Leo is on the Air!

This is your Hollywood radio reporter, coming to you from the little

theatre in the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios.

One of these days someone will write a history of motion pictures

It's going to be an exciting story of dreams and ambitions, of hard

work and faith, of disappointments and overnight triumphs

It will be a story of unusual people...

And away up top and important,

you will read about a young lady who is here now

You will meet her in a moment

But first I want to tell you something about her

She made her first appearance in 1928

She was born that year on April 23rd

For her the years of obscurity were few

In 1932 she made her motion picture debut

You liked her, in fact, you raved about her

By 1934 she had become motion picture's No1 attraction

You and your next door neighbor were completely captivated,

when you saw her as, Little Miss Marker

Before the year was over you had gone back to your favorite theatre,

to see Stand Up and Cheer, Baby Take a Bow, Bright Eyes

That same year, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences

Bestowed upon her a special award for her outstanding contribution to the screen

She has appeared in 20 hit pictures since then

Pictures like Little Colonel, Captain January, The Littlest Rebel

And The Little Princess

You've laughed with her, yes

And you cried with her too

You'll remember her best as a chubby curly head

Well you should see her today, quite tall, poised, still smiling

Here she is now.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Miss Shirley Temple

Thank you Shirley, thank you for a swell job.

And after this I won't object to answering the questions.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you've been listening to Shirley Temple,

Herbert Marshall and Gail Patrick in several scenes from the motion

picture, "Kathleen".

This is your Hollywood radio reporter saying, thank you for listening.
