What was Shirley's first major film?
Shirley acted in a number of films after the Baby Burlesks, each time getting strong reviews and praise from all who saw her.

It was a great success, and Shirley’s dancing and acting wowed everyone. This marked the beginning of her meteoric rise to become the biggest star in the world, and the creation of her many wonderful films.
