We reflect on the passing of Shirley two years ago in 2014. While we lost a truly iconic figure in American history we have also witnessed in that time the outpouring of love and respect for a young girl and woman who has inspired and brought joy to so many generations. The gifts we return to her now are the stories we tell of how she touched our lives and inspired us. Be it with that spunk and cheer that lifted a nation in the Great Depression, her role as an inspirational mother to a family that continues to work in preserving her work and name, or the years of public service she so graciously gave to our country. For each of us Shirley Temple Black will live on every day in a body of work never to be duplicated. Here at Theriault's we call it "One Degree of Shirley." That is that we are all connected with our memories of her gift.

The gown was worn by Shirley Temple in her role of Kathleen, in the 1941 MGM film of that name, during the fantasy scene, as Kathleen imagines she is a star on Broadway and performs a remarkable descending-the-staircase dance. This outstanding costume is #23 in the November 22 auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

In the 1930s, Shirley Temple’s parents contracted with the Rosenau firm of Philadelphia in the production of a line of clothing for young girls, inspired by the Shirley Temple “look”. Immensely popular at the time, the line gradually lessened in demand during the late 1940s and 1950s, until, in 1958, Shirley Temple reinvigorated the famous “Cinderella, Inspired by Shirley Temple” clothing line, still to be made by Rosenau. The dresses shown on the following pages are from the 1958 era, and each is an actual sample that was sent to Shirley Temple for her approval before manufacturing began. Each is size 4 (not so coincidentally, it seems, the same size as the Shirley Temple Playpal doll also introduced at that time), and each bears the “Cinderella, Inspired by Shirley Temple” label. Many also have the original manufacturer’s work label indicating the model number and the wholesale price per dozen. The dresses, of wonderful fabrics and construction, were designed for presentation in top department and clothing stores. Each of these costumes, now likely one-of-a-kind in its perfectly preserved condition, having been in the cherished Shirley Temple archives for more than half a century. The Cinderella dresses appear starting at lot #291 in the November 22 auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.https://www.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=102642

Shirley Temple's Red-Haired Lady Mannequin from the 1941 Film "Kathleen"

The mannequin was a featured prop in the 1941 film "Kathleen", and appeared in numerous publicity photographs with Shirley that promoted the film; one feature in a September 1941 article of the Chicago Herald Tribune noted that the doll actually belonged to Shirley and "being a smart business girl Shirley rents it to the studio". The mannequin is #17 in the November 22 auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Shirley Temple's VibraHarp Gifted to Her by Its Designer, Clair Omar Musser

The percussion instrument with brass bars and tubes that are paired with motor-driven butterfly valve which creates rich tremolo or vibrato resonance, bears the label of its maker J.C. Deagan of Chicago. Included are ten mallets with padded heads of various density to create different tones. Its designer was Clair Omar Musser, marimba virtuoso, conductor, inventor and engineer, whose co-interests of music and astronomy inspired him in the gifting of two of Shirley Temple's most unusual memorabilia (also see #122). The instrument is labeled "Deagan No. 55 Vibra-Harp Re. U.S. Pat. Off." and "J.C. Deagan, Inc. Chicago Made in USA". It has been preserved in its four original cases, each with the Deagan label on the case. The VibraHarp has a strong beautiful sound! The VibraHarp is #121 in the November 22 auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=409&aid=102642&lid=27347227&title=Shirley-Temple-s-VibraHarp-Gifted-to-Her-by-Its-Designer-Clair-Omar-Musser-6000

New Discovery About Shirley’s Die-Cut ID Bracelet

Shirley Temple was all about sharing - and so are her fans, today. We just learned some tantalizing background from one of these sharing fans about Shirley’s ID name bracelet with die-cut letters. On page 72 of the 2010-published book, Paul Flato, Jeweler to the Stars by Elizabeth Irvine Bray, is a photograph of an identical bi-colored gold bracelet (except different letters, of course), with the caption “Only three bracelets were made small enough for children; one for each of Flato’s children and one for the child actress, Shirley Temple”. During the late 1930s/early 1940s Paul Flato, arguably more renowned than Tiffany & Co or Harry Winston at the time, privately designed jewelry for stars, socialites and heiresses, as well as for six Hollywood films. The bracelet is #4 in the November 22 auction to be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

American Composition Doll of Shirley in Exclusive Ensemble Inspired by Film "Bright Eyes"

25" (64 cm.) All-composition doll with socket head, hazel sleep and "flirting" eyes, human hair lashes, open mouth, row of teeth, impressed cheek dimples, blonde mohair ringlet curls, jointing at shoulders and hips. The doll is wearing a pink silk pleated dress over factory-original undergarment, socks and shoes, and has white fur coat with extended cape collar and foxtail trim, muff, and velvet hat with more foxtail trim. The doll is marked Shirley Temple Cop Ideal N & T and the coat is labeled "Willard H. George Los Angeles". The costume was a unique creation, a symbol of her costume in the final scene of the 1934 film "Bright Eyes".

Included is a vintage photograph of Shirley holding this doll (with variant dress under the coat).

Bidders at the Love Shirley, Take Two auction on November 22 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York will have an opportunity to bid on this Shirley Temple doll as well as others, as the collection is being presented as one group. https://theriaults.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=102642
