Shirley Temple | White House
Child actress Shirley Temple leaving the White House after visiting with President Roosevelt.
Here's what the caption (from the time) says: "Shirley told the President about losing a tooth last night, and he told her about Sistie and Buzzie losing their teeth. Shirley expects to be in Washington a week checking on the affairs of government with different government officials"
This was during the Depression and Shirley Temple was considered a morale booster. President Roosevelt was doing all he could to lift the spirits of the American people during this time.
I believe the woman reaching out to Shirley as she stands in the car door is her mother, Gertrude Amelia Temple (née Krieger).
