April 1 and It's Betty Hoop's Birthday, Too RESIDES being April 1 don't let 'em fool you tomorrow will be Betty Bood's second birthday. Vou know Betty the handiwork of 100 artists working full time for five weeks on each of the comedy shorts so many of us like. Five hundred weeks for six minute film, many of us like. Five hundred weeks for a six minute film. The synchronization takes that long, starts wnen the animation is completed.

Just two years ago Betty popped out of Artist Max Fleischers inkwell and looped her way to fame. Not altogether alone, we nave you know. There's Mae Questel, Betty's voice. Sidney Skolosky of the N. Y.

Daily News recently had this to say of Miss. Questel (We know he won't mind): Betty Boop enjoyed only mild popularity until Mae Questel got the job. Then she became a favorite with the movie' fans. Miss Questel almost looks like Betty Boop. She is 5 feet 1 inch in height, has black, bobbed hair and sparkling eyes, and talks like Helen Kane.

In fact she began her theatrical career in an amateur impersonation contest in a Eronx theater and won a prize for mimicking the boop a doop gal. Up to that time she had been teaching elocution privately. So the voice you hear in that animated cartoon is that of an elocution teacher. But after she won that amateur contest Mae deserted the classroom for the stage. She started ont in vaudeville doing a single and later appeared with Waite Hoyt and Fred Coots when that act played the Palace.

She also played in Nancy Carroll's flicker "Wayward." Played the role of the cute, fresh chorine. It was when Max Fleisher was looking for a new Betty Boop he had tried a number but they all failed that she was sent to him. She was founded to be perfect for the part. She was Betty Boop. Fleisher will tell you she isn't Betty Boop, but that Betty Boop is Mae Questel! That's how good he believes she is.

In her job she must sign in German, Polish and Spanish. She got a medal at school for Spanish. She can and does do impersonations of Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, Fannie Brice, Lyda Roberti, Rudy Vallee and others. There's ho telling when, as Betty Boop, she may be called upon to do any of those characters. She doesn't care that the audience hears her but doesn't see her.

She doesn't insist on being that type of a star. Now, however, all her friends and her boy friend call her Betty Boop. She's only 19, went to Morris High School, and is Russian Polish. She smokes, takes a drink now and then, and chews gum constantly. Often while she is recording a number for the cartoon she forgets herself and keeps chewing gum.

Remember This One? Here's a letter, which may bring more: Mr. L. TJ. K. I have been waiting to read whether any column readers would write of seeing Isabelle Lowe in "Nettie EAGLE DANCELAND 13TH AND MARKET Tonite IS THE NITE.

I saw her in that play in the Opera House where the Penn Harris now stands back in 1905 or 1906. I was a very young girl. It was my first time to be in the theater.

I attended a matinee with two girls. We liked it very much. Pehraps there are some who will remember, or the one who sold the tickets. Your column in getting better. I read it before I read anything else.

COLUMN READER. Crying Her Way in! Scores of thespians have laughed their way into the headlines but it took Ann Harding to cry her picture on hundreds of first pages. When Geo. Bernard Shaw said mean things to her, she just went into her dressing room and cried and cried. Overnight scribes wrote and the story and picture took its place with stories of Congress, Hitler, etc.

"Song and Dance Man" Luk asked Director S. Henry Nor ell about the "Song and Dance Man," next week's play at the Ma pestic, starring Don Burroughs. He knows the play but wanted the directorial slant. "I'll tell you what I'll do," Henry said. "I'll write you a little piece." When anyone says "write" he gets an audience.

The director's slant tumbles Into tj'pe herewith: Have you ever gone to a show, and wondered just what were the real, off stage personalities of the various players you have seen? Dit it ever occur to you that they are just human beings, like yourself, with all the petty likes and dislikes, good points and bad, that you encounter in everyone in the world? The personality of player once the grease paint is removed and he is "all washed up," to use a trade expression. On tho OcrccnThis VccIi!

And, furthermore, the actor is thoroughly human. If he wasnt human to "the core, he couldn't be a successful actor.

In fact, be couldn't be an actor at all! From out of the store house of his vast experiences behind the scenes, from a life crowded with many memories, George M. Cohan, master playwright of America, has composed a story of the vaudeville player. It is called "The Song and Dance Man," and it is whispered that at least part of it is through personal experience. For, before Cohan became America's idol, with a following of hundreds of thousands of theatergoers, before he became a famous playwright, a famous producer and a famous actor, he himself was a so called "song and dance man." It is an entirely new angle, so far as the stage is concerned. But instead of making the play "shoppy," that is, full of "shop talk" which would be incomprehensible to the layman, Cohan has builded it of the surest materials in the world laughs, and love and a few tears.
