What happens

Mother Carey's Chickens is a 1938 American drama film starring Anne Shirley and Ruby Keeler. The film was directed by Rowland V. Lee and based upon a 1917 play by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Rachel Crothers, which in turn was adapted from Wiggin's Mother Carey's Chickens. At a low point in her career, Katharine Hepburn was offered the lead role, but she turned it down and instead bought out her RKO contract for $75,000 to become an independent actress. In 1963, Walt Disney released Summer Magic, a loose remake of this film, with Hayley Mills as Nancy Carey. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
