":3 P www.americanradiohistory.com SHIRLEY TEMPLE'S Secret Hobby KEEPING a secret in Hollywood is just about as easy as finding the proverbial needle in a haystack; yet now and then some star does manage it until a chance word or a spontane- ous gesture gives it away -and completely, as Shirley Temple did recently at CBS. rehearsal of "Junior Miss," airlane show, in which she is now starring. Until she spontaneously picked up the hammers of Charlie Price's xylophone and started playing, no one in radio or movie circles was aware that Shirley had been hiding a musical talent. The ease with which the little star played electrified her impromptu audience, and Movm -RAnto GUIDE was the first to get the facts as well as the first picture of Shirley xylophoning, right. Digging into this deep, dark secret, it developed that La Temple has a full-size vibraphone in her special quarters at home which she plays a good deal. Hereto- fore, those who guard her interests had a "no story, no pictures for publication" ruling on her secret hobby and talent. In fact, those who heard her for the first time were as surprised as the New York college professor who toured out -of-way spots in Europe and the Orient before the war and was astonished to find that the children there were interested in only one famous American -Shirley Temple. A few of them even had Shirley Temple dolls. After that experience, should the good professor peruse the 1942 edition of "Who's Who" in America, he will probably not be so surprised to find Shirley Temple one of the youngest of the thirty -two thousand notables listed, and rating twenty -six lines in this roster of Amer- ica's great. In fact, her biography gets more space than John D. Rockefeller, Jr. About the same time Shirley's secret hobby came to light, she revealed a secret talent on her four- teenth birthday .(April 23) when she enter- tained two dozen pan- American youngsters, children of nine Central, South American consuls. Everyone had fun at the ice-cream -and- cake feast served at Brittingham's Columbia Square restaurant, next door to Shirley's CBS broadcasting studio. Later she played hostess to the group at her "Junior Miss" show, took time to sign autographs for each guest, severi for a red -headed representative from Mexico, who explained, "I got friends at home who are expecting them." Shirley's warm friendliness and hospitality marked her as a true ambas- sador of good-will among our pan-American neighbors. Certainly no young matron twice her age could have shown more charm and grace than little Shirley Temple, who has been a movie star eleven of her fourteen years, and whose secret hobby for the xylophone aston- ished listeners at "Junior Miss" rehearsal.
