Excerpt from a 1934 Paramount short that features a live-action "Betty Boop" performance. The excerpt features Bela Lugosi as Dracula plus a couple other Paramount stars of the time (Eddie Borden and Rex Bell). This is bizarre but interesting as one of only two live-action Betty Boop performances contemporary with the Fleischer cartoons. The other live-action Betty Boop (by Mae Questel) can be found here:    • Musical Justice (1931) - Part 2 of 2   Lugosi's entry in the IMDB doesn't mention this appearance. 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 likely Bonnie Poe.
