What Dimples Is About
In nineteenth-century New York, Dimples Appleby lives with her pickpocket grandfather; she entertains the crowd while he works it. When a wealthy woman takes the girl in, another life opens up for her. William A. Seiter directed, with Shirley Temple in the lead and Frank Morgan as the grandfather. The film has a section staging Uncle Tom’s Cabin and closes with a minstrel number, with white performers in blackface on stage and Temple and Stepin Fetchit among them. That should be stated: the film carries the racist performance tradition of its day straight onto the screen. It came out in 1936 and the critics did not think much of it.
