Chatterbox (1936)
ANN SHIRLEY IN A HEART STORMING STORY OF A STAGE STRUCK RED HEAD
Teenage orphan Jenny Yates becomes starstruck when a revival of an old Victorian melodrama passes through her small New England town, to the disapproval of her stern grandfather, Uriah. Stowing away in the car of Philip Greene, a wealthy young man working with the theater troupe, Jenny talks her way into the play's lead role.
