* Shirley Temple receives new contract at age 5
* contract ends corporate unlicensed use of her image


The front page has a one column heading: "Shirley Temple, 5, to Draw Movie Pay of $1,250 a Week," which tells of her new contract through the efforts of lawyer Loyd Write, and ended the corporate (Fox) unlicensed use of her image. The article is framed in a box which makes it stand out on the front page.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day are found throughout.
Complete in 20 pages, light toning, a library sticker appears on the masthead, back two leaves have some damage (inconsequential to key content), but otherwise good.
