and, perhaps to her parents, con-
tinues to retain the naturalness that
causes people to want to see her
and her pictures.
The incident at the preview is to
the point. Wholly unmindful of
the crowd, she proved herself a
pretty average little girl by stop
ping to say hello to a friend.
Mother and Father Temple have
sold their daughter on the idea the
attention she gets is really a tribute
to the girl she is in the movies.
They pamper her as little as they
can. She sits at the family table
with the rest, eats the same food,
gets no special service. She does not
have a maid. The Temples get
along with housekeeper and a
cook.

HOLLYWOOD, April 22.-The

picture-the amazing Shirley Tenn
pie. who will be 10 years old to-

Hundreds wanted to see her close
up. Half would liked to have patted
her on the head. A score or two
desired her autograph.
AS usual, flying wedge to escort
the young lady to her motor was
formed by Grief" her bodyguard,
theater attaches and press agents.
The throng was partially held back
by officers and ropes.
A boy of about 10, literally hang
ing on the ropes, shouted Hi,
Shirley! How you been?"
Shirley stopped suddenly, to the
embarrassment of her escorts, turned
to the boy and, with as little con-
cern as if they'd met at an ice cream
cart, began to telk. He had been a
playmate at resort where Shirley
had vacationed. She liked the young
man, was glad to see and thought
1t perfectly proper to talk to him.
This little girl has spent most of
her life In the spotlight. Yet, to the
wonder of her public, her employers
