SHIRLEY TEMPLE IN CHINA

OHINA is the locale for Shirley Temple’s next picture. She even talks and sings in Chinese, and she takes charge of a fascinating romance, faces danger in glittering Shanghai, performs in a Chinese theatre, and, in short, plays the most unusual role she’s ever had, in her new picture, “Stow away.” , „ , Little Miss Temple plays the role of a little orphaned waif adrift in China, a victim of the bandits. She becomes an unwitting stowaway on a cruise liner on which Robert Young, a bored millionaire, Alice Faye, and the latter’s mother-in-law, are travelling. Shirley brings Alice and Young together much to the chagrin of the older woman, who promptly cables her son, Alice’s fiance, to meet the boat at Hong-Kong. Meanwhile, Shirley, Alice and Young go out to see the sights and have a wonderful time together, Shirley winning a prize in a local theatre by singing in Chinese. The manner in which Shirley finally helps her handsome benefactor win the hand of Alice Faye, who wa s promised to another, provides excellent entertainment.
