' want her \ i
SHIRLEY DOESN’T KNOW SHE’S A GREAT MOVIE STAR—TO HER WORK at studio is play, just like when she runs and jumps with lifetime friends at Santa Monica, Calif. Sometimes she is puzzled when fans try to touch her in public. Once someone in a crowd pulled one of her pretty yellow curls and made her cry.
UNTIL THIS SUMMER, SHIRLEY HAD NEVER BEEN FURTHER away from home than Lake Tahoe, Calif., where she had a grand time coasting and skiing. A few weeks ago she went to Hawaii. She has never had a ride on a train, nor has she ever been to Sunday school or church. She has said her prayers every night since she could talk.
Life to Shirley Temple is just a great big game. For Shirley, you see, doesn't realize that she is one of the world's most popular movie stars, nor that she is the idol of thousands of film-lovers.

SHIRLEY GOES FOR A WALK WITH HER “STAND-IN," LITTLE MARILYN GRANAS, seven years old and also from Santa Monica. Marilyn stands in the spot Shirley will occupy while the lights and cameras are adjusted. Between times they play with dolls, go to school to Miss Lillian Barker, their tutor, and sometimes promenade with •‘Rags’’ down dressing room row on . the Fox lot. —Copyright Register and Tribune Syndicate.
Shirley's parents hope to ke'ep her unspoiled and democratic. And from all indications, little Miss Temple is going through life just like thousands of other little American girls.
Shirley Just One of "Gang*’ to Playmates
TINKERING WITH HER TRICYCLE WITH her old clothes on is Shirley’s idea of a good time. She often plays alone. Sometimes she annoys her older brothers, Sonny and Jack, with her pranks. They do not treat her as a star, although of course they are very fond of her.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
SHIRLEY CAN MAKE AS GOOD MUD pies as any little girl in her neighborhood. She doesn’t mind getting dirty for her Daddy gives her a bath every night. Her mother and father have refused offers of SIO,OOO a week for personal performances in New York for the tiny star, just because they do not want her to be away from home.
Her playmates in the neighborhood are her pals and when presents pour in on the Temple household from admiring fans, Shirley shares her new toys icith her playmates.
MEET SHIRLEY S SANTA MONICA “GANG.” THEY ARE all neighbors and children she has grown up with. Left to right: Bernard Arnold. Dorothy Arnold, Dick Allen, John Matzinger, Jean Arnold, Mark Allen and Shirley on velocipede. Shirley neither asks for nor gets any special attention when they play. She's just one of the gang. Movies are never mentioned.
KEEPING PHYSICALLY FIT IS NOT A SERIOUS problem for the little film starlet. She races and plays in her own backyard, her diet is carefully checked and she has never been sick a day in her life. Dr. Russell Sands gives her a thorough examination every six weeks. He's been her doctor since she was 5 months old.
This is the last of a series of six picture pages of Shirley. The Times has presented them to give its readers more complete knowledge of the little girl whose name is now a household word.
