Saturday “31” Challenge

While no clues were particularly clever, they were several challenging enough to make it worthwhile.

 
Toon modeled after Clara Bow   BOOP [needs "Betty"]
Nice weapon   ARME  [Nice clue, but it’s not English.  We do have arme blanche we stole from French.]
   
RATING:  Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun

I liked this one!  Interesting grid.  I've been reading Isaac Asimov's Atom, so I enjoyed filling in unstable isotope.  Mumbo jumbo was an interesting one also.  Juke box is a beauty, and it crossed with expo and Cujo, two other nice words.  I failed to get the SW corner.
