Mary Pickford in Little Annie Rooney (1925)“Like the Virgin Mary with her Argentine shepherd girl from The Gaucho, Pickford’s white Eva characters are often placed in close proximity to nonwhite characters so that they have narrative opportunities to demonstrate their Eva-like tolerance and sympathy for the downtrodden. A late-career Eva type — albeit a brick-wielding one — appears in Little Annie Rooney, which was based on a story that Pickford wrote herself. The actress plays twelve-year-old Irish American Annie, the scrappy ringleader of a child gang that includes boys who are Jewish, African American, Greek, Mexican, and Chinese.” — Elizabeth Binggeli, Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies. -- source link
