<P> After the success of her first three movies, Shirley's parents realized that their daughter was not being paid enough money . Her image also began to appear on numerous commercial products without her legal authorization and without compensation .

On July 18, 1934, the contractual salary was raised to $1,000 a week and her mother's salary was raised to $250 a week, with an additional $15,000 bonus for each movie finished . Temple's original contract for $150 per week is equivalent to $2,750 in 2015, adjusted for inflation . However, the economic value of $150 during the Great Depression was equal to $18,500 . The subsequent salary increase to $1,000 weekly had the economic value of $123,000 and the bonus of $15,000 per movie (equal to $275,000 in 2015) was equivalent to a staggering $1.85 million in a decade when a quarter could buy a meal . Cease and desist letters were sent out to many companies and the process was begun for awarding corporate licenses . </P> <P> On December 28, 1934, Bright Eyes was released .

In February 1935, Shirley Temple became the first child star to be honored with a miniature Juvenile Oscar for her film accomplishments, and she added her foot - and handprints to the forecourt at Grauman's Chinese Theatre a month later . </P> <P> In 1935, Fox Films merged with Twentieth Century Pictures to become 20th Century Fox . Producer and studio head Darryl F. Zanuck focused his attention and resources upon cultivating Shirley's superstar status . She was the studio's greatest asset . Nineteen writers, known as the Shirley Temple Story Development team, made 11 original stories and some adaptations of the classics for her . </P> <P> Biographer Anne Edwards wrote about the tone and tenor of Shirley Temple films, "This was mid-Depression, and schemes proliferated for the care of the needy and the regeneration of the fallen . But they all required endless paperwork and demeaning, hours - long queues, at the end of which an exhausted, nettled social worker dealt with each person as a faceless number . Shirley offered a natural solution: to open one's heart ." Edwards pointed out that the characters created for the little actress would change the lives of the cold, the hardened, and the criminal with positive results . Her films were seen as generating hope and optimism, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "It is a splendid thing that for just fifteen cents an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles ." </P>
