Very early incarnations of Bimbo and Betty...and they didn't quite know what to do with them yet.
28 September 2014
When this picture begins, it says that it's a 'Bimbo cartoon'. However, Bimbo the Dog is NOT to be seen and it's instead of other weird incarnation of the character--one that looks nothing like him. Additionally, Betty Boop is in her early form--with strange little dog ears instead of human ones.

The film consists of this Bimbo trying to sneak into the theater. Eventually he is successful and he sees several acts--including Betty singing a number and showing off even more skin than usual (her dress keeps dropping in the front and you see her bra) and a stage hypnotist. There is a LOT of singing, the gags mostly fall flat and the overall enjoyment level is pretty low compared to the later Betty Boop cartoons. Worth seeing if your goal in life is to see every Betty Boop cartoon--otherwise, you might do best to skip this one. Overall, nice animation (as always) but not much in regard to plot or entertainment value.
