Garlanded with such laurels at an age when her contemporaries become inflated with conceit about a gold star on the report card, it might seem natural for the most celebrated child alive to be in private life also the most objectionable sample of precocity, weight for age, who ever gave sharp answers to her betters. Such is not the case. Disappointing as the case may be to child psychologists of certain schools and persons judicious enough to distrust the customary vaporings of cinema fan magazines, Hollywood chatter columnists and professional pressagents, Shirley Temple is actually a peewee paragon...
