Little Annie Rooney is a 1925 film directed by William Beaudine, starring Mary Pickford and William Haines.Annie Rooney (Pickford) is a spunky teen girl (Pickford was 34 years old) living in the slums of New York. Annie is a tomboy and leader of a gang of teens, who frequently engage in alley-wide brawls with a rival teen gang, the Kid Kellys. Annie isn't always a tomboy, though; she has a crush on Joe Kelly (Haines). Jack is the leader of the Big Kellys, a grown-up gang of petty criminals. Annie's brother Tim is a member of the Big Kellys, as their father is a policeman. Many wacky hijinks ensue as Annie engages in her high-spirited adventures and admires Joe from afar—until tragedy suddenly ensues.

comment
Officer O'Hara: Pops Rooney is straight out of central casting, saying things like "'Tis proud I am." He has no idea his son is a petty hoodlum.

Establishing Character Moment
 Little Annie Rooney / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: The very first shot has members of the Kid Kellys drawing an unflattering caricature of Annie on a wall. Annie sees them, and flings a brick. A massive brick-throwing brawl breaks out.

Fruit Cart
 Little Annie Rooney / int_d498390f
comment
Fruit Cart: A spin on the old trope. No one crashes into a fruit cart, but the brawling kids wind up spooking a horse attached to a fruit cart, which promptly bolts, spilling fruit everywhere.

 Little Annie Rooney / int_fcdf597b
comment
Titled After the Song: A latter-day viewer might not know, and might be puzzled by a reference in the film to "the hated song"—but "Little Annie Rooney" was a popular dance hall song that dated back to the late 19th century.
