SHIRLEY TEMPLE IN “POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL”

It’s always an event when Shirley Temple comes to town, but “The Poor Little Rich Girl,” is something in a way of a celebration', a new milestone in entertainment. | For she gives the performance, of 'her life in this new film and, to top it oil,' she’s surrounded by a gallery of Hollywood's brightest stars including Ap.cc Faye, Gloria Stuart, Jack Haley and Michael Whalen. | Add to the star and the cast a modern, stirring, romantic story and five bubbling new song hits and you have 'a few of the reasons why “The Poor

Little Rich Girl” is being hailed so highly. Jack Haley and Alice Faye, an out-of-work vaudeville team, notice Shirley singing and dancing. Haley is inspired with the thought that she is just what the act needs, and despite Miss Faye’s protestations, she is taken into the act. The trio are successful in a radio audition and arc hired by Claude Gillingwater. Shirley performs astonishing dances that top everything she has ever dqne before and she sings five new songs including “When I’m With You,” “But Definitely,” “You Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby,” “Oh, My Goodness” and “Military Man.”
