Baby Be Good
Betty's skirt has lengthened by 1935, and in this 'toon she's settled down to domestic life, trying to get a baby boy to go to sleep. Since she's the only one home, it's unclear whether she's mom or babysitter, but given Betty's character I like to think this is the fruit of some scandalous liason in her garter-flashing days. marvelously, she glares at the tyke with barely disguised malice when he pulls her hair (that hair!) and she flounces around the house like a very single girl. To get him in line she tells him an instructive tale about a bad boy who nearly gets devoured by a lion. In the story sequence Betty appears as a fabulous fairy angel watching over him -- she looks like Botticelli designed her outfit!
