It reads:BRUNO: Slobokian Acrobatic Bear.
Bruno: [Turning to the audience] "Am I not magnificent?"
"Okay, little partner!" says the Russian bear. "Don't be for 'fraid! [sic] Nothing could happen to you!"
Bugs turns to the audience and says, "Dooon't you believe it!"
This was clearly a well-known catchphrase. But from what? This film may provide a clue: Don't You Believe It (1943) (1943). Did the narrator, John Nesbitt, use this phrase in the same echoing voice? Were there several "Passing Parade" shorts, like this one, that were devoted to debunking popular falsities?
Or did the catchphrase come from radio? A show called "Don't You Believe It" ran from 1938-1947.
Anyone who knows this answer for certain is invited to edit this entry. Note that Tom, from MGM's "Tom and Jerry" series, used the phrase twice. Once in Mouse Trouble (1944) (1944) and again in The Missing Mouse (1953) (1953).

Bruno neglects to catch Bugs during their trapeze act. But never fear. Bugs simply takes out his pocket watch, pulls out the springs, puts them on his feet and bounces to safety.
