Curious where you got the information about Kate Wright and which songs or cartoons she performed in. Kate Wright (aka Aunt Kitty) was my grandmother's sister-in-law, so I'm interested to find out more info.

Wow this is so cool... thanks for the link. I enjoyed the song and video!
No Problem, most of these style of songs can mainly be heard in betty boop Cartoons Becuse Betty Boop sings alot mainly the flapper times 1929 - 1930s

I just wished to know more about kate wright/catherine wright/Kahtryn wright

Seems she recorded them songs in 1929,im unsure how she got to voice betty boop

I might start link some other Boop Boop a Doop Styled Songs ^_^ on this same thread just becuse they are all linked to betty boop, also there would be no reason to make a new thread, im also glad this made one of Kathryn Wrights Relatives recall her

I love this style of music, when i hear it i think omg BETTY BOOP!!!!


The Only Boop Boop a Doopers who recorded on Records were

Helen Kane - Original Boop Boop a Doop Girl, But she Kinda didnt create the Booping, Little known african american Singer baby esther Booped before her
i wish i could see a clip of baby esther to see how she booped, seems its lost in time :(

Mae Questel - Recorded as Betty Boop on alot of records or with the voice style to certain shirley temple songs

Annette Hanshaw - Did her Baby Tone Helen Kane imitations

The Mystery Girl/ Aka kate wright - Imitating Helen kanes songs for a rival record company in 1929 same time as helen kane recorded her booping style songs , Eventually leading her to voice betty boop in a few shorts



The Other Boop Oop a Doopers

Bonnie Poe - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcg-Rt3PCTk

Bonnie poe can be heard in Paramount short: Hollywood on Parade (1934)
Which features a live action Betty Boop Preformance

This short aired on AMC in 1995 on a "Betty Boop 65th Birthday" special hosted by Richard Fleischer (Max's son). In introducing the short, Richard identified the woman playing Betty as "consummate flapper" Helen Kane, but that seems to be wrong (especially since Helen Kane was suing Paramount and Max Fleischer around the same time).

The Actress is in Fact Bonnie Poe


Little ann Rothschild aka little ann little - THis story may or may not be true so bare with me

Ann Rothschild broke into show business in the 1925 "Greenwich Village Follies" and was named "Little Ann Little" because she was only 4'10" tall and weighed 76 pounds. After "Dizzy Dishes" premiered, Paramount, who distributed Fleischer productions, held an audition for a girl to do the voice for the new character. Ann was chosen from among many other girls and provided the voice for a few cartoons before going on the road with a Betty Boop vaudeville act. The act consisted, in part, of a drawing demonstration by Pauline Comanor, a "movie cartoonist" who drew Ann as Betty and handed out the drawings to lucky audience members

Also i will need to add another link of the Artist Pauline comanor

http://www.chunkymonkey.com/aboutcreator.htm

Pauline went on the road, appearing with "Little" Anne Little, a Fleischer performer who sang Betty Boop songs, in a string of Paramount theaters where she would sketch some of the cartoon characters from Paramount shorts (including Popeye). They both finished the act together with a "boop-boop-a-doop

So seems the little Story was true


Margie hines - also known as majories Stated by raypointer that she Voiced betty boop first in Dizzy Dishes 1930

she even finished up the last series of betty boop Cartoons ,she can be seen in Harry Warren America's Foremost Composer (1933)
singing cheerful little earful and would you like to take a walk.

The main voices of betty boop or who sounded like her to the near future were/are


Desirée Goyette - Played betty boop in the romance of betty boop, the artwork in that cartoon reminded me of grim natwicks early 70s betty boop sketches xD

Melissah Fahn, i think she is the new voice of betty boop ,i hear her in most of the merchandise i have brought plus she was in betty boops hollywood mystery

Cheryl chase voice of angelica from rugrats, Recorded as Helen kane in some 90s Cd/Cassette tape, which sounded Boopish, becuse she booped


When i hear music like this i just think of Betty Boop

i cant wait for the Betty Boop Broadway, i hope the person they pick has all of betty boops style <3

I know Ginger pauley tried to do the betty boop/helen kane style in a few songs she preforms but she makes it sound to... umm broadway style

Annette Hanshaw was one of the first great female jazz singers. In the late 1920s she ranked alongside Ethel Waters, Bessie Smith and the Boswell Sisters. She also Did a Few Boopish Styled Songs in 1929, Mostly as a joke becuse she was friends with helen kane. she was renamed Gay Ellis (for sentimental numbers) and Dot Dare or Patsy Young (for her Helen Kane impersonations, Yes its Confusing :confused: Most Mistaken her For Helen Kane anyway xD, but i can tell the diffrences



I Wanna Be Loved By You, Annette Hanshaws Helen Kane impersonation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDq2Vm73cXE


I Wanna Be Bad, Another of Helen Kane impersonation, im really sad that Betty boop didnt do this song in one of her cartoons :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dub9JKBRg8g


He is So unusual 1929, another Helen kane boopish style song

I Faw Down and Go Boom, Annette hanshaw, i am unsure if this is a helen kane impersonation or not

Annette Hanshaw Only did a Few Boopish Styled Songs mainly just for 1929 then she went back to her normal jazz career for a while

then she Quit the Whole Show buisness of recording


Annette hanshaw the Flapper - here is a little video of her singing in her normal voice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrZwb-5jTpE

Annette Hanshaw, You wouldnt Fool me would you?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT5HY0WIL-A

;)Kate Wright was known as another voice for the cartoon character Betty Boop. It is Stated on the back of the Record i have that her name is Kathryn Wright, while reading on a List it States Her name is catherine Wright, which is pretty weird, but you know them days they always changed their names

It is unknown, but she did not do any title sequences. So her voice might be heard in the following betty Boop Cartoons.

Betty Boops Big Boss (1933) Betty Boops May Party (1933) Betty Boops Birthday (1933)
These could be Little ann rothschild for all i know, becuse she went on the road with artist pauline, although little ann little was signed after dizzy dishes so mabey little ann rothchild was heard in the earlier cartoons

Not much is known about Kate Wright but early before the 1930s she recorded as The Mystery Girl in 1929 by a rival record company, meaning a rival to Helen Kane, the original Boop-Boop-a-Doop-girl.

Recording as the Mystery Girl, possibly hoping the buyers would confuse her with Helen Kane. The fact that so few sides were released suggests that the attempt to exploit Helen Kanes fame was not successful.[original research?]

The Mystery Girl was really Kathryn Wright, known as Kate Wright, who was one of the Betty Boop voices. So few sides were issued by this artist, as her performances are very listenable.[clarification needed]

Songs Recorded by The Mystery Girl

I have these On a special Record Called Boop Boop a Doopers which features Helen Kane, Annette hanshaw, Mae Questel and The Mystery Girl its just i havnt the proper record to play them so i do not know what the song do i know what im doing sounds like

Last But Not Least The Well Known Mae Questel, Who was the Main Voice Of Betty Boop ;) Also known as the Betty Boop Girl.


Mae Questel Can be Seen Singing with Rudy Valle In musical Justice 1931(Live Action)
And Mae Questel Is Actually Playing Betty Boop, And She sings Dont Take My Boop Oop a Doop Away

Mae Questel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=192RSrR1zCI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx2GpjQrVvQ

Chameleon Days, a Joke song by mae questel close-up of the mock 78 rpm record reveals that the song is falsely credited to Helen Kane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZdpeCHUU_I

Last But not least Little known African american singer Baby esther ;)

There is No Videos on her that i know of
only paramount had a video on her in 1934 which they used for the helen kane trial, but i have a little information on baby esther

Baby esther was the first Boop Oop a Dooper

Fleischer Studios Defended theirself from helen kanes lawsuit by Screening a film of african american entertainer Baby Esther singing a song with the lyrics ;)Boop Oop a Doop;) which had become th signature of betty boops phrase. Baby Esthers manager als testified that Helen Kane and her manager saw baby esthers cabaret act in 1929

Soon after in 1929 helen kanes song was released where she had Sang Do Something with utter the Words Boop Boop a Doop, And Boop Oop a Doop

So basically Baby esther Booped before all the boop boop a doopers it would have been nice to have seen some footage of her booping becuse im a Boopaholic and all....

Here is two pictures of Kate Wright Who was the voice for betty boop im a bit confused becuse the first picture does not look like little ann rothschild so it must be kate wright ;)

margie hines was the first voice for betty boop in dizzy dishes (1930)
and later finished the series of betty boop cartoons in 1938-1939

She later went on to doing the voice of olive oyl and nothing more is known about her.

This is Actual Proof that Little ann little went on the Road as Betty Boop With Artist (pauline Comanor who was a fleischer Artist) and pauline comanor was the only female movie cartoonist at the time :o

So Little ann little actually played the role of betty boop in the cartoons and also outside of the cartoons how great was that?

http://api.ning.com/files/sZW6dE8rd8s*2Gr9zJDp*50TgS6T4ZV*ASavqRIOs7DTUN9vrA hDQSuKZtvIPxa10wC60uun8biOagdNig2bsDFkXsPb7-ZM/littleannieboop2.jpg

^ A bigger version of the picture

Ann rothschild gained fame nearly 50 years ago as the voice of Betty Boop
in (1931) and in (1933) which is where you can hear her in Betty Boops Big boss, May Party, and betty Boops birthday she has the most Squecky voice of all the other voices of betty boop

She traveled the country appearing in a variety of shows. she also appeared in a number of movies by paramount studios ( Hope the person who wrote this statement didnt mix little ann rothschild aka little ann little with
(ann little) < who was also signned with paramount but earlier than little ann rothschild had started voicing betty boop so its very confusing, you would like need a big book with credits and biographys
In the late 1940s Miss rothschild operated Betty Boop Studios in St. Petersburg, where she taught acting,singing, and dancing
in 1954 she was ordained a minister in the Unity church of christianity

Ann L rothschild a movie actress and one of the voices for betty boop died at the age of 71

^ above you can see bonnie poe sitting next to Mae Questel to the right and on the left is a picture of helen kane
Bonnie poe seems to look very diffrent to what she looks like when she plays betty boop in the paramount short
Bonnie poe can also be seen in the fleischer victory newsreel where she nudges margie hines with her arm when they all Boop together

nothing is known of bonnie poe but she did alot of betty boops voices in the betty boop cartoon and Bonnie poe had even played Betty Boop

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcg-Rt3PCTk

^ bonnie poe plays Betty Boop in the short Hollywood on Parade (1934)
Most people mistake her for Mae Questel or Helen kane becuse she wasnt well known

But if you watch a few cartoons say like betty boop in blunderland or Parade of the wooden soliders you can hear a perfect match with the voices

Bonnie Poe also Voiced Olive Oyl and Betty Boop in the Debut cartoon of Popeye the Sailor, Her olive oyl had a Bronx styled voice and she was always like Palooka! and Tanks! betty boop also speaks in a bronx style but a baby bronx style.

most people think mae questel did the voice of betty boop in popeye the sailors first cartoon where betty boop does the hula but its bonnie poe doing both the voices

mae questel did the voice of betty boop in the other hula hula, Bamboo isle;)

Everyone knows Mae Questels Story she was after all the main voice of betty boop in all the old cartoons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=192RSrR1zCI
^ Mae Questel Playing betty boop in musical justice 1931

Mae Questel was a great imitator and she went to a helen kane contest and did the best helen kane impersonation, in my betty boop Dvd it also states that kate wright and little ann little also entered the contest....:eek:
mae questel ended up winning the contest and the max fleischer creator of betty boop signed her up to voice betty boop she even looked like betty boop but most of the voices looked like betty boop
in fact the flapper hairstyle was populer from 1920s-1930s

^ Questels signature pose for the fleischer Newsreel she even had her hair done in the Style of betty boop

Mae Questel finished voicing betty boop in 1938 and margie hines continued doing the voice for betty boop until the last cartoons in 1939

But Mae Questel finished her role as Betty in Who framed Roger Rabbit 1989
As betty boop as a waitress she says (Works been kinda slow since Cartoons went to colour but i still got it) Boo Boo be Doop!

^ Bonnie Poe,Margie hines and Mae Questel to the left and Helen kane to the right this is another photo which states Boop Boopity Boop!

It seems to state margie hines name as marjorie hines seems all the voice actors of betty boop loved to keep changing their names take kate wright for example she called herself Catherine wright/ Kathryn wright and also kate wright

They must use Stage names
* Note mae Questels original name was Mae Kwestel
And Helen kanes original name was Helen Schroeder , after her divorce she still kept her stage name Helen Kane i know helen kane did not voice betty boop But she still was a Boop Boop a Dooper ;)

Kate Wright and Little ann rothschild dont seem to be in any of the photos even though they also was in the trial, but they appeared in the fleischer victory newsreel

This was one of a companys crafty attemps to cash in on helen kanes popularity. the mystery girl recorded as an ********* recorded for a rival record company hoping buyers would confuse the mystery girls songs with helen kanes. so many few sides were released which states this attempt to exploit helen kanes fame was not successful. the mystery girl was in fact kate wright who was also a voice for betty boop from (1931 - 1932) this song was recorded in (1929) also to mention kate wright also had entered the helen kane contest.
