CONTRACT ENDS
SHIRLEY TEMPLE PAID £60,000. MAY GO TO SCHOOL. Twentieth Century-Fox paid the Temples £60,000, whereupon a contract which still had a year and ahalf to run and the career of the most amazing’ box-office star the entertainment business has ever known were, temporarily, at least, washed up. I say “temporarily,” says an American writer, despite the statement that Shirley's very far-seeing mother gave to the effect that she wanted her young daughter to get the chance to grow up normally and have normal school contacts with other children, which up until now have been impossible. I believe Mrs Temple, who has always put the welfare of her child far ahead of any money consideration, is completely sincere when she announces that Shirley will now enter into the life of the average child, but personally I doubt that Miss Curlytop will ever be able to do this.
