With all 4 shorts together, the IMDB runtime is 65 minutes. However, the Colorized version I have from a Shirley Temple DVD has only 2 of the shorts together and runs under 28 minutes. The two shorts are:This film is not a documentary. It is a compilation of four 1933-1934 two-reel shorts from the Educational Pictures "Follies of Youth" the series name (distributed by Fox Film Corporation and in 1939 by Astor Pictures Corporation on re-release) stitched together , by Astor in 1942, to make a feature-length theatrical movie. Three different actresses played Mrs. George Rogers,(mother of the top-billed Frank Coghlan Jr. as "Sonny" Rogers and the 2nd- billed Shirley Temple as "Mary Lou Rogers." And two different actresses, Dorothy Ward and Mary Brickford, played the part of Phyllis Deal,, Sonny's sweetheart.
and alsoSonny wants a motorcycle for his birthday, and is disappointed when he learns that he is getting a dog instead.
Shirley plays a mischievous little preschooler imp who torments her high school brother. She has much more screentime in these two combined shorts than in the other 2 shorts where she plays the same character, so that is probably why an edited version was presented on the DVD that I have.Young Mary Lou tries to help her brother Sonny raise money so that he can attend a military academy.
