No Alcohol Included: 'The Little Colonel'

Map It:  Capitol South 

shirley.jpgSHIRLEY TEMPLE is known to us all because of the little drink that was named for her. But surely you've seen the curly-haired 1930s moppet on one of the many Easter and Mother's Day TCM marathons that somehow seem to always feature her?

She grew up to be an ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia, which is probably more impressive than singing and dancing (and winning a special juvenile Oscar) in movies at the age of 6.

Anyway, they're screening one of her most famous films, "The Little Colonel" (also starring the great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson) at the Library of Congress tonight. All singing, all dancing, all Shirley.
