Betty Boop: Admission Free

We have not had a Betty Boop short in a while, so here is one from 1932.  Two barely related stories here.  Betty is a change girl at a penny arcade, so we get a lot of gags about the arcade machines, including some with Bosko.  Then Bosko tries his luck at the shooting gallery, and ends up chasing one of the target rabbits into the woods.  It then becomes a brief hunting story.  From the Internet Archive, here is Betty Boop and Bosko in Admission Free.
