Remembering Shirley Temple...

O
The first Shirley Temple dolls that were released wore a
coin dotted dress similar to the one that Shirley wore in the
movie Stand Up and Cheer. This 16-inch Shirley Temple
Cheer
doll was only marked COP IDEAL NOVELTY AND TOY
CORPORATION N&TCo. on the back of her head.

SUMMER 2014
n February 10, 2014, the most beloved child
star in film history passed away. For many, it
was the end of an era. Yet, Shirley Temple,
with her spunk, dimpled smile, fifty-six curls and sunny
optimism will continue to live on in the hearts of many
for generations to come.
Shirley Jane Temple was born on April 23, 1928 at the
cusp of the Great Depression. Soon the world economy
would be in a tailspin and more than 25-percent of the
workforce in the United States would end up unemployed.
Under these circumstances, people wanted nothing more
than to forget their troubles. What better way to escape
than to go to the movies? For a few hours one could be
immersed in a world of laughter, song and dance.
By 1931 Shirley Temple was enrolled in Meglin's
Dance Studio. It was there that she was spotted by a
film producer. Drawn to her chubby cheeks, dimples and
spunky grin, he hired her for his series of short films.
Although the Baby Burlesk films were not the most
appropriate roles for a three year old, these films did
help to supplement the Temple family income. Shirley
sparkled on film and soon appeared in other short films
including Dora's Dunkin Donuts, Merrily Yours, and
Pardon my Pups. These short films were usually shown
before the main attraction as a way to entertain an
audience as they were coming into the theater.
