THE ORPHANS' BENEFIT (19 3 4) 275 Though she had appeared in pictures earlier, Shirley Temple first gained attention in a Fox revue of 1934, Sfana Up and Cheer, which featured Warner Baxter, Madge Evans, and James Dunn. Miss Temple appears here with Dunn. Her next picture, Little Miss Marker, released the same year, definitely established her as a box-office draw. VBOVE RIGHT The greatest tear-jerker of 1934 was Fannie Hurst's Imitation of Life, starring Claudette Colbert and featuring Louise Beavers. John M. Stahl directed for Universal. BELOW The year 1934 was memorable for the unheralded debut of one who was destined to become a worldfamous star. His name is Donald Duck, and he made his first appearance playing a small part in Walt Disney's The Orphans' Benefit. As this picture shows, the old master of the squawk looked different in those days.
