.
Take my hand,
We're off to never never land."

“Boop-Oop-a Doop-Girl”

On the 16th of January 1932, seventy five years ago, the Max Fleischer Talkartoon Boop-oop-a-Doop was released.

Betty Boop was modeled by Grim Natwick, after singer / actress
Helen Kane.

He used a image of a sheet cover he had found of her and took Kane's physical features and blended them with a poodle. That's why Betty looks more like a dog then a human being in the first cartoons. In Boop-Oop-a-Doop Betty is formed as the beloved Boop-boop-a-doop girl as we know her.

Helen Kane made a lot of recordings with Leonard Joy and his Orchestra around 1930. It's funny to listen to, because her voice sounds like Betty's ( or is it the other way around?). Betty's voice was done by Mae Questel, who made some records too as Betty Boop.

By 1932, with Boop-Oop-a-Doop as a good example, Betty's character was completely modified, no longer a poodle, but a femme fatale as we know her.

Her cartoons were labeled Talkartoons. She also made Screen Songs, films concentrated on a song, to sing along with the bouncing ball.

When you watch these early Betty Boop cartoons, you will be astonished about the rather open sexual themes. In the mid 1930s, with a more stricter censorship laws for films, her garter, short skirts and decolletage were gone and she became a cartoon figure suitable for little children.
