Movie Dressograph Shirley Temple

This is the only full size Movie Dressograph sheet I have.  the very famous Shirley Temple.  due to it's size and fragile nature, I cannot scan it, so instead I took pictures with my phone.  am I too lazy to rotate the pictures... yes I am! (also can't really figure out how to on my new phone yet) anyway Shirley has three dresses and a wig along with a bow.  This is dated December 23rd 1934.  maybe one day i'll be able to get a better scan of it.  the paper is separating in the middle where the newspaper has been folded.
