DOLORES AND SHIRLEY

CURTES

These two girls were born in 1924 or '25 and were from California.  Were they twins? Perhaps but probably not.  For some reason they made news in 1937 when they were 13 years old.  I believe that is when the above pictures were taken, indicating this is when the parents decided to put the girls in the show business. See the last news cutting for more. They were still at it as late as 1953 with the Meeker shows and still billed as "the only midget Twins in the entertainment World."

Thanks to Elizabeth Anderson at Ratt's Phreeque Show for providing the following document dated 1937
