Helen Kane grew fatter. Her infantilism grew less appropriate and profitable. Betty Boop remained babyish, alert, and so prosperous that her name has lately become almost as familiar in Manhattan courtrooms as that of Ella Wendel. Last month, Producer Max Fleischer whose firm makes Betty Boop cartoons, distributes them through Paramount, successfully sued a doll manufacturer for imitating Betty Boop. Last week it was Producer Fleischer and Paramount Publix Corp. who were sued by Helen Kane for $250,000 for copying her voice and mannerisms...
Above Schneider-Creusot stands the Comite des Forges and above this all-powerful iron and steel organization stands the shadowy figure of Frangois de Wendel.

A more important reason, to her, was that the Tobeys might have a yard to play in. She died two years...
...which observers once thought would have to pay the world's highest animal income tax, pays none. Tobey, last of a succession of 18 similarly-named French poodles, was not even mentioned in the will disposing of the late, eccentric Ella Virginia von Echtzel Wendel's $40,000,000 estate. Grown fat and phlegmatic in his ninth year, Tobey still lives in the ugly old house on Fifth Avenue at 39th Street, with two servants whose only duties are to care...
