One of many films starring Shirley Temple which were remakes of box-office hits starring Mary Pickford during the silent era. Known as "America's Sweetheart" and the "Girl with the Curls," Pickford's earlier successes included The Poor Little Rich Girl (1917), Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1917), and A Little Princess (1917). In addition to re-purposing Pickford's films as vehicles for Temple, studio publicists re-used Pickford's persona and nicknames as a model for crafting Temple's own image as a Hollywood starlet.
"Stebbins: That's the third sneeze. Collins: I'm afraid you'll have to go to bed. Barbara Barry: But I'm not sick. I feel fine! Woodward: Oh, Collins, she's perfectly well. A sneeze is nothing to be alarmed at. Collins: Maybe so, But I'm responsible for the child. Come along, dear. Woodward: The child sneezes, and you'd think the world has come to an end. Why can't they leave her alone? She's a perfectly normal, healthy child. The way they carried on here, you'd think she was made of glass! Something ought to be done. Collins: How Mr. Barry can stand that woman is beyond me. Woodward: You can't expect a widower and a man as busy as Mr. Barry to notice everything that goes on in the house."
"Barbara Barry: Do I have to eat any more of this? Stebbins: Most definitely. Spinach is very rich in vitamins. I might say disgustingly rich, and very good for you, Miss Barbara. Barbara Barry: Why is it so many things you don't like are good for you? Stebbins: I couldn't say offhand, Miss Barbara, but you must eat some more of your spinach. Barbara Barry: Why do I have to? Stebbins: Well, you see, your lunch calls for so many vitamins, and you must have them."
