J. R. 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.”

He is Abel Plenn. son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. Plenn. 442 Levee Street.

other such creative effort, young
Plenn will soon turn over to the pub

plete book.
Its title will be “Bongs and Dances
of Mexico."
The Brownsville high school grad
uate has studied the influence of
the Mexican folk songs and dances
on the political, social, and economic
life of the republic, and his work
embraces the results of this studv. He
spent a year in the Isthmus of Te
huantepec. where the natives still
live much as they did in the days of
Cortez, wearing native dress and ob
serving native religious rituals.
Young Plenn is now in New Or
leans. doing research work In the
archives of Tulane University before
completing his book. Alter
months of study there he will
the manuscript over to the publiw
ers and return to Mexico CHy. P*^
ably stopping in Brovmsvillh fo* *

During the past two years he 01
rected the children’s theatre mP^c*
ment foj the department of e<hjc»'
tion in Mexico, writing the P**/
which the children produced. <
Among his translations are
ot the prose cot positions of the
