Doll & Tears. In one morning, Shirley Temple's crony and hero, Tap Dancer Bill Robinson, who was in The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel, taught her a soft-shoe number, a waltz clog and three tap routines. She learned them without looking at him, by listening to his feet. She appreciates the show-business slogan, "The show must go on" so thoroughly that it serves to repress her reactions to the bumps &; bangs sustained in acting.

To relieve these two works, the program ends with Ravel's "Rhapsodie Espagnole...
...which leaned Miss Helen Jepson. A pretty, blonde soprano who reached radio fame with Rudy Vallee and Paul Whiteman, Miss Jepson is beginning her second year with the Metropolitan Opera Company (TIME, Nov. 25). She sang Ah, forse e lui from La Traviata, an English folk song, a Viennese waltz song. Bankers whistled, shouted, cheered, stamped.
