Shirley Temple - Glad Rags To Riches 1932

This short one-reeler features Shirley as Diaperina, heading a children-only cast of three to five year olds, performing in a broad burlesque as the star of a floor show at the “Lullaby Lobster Palace,” dancing and singing “She’s Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage.” This song represents the servitude she is bound to in the nightclub. Directed by Charles Lamont, who is credited to be her discoverer.
