Auction History Result 9m474 LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY German 9x12 transparency LC 1926 pretend sheriff Mary Pickford on horse! Date Sold 9/10/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1926 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage German Photographic Transparency Lobby Card (measures 9 1/4" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]) (Learn More) Little Annie Rooney, the 1925 William Beaudine silent New York City romantic juvenile street kids crime mystery melodrama (about a 12 year old girl who is a tough street kid in a poor neighborhood, and her father is a cop, and a street gang moves in the neighborhood, and her father is shot, and word spreads that a boy she liked was the shooter, and her brother shoots that boy, but it turns out he didn't do it, and she goes to the hospital and gives a blood transfusion that saves the boy's life!) starring Mary Pickford (in the title role as Little Annie Rooney), William Haines, Walter James, Gordon Griffith, Carlo Schipa, and Spec O'Donnell. Note that Pickford was convincing as a 12 year old girl, even though she was 32 when this movie was made. She had been trying hard to get to play non-juvenile rules (and who could blame her?), but the two adult roles she had taken had not done well at the box office. She had to find another movie where she was a juvenile, and she chose the 1889 music hall song "Little Annie Rooney" as the basis for her character in this movie. The song was still popular in 1925, and it not only inspired this movie, but also, after the movie, it inspired a long-running comic strip! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare full-color German transparency lobby card and it measures 9 1/4" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]. It is full-color on the front and the back has a reverse image, and it is made of a plastic material, and it is very striking in person! Condition: good. The transparency lobby card has darkened and stained around the edges and the image has darkened (we artificially brightened our image somewhat, so it could be seen better, but the actual image is darker than what you see, although you can clearly make out the entire image). We tried to simply photograph it, and we have included that photo, but that image is far too dark, because this is very difficult to photograph! The actual transparency lobby card is in between how the two images appear! Learn More about condition grades
