Shirley Temple in "Polly Tix in Washington"
Comedy short written and directed by Charles Lamont
Released June 4, 1933

The 11-minute film stars Temple as Polly Tix, Butler and Smith as politicians,
Gloria Ann Mack as The Little Sister, and Philip Hurlic as Dynamite. Shirley Temple Black

Temple wore black lace panties and bra designed by her mother, and, as her biographer
