Everybody’s happy in the
Shirley Temple home, or rath-
er in the home where Shirley’s
the sensational but unspoiled
baby.
The six-year old child star,
whose next picture, “Our Lit-
tle Girl” comes to the Corrigan
Theatre this week end, is hav-
ing a grand time at the Fox
Movietone lot, and considers
work as play.
The whole family is happy
—who wouldn’t be under the
circumstances?
Mrs. Temple still belongs to
the same organization she did
before Shirley became noted.
She has the same good friends
and neighbors.
Daddy Temple still holds his
job at the bank, where busi-
ness is booming because of
Shirley.
Airs. Temple receives a nice
big salary for looking after
Shirley at the studio, and the
child’s money is being put
aside in a trust fund, so she
will be rich when she grows up.
"Our Little Girl,” an Edward
Butcher production directed
by John Robertson, is based on
Florence Leighton Pfalzgraf’s
story, selected from hundreds.
In this appealing picture, well
heralded in advance reports
from other cities, Shirley acts
and sings.

Blindness Will Decrease
There are now around 114,-
000 blind persons in the United
States and about 5,000, 000 in
the entire world, according to
recent estimates. There is rea-
son to believe, says the Nation-
al Society for Prevention of
Blindness, that the ratio of the
sightless will steadily decrease
in the future.
