Nine-year-old Hazel Ascot is a natural dancer, who taps her way down to breakfast. That's because her mother, Enid Stamp-Taylor is the daughter of old trouper Wilson Coleman, who's still putting on shows.
In the 1930s there were a lot of child stars in Hollywood.Apart from Temple there was Freddie Bartholomew,Jackie Cooper and another English girl,Sybil Jason.
Producer-Director John Baxter made pioneering dramas about life among the underclass which he underwrote with glossy escapism like this, which is the usual stuff about a talented young entertainer who rises to the top in the face of parental disapproval. (Including a blackface number that shocks her headmistress for entirely different reasons from why it might offend modern viewers.
