I was brought up with these shorts as a child and they were my favorite programs in the fifties. What makes this one extra special is one of the Meglin Kiddies as lead tap dancer starting at about 3:45 and lasting until about 5:00. Being sort of a fan of dancing I consider this 1:10 of tap dancing to be the best number of all-time. I haven't ever been able to figure out what the dancer's name was. Her dance and tap is as clear as a bell, she is lighter than air, and the expression on her face is adorable.
I have probably watched all of, certainly almost all of, Shirley Temple's dance numbers, and even her most excellent 10 star numbers like "We Should Get Together" in "Little Miss Broadway" and "At the Codefish Ball" in Captain January are not as clear and light as this one.
If anyone happens to know the name of this tap dancer.... I would appreciate it be posted.
