HOLLYWOOD
By PAUL HARRISON
OLLYWOCD, June 23.—Miss Shirley Temple, purveyor of sweetness and light to the multitude, hereafter may be considered an actress. Still a deeply dimpled moppet, and still a paragon of all the juvenile virtues, she nevertheless is a good deal more than just cute. Her studio is giving her progressively harder roles and in significantly bigger pictures. Obviously, Uncle Darryl Zanuck | gan boy, Who considers her a frail is not worried about his box office Jittle squaw. champion’s approach to adolescence. | ‘Said Miss Temple: Luckily she is growing slowly. a “T just had a case like that down -75 pounds and 542 inches are a bit gt Palm Springs, because there was under par for a child just turned 10. a hoy there who said I was & sissy.

. longer that she is a sprouting Elea-
nor Powell, or a Meliza Korjus In pinafore. She doesn't take vocal lessons, and her ballet instruction is intended only for physical training. ” ” » UT Shirley can and does act,
and in acting is her future. As
long ago as “Little Miss Broadway” she was assigned a dramatic prob- . lem, which was talking a boy into chauffeuring her for miles on a bicycle and then giving her a nickel
for subway fare. In “Just Around the Corner,” she had to reform a sissy. “The Little Princess” was full of emotional conflict, what with her persecution by the bad ol’ Miss Minchin and the necessity of her majntaining ‘the conviction that her father still lived. The building of various moods | looks a lot simpler on the screen than it is In production because scenes are not shot in dramatic progression. So Miss Temple has to know a story thoroughly and understand fits | characters and their feelings. Her mother coaches her in these matters | and receives $1000 a week for doing | it. Shirley gets about $1500. “Susannah of the Mounties” “brings her longest speeches and her greatest responsibility to date. “This | is the finest script I've ever read!” ‘she exclaimed. ® 0»
T was the first script she ever) really read, but her attitude about it shows that she now is regarding picture-making more jectively. Shirley suddenly has become interested in the work of other players, and is critical of it, too. Among her dramatic problems in

and still said I was a sissy. So I |got out some of my pistols (cap) and we played robbers, and he finally decided I was all right.” In “Lady Jane,” Shirley will undertake the moral regeneration of a harsh woman with a heart of gold. And late in the summer will ‘come Miss Temple's biggest picture— Maeterlinck’s “Bluebird.” In fact, it will be one of the studio's biggest, for it already is budgeted at & cool $2,000,000. » W» HIRLEY is in ‘Grade 5B (although she has & private teacher) —is poor at spelling, good at arithmetic. She shows & natural frugality by stuffing a ‘collection of pig banks with most of her $10 monthly allowance. This shows that she still does not know her own great importance, but there are signs of a dawning realization. For the first time in her ‘celluloid life she is beginning to be & little smart and a bit queenly on (the sets. She's sassy to her trusted |friends, such as the towering Arthur Treacher, and unmercifully ribs her brother Jack, an assistant ‘director, about the girls. | Nobody really minds these out\croppings of spunk, Shirley needs it if she's going to be an actress,

Tt happens in Reno and begins with the discovery that Paulette Goddard, there for a divorce, is going to marry the man whom another of the women is divorcing. There's a hot exchange of words before Rosalind Russell vanks Miss Goddard (who looks very umphy in white shorts and red sweater) off her horse ® » %
EEN the slapping match begins and it's clear from the start that the cutie in ringside costume has the advantage. They wreck a table set for luncheon, and Miss Russell retreats into the house. They go from room to room, followed by Joan Fontaine, Norma Shearer and Mary Boland, who try to intervene and suffer for it. Tt finally ends in a flurry of shin-kicking and biting, after which the disheveled Miss Russell Timps to get some iodine, grumbling that she'll probably de-
