SUMMER 2017

he Santa Monica History
Museum in Santa Monica,
California, was host this April and May
to a special exhibit, "Shirley Temple: The
Depression's Box Office Doll." The exhibit
examined the story of how Shirley's
films and doll merchandise provided
not only uplifting entertainment during
the Depression years of 1934-1940 but
also how they both stimulated the
economy and provided jobs during
this difficult time.
The exhibit was the third in the
city where Temple was born in 1928.
Two years ago, Mayor Tony Vazquez
declared April as Shirley Temple
month in Santa Monica. A touring
exhibit of her personally owned
career memorabilia, auctioned by
Theriault's was featured in 2015; a
life retrospective in 2016; and this
year's exhibit - the story of one
of the most popular dolls of all
time,- the composition doll made by Ideal
Doll Company during the six years of her
childhood career. Some of the most elusive
Ideal Shirley Temple dolls were displayed.
The exhibit was co-curated by Museum
Archivist Sara Crown and Hollywood
Archivist Woolsey Ackerman and included
items from the collections of the museum,
Ackerman and Shirley's Army. Temple's
own "Little Colonel" doll, which she
posed with in 1935, welcomed visitors to
the exhibit room.
