THE STATE THEATRE
SHIRLEY TEMPLE IN "OUR LITTLE GIRL." In "Our Little Girl," the- film to be screened at the State Theatre tonight and on Wednesday, the first since the child screen wonder received the special award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Shirley Temple gives a powerful portrayal of a child's heartbreak. 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 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 ready-made for the adorable star. It tells the story of a happy family disunited by suspicion, threatened with wreckage, and of a little girl who runs away from her home when she finds all the joy and safeguards 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.
