[commentary track]
Billed as “6 Years Old, 42 In. Tall and 42 Lbs Big!” on posters for The Lawton Story (aka The Prince of Peace), Ginger Prince went on to star in three other of Babb’s films: One Too Many, The Secrets of Beauty, and Delinquent Angels*. She never clicked with the trashy audiences Babb’s movies were attracting by then, and the films eventually found their way into K. Gordon Murray’s “Kiddie Matinee”where they did much better.

*Delinquent Angels might not exist. It might have been advertised but never made, like Father Bingo**. It might have been renamed and sold as a new movie. Who knows! This was common for these films as nobody was really keeping close track. Except for Irwin (the accountant).

**John Waters swears that a print of Father Bingo exists. (He’s wrong.)

lyrics

Somehow they got it in their heads that she would be a star. I don't think they realize that cuteness only goes so far. Try as they might, Ginger Prince is not Shirley Temple. Try as they might, Ginger Prince is not Shirley Temple.

(All 42 inches of the Delinquent Angel can't measure up to America's Princess.)

What's so hard to understand? We all know the Skid Row clan won't buy into that kind of fluff. This is kid stuff. This is kid stuff. This is kid stuff. This is kid stuff.

You're wasting your time. You're wasting your time. You're wasting your time.

They're both cute little girls. They're both in the movies. And that's about where the similarities end.

Ginger Prince is not Shirley Temple. Ginger Prince is not Shirley Temple.

You're wasting your time. You're wasting your time.
