AT THE STRAND.
ADORABLE SHIRLEY TEMPLE. IN “OUR LITTLE GIRL." “Our Little Girl.” Shirley Temple’s greatest picture, comes to the Strand theatre, Pukekohe, tomorrow (Saturday) and Monday. When those she loves grope in the shadows of misunderstanding. Shirley meets the crisis with a brave smile. She plays at being happy to rebuild a shattered dream.
“Our Little Girl” is a poignant story, tenderly conceived, freighted with heart-tugs yet leaving the audiences, from all reports, strangely happy.
Hundreds of novels and short stories in print and typescript were read before this particular story was selected for Shirley. When the list thinned down to thirty, the producer discovered that “Our Little Girl” was readymade for the adorable star.
It tells the story of a happy family disunited by suspicions, threatened with wreckage, and of a little girl who runs away from her home when she finds all the joy and safeguard gone. Alone Shirley Temple suffices to make any picture popular. But Producer Edward Butcher has loaded “Our Little Girl" with talent. Rosemary Ames plays Shirley’s mother; Joel McCrea, who needs no introduction, plays her father. An excellent supporting programme includes two comedies, two cartoons, a scenic and two newsreels.
