Legends of Hollywood

Shirley Temple - Actress & Diplomat

“On the Good Ship Lollipop”


Cover Announcement 


This cachct variety is based on a 1936 film in which a baby is rescued from the sea by lighthouse keeper Captain January. Since both of the baby's parents perished, and with no way to locate any other family members, the keeper raises her at the light.


The movie was a musical comedy/drama directed by David Butler and was based on the story The Lighthouse at Cape Tempest by Laura Richards. My individually hand painted cachet shows Shirley at a ship's wheel being instructed by Captain January played by Guy Kibbee. It also shows the child actress in a sailor's uniform. A really nice Collins cachet honoring Hollywood's number one box office star from 1935 to 1938 - Shirley Temple. Collins #Q5501 at $15.00.
