SHIRLEY TEMPLE hawking a radio


It was 1936 and the Shirley Temple movie "Poor Little Rich Girl" was coming out. So here we have Shirley doing a little promo work to get some buzz going for the movie. I imagine this image ended up in a lot of scrapbooks. I'm guessing a lot of little kids, and even women, were keeping scrapbooks about Shirley.

Back when a radio was a piece of furniture, not something you tune into on your computer or iPod.
