Cute Shirley Film debut!, 12 August 2011
Author: (sylviastel@aol.com) from United States

Shirley Temple is casted as the little precocious adorable sister in this film short where the father announces to the family that he is moving them to Seattle, Washington. Unfortunately, Shirley's big brother has just won an election at school. He doesn't want to leave his elected post or the girl behind. So he and his friends come up with a savvy plot to keep him home rather than the move to rainy Seattle. It's a cute short and Shirley's a supporting player but she rises to the occasion. You can't take your eyes off of her curls, her glowing smile, and her ever happy optimism. Shirley Temple became a star and did it by doing shorts like this. This film short wasn't the best quality over time and neglect but it's okay to watch at least once.
