Before Shirley Temple was ever thought of, the little starlet of cinema was "Baby Peggy." Here, the tyke stars in two of her classics. In the first, Sweetie, a homeless orphan is "adopted" by a well-to-do family, of which the man is not too excited about having a child in the house. Can the lass win his heart, or might there be another solution? In The Family Secret, two young newlyweds are separated by the woman's dominating father, who even has his son in-law tossed in prison. Four or so years later, the fellow is out roaming the streets. Will he by chance run into his daughter, who has raced off on her own to do a bit of "exploring?" Fun and musts for buffs of child-star film history!
