Combining comedy and drama, smiles and tears, children’s gang baftles and a pretty love story, “Little ‘Annie Rooney” is the type of play in which the public loves to see Mary Pickford, and the type she can do as no other actress can, “Little Annie Rooney” is as Irish as its name, and as Irish as the curly haired little ragamuffin who plays the title role. It deals with the young daughter of an Bast Side policeman whose play- ates are about thirty young boys and who enters into gang fights and rows of these tenement lads with all the vigor at her command. Unexpected tragedy stalks into the policeman’s family, and the girl is suddenly faced ‘with some of the grim realities of life that sel-| dom come to a child of her age.| Through ‘the gang battle ‘se- quences Miss Pickford romps glor-; jously, a leader of the dirty faced | boys and the idol of her gang. In the dramatic scenes she does some of the finest and most con- vincing work of her whole screen career, She is sweet and appealing as the sweetheart of her “Joe,” and| through the entire picture the artistry of Mary Pickford is again | revealed. While of the type of many of her best picturesl “Little Annie Rooney” has a new and strong plot, a carefully chosen cast of supporting players, and is photo- graphically beautiful throughout. | THRILLS GALORE IN : | .
