"Little Annie Kooney" is a feature for everybody. It ha 3 laughs galore; i,t has a real story that holds one from start to finish; there is just a tear or two and a lot of human interest, but most of all there is Mary Pickford as a ragged little, tomboy of- is'ew York East Side, the leader of a gang of boys, a lighting, laughing, happy Irish lass of the alums, who meets her crucial test, when it comes, like the little heroine she is. It is the kind of picture that only Mary Pickford can play. It is the type that made her famous, and in "Little Annie Eooney" she is at her best. The theme moves through many different phases with ease and logical sequence, while the picture is rich in incidents' of both humorous and pathetic nature. Hard knocks and softened blows, sweethearts and rivals, alley fights ' and street games are feat?" 3 of the trials and tribulations of "Little Annie Eooney," waif of ,New York's slums, and never was Mary Pickford more laughterprovoking, more tear-compelling than in this portrayal of the ragamuffin, hoydenish role that made hen the world's sweetheart.
