[78-L] Boop Continues

[Malcolm Rockwell]

So, what happened to the film clip, and what film was it from? UTube has 
a few Helen Kane items posted and some note the clip, the lawsuit and 
also to a French film "Bou Bou Ba Ba Bou" (sic?), but not the original film.
Andy Sannella played steel guitar on "Get Out And Get Under The Moon."
Also check Kane and Questal in Rust's CED. Kane stopped making records 
in July 1930, around the time the first "doggie Boop" was made, and 
Questal didn't begin making records until Feb. 1933.
