Shirley Temple Polly Tix In Washington

Shirley Temple

15 mins B&W 1932

This is one truly bizzare film! The Baby Burlesks were a series of short films intended to answer the hugely popular ^Our Gang^ series. Four-year-old Shirley is Polly Tix, a high-priced call girl sent by corrupt officials to influence a backwoods politician. There are racial stereotypes, racy dialogue, and a rather bizzare cake fight.
