GUERRA, Prop. , Brownsville, Texas outstanding personality of the year, a .skeptical public already i« view ing her future with polite misgiv ings. How many people will remember her five years from now? Will she grow into a good actress with the passing of years and development, or will she vanish like Jackie Coo gan. Baby Peggy. Virg.nia Lee Cor bin. Phillipe de Lacey and other child wonders of the past, when awkward adolescence replaces the natural '‘cuteness'’ of her baby charm? Director’s Response In answer to these questions, David Butler, who has just finished guid ing young Sh.rley through her latest release, “Bright Eyes,” repliea in dignantly. ‘ People will not only remember Shirley Temple five years from now —they’ll remember her 50 years from now! To the children of today, she is Hollywood's ’small miracle.’ When they are grown to manhood and womanhood, even when they are grandparents, they will talk about this unusual child, making their comparisons of the future with her. “Ask your grandparents concern ing a great opera star of the past and invariably they will sigh over the glory of Jf>atti. Bring up the question of great acting and hear them rave over Edwin Booth or Mary Anderson. 80. the children of today wnll be telling people in 1994 about that wonderful baby grand' who clutched at the heart strings of mothers and appealed to the contradictory emotions of fa thers with equal pathos and laugh ter away back in the year of 1934 when NRA became the most over worked letters of the alphabet. •‘Already a Good Actre»” “As for Shirleys growing into a good actress,” he continued, "how can she grow into something she already is? She has been a good actress from the time she first squirmed in her crib. She was BORN a natural actress — genius, distinct and inherent. There will be no 'awkward adolescence’ for Shirley. Ii she loses ‘cuteness’ it will be to gain poise and a more highly developed appeal. “Things have changed in the art of motion picture*. The story is the great thing today and will be from now on. In the case of famous child stars who faded and lost their popularity, it should be borne In mind that they flourished In the old days of silent pictures. These young sters were typed and all they had to fall back on was their appearance to match written descriptive matter on the screen. Now, children not only look and act the characters, but they talk them. ‘If it depends on Shirley alone, you can count on her to develop with eaoh passing year But It isn't up to her alone. It will be the responsibility oi the scenarists to keep pace with her in their stories. She is a star and must have vehicles suited to her talents. As she changes, so will the stories Given the right material, as a prop for her amazing talent, there is no reason why this baby shouldn’t con. tinue to take a bow' for many years to come.” CHIRCHMEN TO ELECT (Special to The Herald) SAN BENITO.
