Little Colonel, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) I Ought To Kill You After a mild opening scene establishing Kentucky “in the 70’s,” just about the whole premise, Elizabeth (Evelyn Venable) aided by Hattie McDaniel wants to elope with yankee Jack (John Lodge) who seems decent but her grandfather the colonel (Lionel Barrymore) doesn’t care, in Shirley Temple’s first film with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, The Little Colonel, 1935.

Little Colonel, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) You've Captured An Entire Regiment After the marriage of her yankee father (John Lodge) and rebel mom in the 1870’s we leap forward to introduce the star, (Shirley Temple as young Lloyd Sherman, in the year she turned 7) at a U.S. Army outpost where Robert Warwick oversees her honorary investiture, in Fox Films’ The Little Colonel, 1935.

Little Colonel, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) My Dream Of Life (a.k.a Love's Young Dream) Shirley Temple as young Lloyd has conspired with servants Hattie McDaniel and Bill Robinson to assume a dress and bonnet that belonged to her mother, and advances her scheme to soften up her grouchy ex-Confederate grandfather the colonel (Lionel Barrymore), in The Little Colonel, 1935.

Little Colonel, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) My Old Kentucky Home Widely remarked upon especially decades later, the first inter-racial dancing couple in a Hollywood film, and Shirley Temple’s first number with her great friend Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, featuring the stair-dancing for which he nearly won a legal patent, The Little Colonel, 1935.

Stowaway (1936) -- (Movie Clip) He Growled At Me! Orphan Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple), who dozed off in a car that got loaded onto a liner departing Shanghai, winds up in the cabin of Susan (Alice Faye) and her mother-in-law to-be (Helen Westley), the captain (Robert Greig) calming nerves, in Stowaway, 1936, from producer Buddy DeSylva.

Stowaway (1936) -- (Movie Clip) Greetings Ching Ching Having learned already that she's the orphan daughter of missionaries in China, and that a local warlord is rampaging, we meet "Ching Ching" (Shirley Temple) whom Sun Lo (Philip Ahn) has sworn to protect, in 20th Century-Fox's Stowaway, 1936, co-starring Robert Young and Alice Faye.

Stowaway (1936) -- (Movie Clip) All Things Have Two Prices Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple), the orphan daughter of missionaries and now a refugee, forgotten by her negligent escort, wanders Shanghai seeking food for her dog, and meets benevolent American Tommy (Robert Young), his first scene in Stowaway, 1936.

Stowaway (1936) -- (Movie Clip) You Gotta S-M-I-L-E At port in Hong Kong, enjoying a show with friends Tommy and Susan (Robert Young, Alice Faye), who are not (yet) a couple, orphan Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple, with a song by Harry Revel and Mack Gordon) reveals hidden talents, with impressions, in 20th Century-Fox's Stowaway, 1936.

Bright Eyes (1934) -- (Movie Clip) Have You Seen Shirley? We're just meeting jolly pilot Loop (James Dunn) when the conversation turns to his godchild, the star, Shirley Temple, age six, playing "Shirley" whom, we learn, is the daughter of his late fellow-aviator friend, opening the first picture written for Temple, from 20th Century-Fox, Bright Eyes, 1934.

Bright Eyes (1934) -- (Movie Clip) There Ain't Any Santa Claus Shirley Temple with the household servants including Jane Darwell, Brandon Hurst and Lois Wilson as her mother, then in a series of dust-ups with the screeching brat daughter (Jane Withers) of the snooty owners, sensible old-codger uncle Ned (Charles Sellon) taking sides, in the 20th Century-Fox

Bright Eyes (1934) -- (Movie Clip) On The Good Ship Lollipop This is six year-old Shirley Temple performing what remains her best-known song, for "Loop" (James Dunn) and friends, aviator colleagues of her late father, taxiing on board a DC-2, music by Richard Whiting, lyrics by Sidney Clare, in 20th Century-Fox's Bright Eyes, 1934.
