    Betty is voiced by Mae Questal. Jack Mercer does the cat, canary, and the monster in this,his first film. He went on to be the most famous voice of Popeye, as well as Grampy. It is a general consensus among jazz collectors that the soundtrack is provided by Don Redman's band (McKinney's Cotton Pickers) or members of such, which is likely since, as well as "I Heard" for Fleischer, they also did session work for Van Beuren.

    I've come back a hundred times just so I could hear Betty Boop's rendition of Penthouse Serenade. She was voiced by Mae Questal, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Mae also did the singing. The song When We're Alone as they called it more often in its early days, starts at 2:22. Consistent with the 78 recordings of the time, the orchestra would play the entire song through before the vocals began.
    EDIT: I just watched Mae on a 1978 Mike Douglas show (Janet from Three's Company was there) and Betty Boop's singing was CLEARLY also Mae Q. Look up the clip...it's fascinating. She sings as Boop in the clip. They actually made a caricature out of Mae to use for Betty Boop's looks.

      I honestly don't understand why you assume like this. It's as reliable as saying that Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter or something. Any time he was, was only in fiction; and so the real man wasn't actually a vampire hunter.

      @@Barakalover3 It might have turned into one, but then tell me why, in Uncle Tom's Cabin (which was penned in the mid 1800s,) there are many women referred to as "Mammy" _even by their own Children_ when the book was intended as an anti-slavery book and a Christian book at the same time.
      It seems like part of it was actually normal at the time, and it was not always a slur, and now people just don't want to be reminded of it. I can understand part of the argument against it, at least. But please don't pretend you lived through it in those years and you have first hand experience with it in those years, because you don't.
      Online, I've seen some non-seasoned kid arguing against a woman in her 80s that "the 1950s were suppressive to women" when the elderly lady was actually saying "What are you talking about? I was happy as a mother." Point being, please don't be that kid in this situation. I'd think that *the actual woman who lived through it* would have a better say in it than some 16 year old who believes too much of what he listens to.
