Please go easy on me, guys if I ask a question that's already been answered I don't think you regulars appreciate just how much info is on this site ;D On the Sgt Pepper Album cover the only name that comes up three times is Shirley Temple. Why?

I was sure one of you would know why ;D
My only thought was...Shirley temple was a child star who everyone believed would go on to be a great actress. But once she hit 12 (?) her career collapsed..noone remembers her past the film Blue Bird...one minute she was a big, BIG star. The next minute she totally vanished off the silver screen. Could this be a clue? She went on to have a fantastic career as a UN Ambassador...but not many people know that.
Lyrics from the film Blue bird Song released for publicity but not in the finished film) If it seems that you were born Under some unlucky star And the sun simply won't Come smiling through
While you seek your happiness You will find it where you are If you look at life With a pleasant point of view
Someday, you'll find your bluebird Wait your turn (hum---) Bide your time. (hum--) For when you find your bluebird Life will be (hum--) So sublime. (hum--)
It may be right near you Or may be worlds apart When love comes you'll find it On the window-sill, of your heart
And then you'll hear your bluebird Sing a song of happiness to you
SYNOPSIS
Shirley Temple stars in this fairy tale about imaginary lands and the true values of kindness and happiness. The journey begins when Mytyl (Temple) captures a unique bird in the royal forest, then refuses to pass it on to her bedridden best friend. That night, Mytyl is visited in a dream by a fairy who sends her and her brother, Tytyl (John Russell), on a quest for the bluebird of happiness. Accompanied by their pet dog and cat, Mytyl and Tytyl set out on an adventure into the past, the future, and the Land of Luxury--only to find the bluebird in a most unexpected place. Much like THE WIZARD OF OZ, which was released the previous year, THE BLUE BIRD begins with a black-and-white prologue, then switches to lavish Technicolor when the children enter fantastic lands, a transformation that highlights the film's dazzlingly magical soul.
And another bit of blurb about Bluebird...ANY CLUES HERE?
The Blue Bird (1940 c 83') En: 5 Ed: 6
Adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck's play, a sister and brother seek happiness in the past, a luxurious palace, and the future, but find it at home.
Trespassing Myltyl (Shirley Temple) and Tyltyl (Johnny Russell) catch a bird in the royal forest but don't share it with sick Angela (Sybil Jason). Mummy Tyl (Spring Byington) and Daddy Tyl (Russell Hicks) say they are late. Myltyl complains they are poor. Daddy Tyl learns he must report for the war against Napoleon's invasion. Fairy Berylune (Jessie Ralph) tells Myltyl and Tyltyl they must look for the bluebird of happiness. Their dog and cat become human as Tylo (Eddie Collins) and Tylette (Gale Sondergaard). Light (Helen Ericson) appears to guide them. They go back to the past by a graveyard. Scared Tylo falls in a grave and runs away. Their grandparents awake and greet Myltyl and Tyltyl when they think of them. Myltyl can't find a blue bird but sings "Lady-O." Myltyl says they have to return, and her grandparents go back to sleep.
Tylette leads them to the land of luxury, and they enter a palace and meet Mr. Luxury (Nigel Bruce) and Mrs. Luxury (Laura Hope Crews); but Tylo has to stay in the kennel. Myltyl and Tyltyl fight over the pony. Myltyl can't sleep and finds Mr. Luxury has gout. Tylo cries, because he has no pedigree. He and Myltyl decide to leave, and she apologizes to Tyltyl. Tylette breaks an urn, and they flee. Mrs. Luxury says they are too young to appreciate luxury, and Mr. Luxury says they are too old to escape it.
Light suggests Myltyl sleep. Tylette calls Oak to summon the trees. Tylette and Oak tell them to terrorize the children of the wood-cutter. During a storm Myltyl, Tyltyl, Tylo, and Tylette run scared as trees fall and burn. They have to leave Tylette in the fire. Light guides Myltyl and Tyltyl to the future. They see children who are not yet born and meet a scientist and a reformer who will be destroyed. A boy is sad to leave a girl as many are called to earth; but most are eager to go. Myltyl, Tyltyl, and Tylo return home and say good-bye to Light. Mummy Tyl wakes Myltyl and Tyltyl, and they are glad to see their parents. They learn of a treaty. Myltyl sees her bird is blue, and she is happy. Myltyl shows her bluebird to Angela, but it flies away. Myltyl says they will find it again, because now they know where to look.
This mystical story conveys many spiritual truths about the attitude of happiness and shows the continuity of life after death and before birth. (Maeterlinck also wrote about karma and reincarnation.) The timeless message is that selfishness and greed lead to quarrels and war, while love and understanding nurture peace and happiness.

Sorry, I'm on a roll ;D ;D Shirley Temple to all intents and purposes never ages in the eyes of the world. She remains the child star, personified by the doll. That's another thing; if you put Shirley temple into google, you find there are people obsessed with collecting Shirley temple dolls. There are dolls on the 'butchers' album and on the Sgt Pepper album (including the wax work beatles)...what is this thing with dolls and the beatles? Plus I found this thread here on 601f about Ibsen and the doll's house 60if.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=60ifclues&action=display&thread=1062857781

Lest we forget they toyed with the idea of naming the Sgt. Pepper album 'A DOLL'S HOUSE" after the famous play.....

In fact they didn't. "A doll's house" was the provisional name for the White Album.
(excuse me for the correction)
