1934: _Stand Up and Cheer!_ Shirley Temple had a small supporting role in this movie but it brought her to public attention. She would be the lead in two hit movies, _Little Miss Marker_ and _Bright Eyes_, before the end of 1934. Fox Films had Temple under contract and her success probably saved the studio, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy. ---
