BRILLIANT CHILD
STAR FEATURED IN
“STAND UP & CHEER”
4-Year Old Shirley Temple
Scores Big Hit In New
Musical Film
By HOWARD HANCOCK
In “Stand Up and Cheer,” which
boasts 24 stars, coming next Mon
day-Tuesday to the Imperial, you
will catch your first glimpse of
Golden-haired, four-year-old Shir
ley Temple, and it is a safe ven
ture you will say she is undoubt
edly the cutest kid you’ve even
seen on stage or screen. Little
Shirley’s dancing feet and croon
ing voice has earned for her one
of the most promising screen con
tracts ever awarded a child. She
was born in Santa Monica, Cal.,
and came to the attention of
studio officials recently when her
parents brought her to Fox Movie
tone City lot in answer to a gen
eral call for children.
Shirley is scarcely larger than
a doll, and, like a dell, she has
large open blue eyes that twinkle
with devilment. Her blonde hair
is long and naturally curly. Her
feet are never still, and they tap
out a dance at the slightest semb
lance of music, it is said. She
sings too, without prompting, and
developed her voice by aping the
radio voices of Bing Crosby, Rudy
Vallee and other crooners.
Warner Baxter has the leading
male role in “Stand Up and Cheer"
and in it he is cast as a noted
N. Y. theatrical producer. We
must give Hollywood credit for
trying to get out of the rut of
back-stage stories when they put
on a musical revue. Baxter is call
ed to Washington by the Presi
dent and given the position of
“Secretary of Music” in his cabi
net. His instructions are to “get
people out of the dumps.”
Baxter has much success in en
tertaining a disgruntled public
but do they become “un-disgrunt
led!” Well, hardly! First thing
you know they start sniping at
him, with such slogans as “Let
well enough alone,” while others
argue “Prosperity would return
sooner if we quit wasting so much
money on entertainment.” Baxter
keeps plugging along, and soon
everyone is singing “We’re Out of
the Red.”
“Stand Up and Cheer” has been
produced on a lavish scale with
some gay episodes, one or two
good tunes, 1,000 dazzling girls, 5
bands of music, and a vocal chorus
of 500. Its imposing array of
stars inc'ude: Madge Evans, John
Boles, Sylvia Froos, James Dunn,
Shirley Temple, “Aunt Jemima,”
Arthur Bryon, Ralph Morgan, Nick
Fcran, Nigel Bruce, Mitchell &
Durant, and Stepin Fetchit. It i«
one of the most unique musicals
yet produced, and the work oi
little Miss Temple will lead you
to a new expectancy in child
stars.
Ray Walker is the star of “The
Loudspeaker,” for the Wednesday
Only offering- at the Imperial next
week.
*********
It was ‘ ate” pure and simple
that caused Cary Grant to go out
and drive that milk truck that
day in New York. Cary is a big
shot president of a large dairy
concern who takes pride in “fill
ing in” on all sorts of jobs a
round the dairy just in order 10
keep posted on the inside of the
business. Unfortunately, upon the
day he was driving the truck, it
runs over an 8-year-son of Loret
ta Young, and a big law suit is
enacted.
Cary offers most any settlement
but with an unscrupulous doctor
and attorney encouraging her,
Miss Yeung insists upon airing
the thing out in court. The son is
brought in on a wheel chair with
steel braces. This damaging bit of
evidence is rather set aside when
the dairy company’s attorneys
show a moving picture of the lad
only a few days before skating
and playing.
Miss Young portrays a “cus
tomer’s girl,” entertaining out-of
town buyers. It is a profession
tht requires wits and guile, as
well as beauty, and Loretta Young
has all three. Also she has the

father-less boy to look after, but
she manages to make an easy liv
ing entertaining customers who
are more interested in her than
the frocks they are buying.
When she loses her attempt to
collect big damages off Cary
Grant, she decides to let he and
his childless wife adopt the
youngster. Once again she devises
a cunning scheme to outwit the
wealthy man and gain back her
son, but after an unselfish display
on the part of Gary’s wife, when
she offers to step aside so that
he can marry Loretta if he
chooses, she once again lets him
go. Altho’ “born to be bad,” the
oeautiful Loretta proves she can
also be good.
"Born to Bo Bad,” bill be a sat
isfactory evening’s entertainment
bringing Cary and Loretta togeth
er for the first time on the screen,
and it is a vey happy selection
for their roles. Miss Young was
never more beautiful, nor Mr.
Grant more sincere in his por
trayal.
Bob Steele will be seen in
“Near Rainbow’s End,” for the
Saturday western “thriller.”

Monthly Pains
Relieved
Women who take CARDUI have
found that severe monthly pains
have been relieved and that by
continued use of it for a reason
able length of time their strength
has been renewed and their gen
eral health improved.
“I am glad to speak a few
words for Cardui, the medicine I
have taken for a weak, run-down
condition, for bad pains in my
side and back and for irregular
periods,” writes Mrs. Roy Chand
ler, of Cusseta, Ala. “Cardui
straightened me out and I felt 100
per cent better. It certainly help
ed me.”
Thousands of women testify
Cardui benefited them. If it does
not benefit YOU, consult a physi
cian.
