Description
Easily the most famous child star of all time, Shirley Temple kept America entertained through the darkest days of the Great Depression. This delightful collection of rare shorts and features spanning the 1930s showcases Shirley's astonishing talents. DVD #1 Volume #1 showcases many of Shirley Temple's earliest short films. In Glad Rags To Riches , from 1932, Temple plays burlesque star Diaperina at the Lullaby Lobster Palace nightclub. But she gets over her head when forced to choose between the wicked club owner's proposal of marriage or the love of her poor country-boy Elmer. Also from 1932 is the military spoof War Babies . Shirley Temple plays a hip-swingin' French dancer delighting the hearts of war-torn soldiers as they come into Buttermilk Pete's Caf for their midday milk break. In Pie Covered Wagon from the same year , we find the adorable Shirley Temple battling both little Indians and petite cowboys as she travels in a wagon train across the High Plains. From 1933 comes Dora's Dunking Doughnuts , one of the funniest Shirley Temple shorts ever made. Also starring Andy Clyde as a befuddled schoolteacher who takes his students into the big city to perform on a live radio show to promote his sweetheart Dora's Dunking Doughnuts. DVD #2 Volume #2 is the second collection of Shirley Temple's short films from the early 1930's. Starting the program is Polly Tix In Washington , in which four year-old Temple plays high-priced prostitute Polly Tix. And when corrupt bureaucrats pay her to influence the vote of a backwoods politician, Temple must choose either fortune or justice in this film short from a more innocent time. Next is 1932's Kid In Hollywood, where Shirley Temple, alongside her usual cast of toddlers, stars as an aspiring actress who's given her big shot at fame when the star of the movie doesn't feel like performing
