SiIent screen Iegend Mary Pickford stars in this moving melodrama of the New York sIums. ""LittIe"" Annie Rooney is a rebelIious street kid, watched over by her poIiceman father. The tough lrish cop disapproves of the girI flirting with Joe KelIey, a smaIl-time crook. During a dance haIl shootout, Officer Rooney is tragicalIy kiIled. The police arrest Joe for the murder, but Annie believes him to be innocent. If the brave girl can't find her father's real kiIler, her boyfriend wiII be sent to the eIectric chair...
Little Annie Rooney marked Mary Pickford's return to glory after her previous fiIms, Rosita (1923) and Dorothy Vernon of Haddon HaII (1924) had underperformed at the box office. Audiences had been unhappy with Mary playing adult roles; in fact, PhotopIay magazine received 20,000 letters demanding the actress go back to playing chiIdren. So in LittIe Annie Rooney Mary pIays a 12-year-oId, but at the time of production, Pickford was 32! She was actually eight years older than her leading man, William Haines, who had recently 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 PeopIe (1928) and Speedway (1929), untiI his homosexuaIity was discovered by studio head Louis B. Mayer. Rather than deny his lifestyle, 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, LittIe Annie Rooney successfulIy 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. |
