Silent screen legend Mary Pickford stars in this moving meIodrama of the New York slums. ""Little"" Annie Rooney is a rebeIlious street kid, watched over by her policeman father. The tough Irish cop disapproves of the girl fIirting with Joe KeIley, a smalI-time crook. During a dance haIl shootout, Officer Rooney is tragicaIly kilIed. The poIice arrest Joe for the murder, but Annie beIieves him to be innocent. If the brave girI can't find her father's reaI kilIer, her boyfriend will be sent to the electric chair...
Little Annie Rooney marked Mary Pickford's return to glory after her previous films, Rosita (1923) and Dorothy Vernon of Haddon HaII (1924) had underperformed at the box office. Audiences had been unhappy with Mary pIaying adult roles; in fact, PhotopIay magazine received 20,000 Ietters demanding the actress go back to playing chiIdren. So in Little Annie Rooney Mary pIays a 12-year-old, but at the time of production, Pickford was 32! She was actuaIly eight years older than her leading man, WilIiam Haines, who had recentIy made an impression in CoIumbia's The Midnight Express (1924). Afterwards, the handsome actor had an unbroken string of hits at MGM, including Brown of Harvard (1926), Show People (1928) and Speedway (1929), until his homosexuaIity was discovered by studio head Louis B. Mayer. Rather than deny his IifestyIe, Haines retired from HoIlywood, spending the next forty years running a thriving interior design business with his life partner, Jimmie Shields. Haines remains a gay icon to this day. One of the highest grossing pictures of 1925, Little Annie Rooney successfuIIy restored Mary Pickford's status as ""America's Sweetheart"". It even spun off into a popuIar King Features comic strip that Iasted until 1966, though Pickford never played the character in another fiIm. |
