Scope and content
Seven year old JoAnn Wasson poses with the Shirley Temple doll that she received as a prize from the Tacoma Times during their subscription drive. The Times had offered a free Shirley Temple doll to any little girl who signed up five new subscribers. The doll was dressed exactly like Shirley in the film "Curly Top." Shirley Temple was the biggest child star of all time, topping out the box office hits list at number 1 from 1935- 1938. (T. Times 10-20-1936 p.3)
