Little Annie Rooney. Mary Pickford, after several seasons as a great lady, has once more returned to short skirts and wistfulness of the type that made her famous. After competing with Pola Negri, Gloria Swanson and the rest for the honor of being America's fiancee, she returns to the role of America's sweetheart. She plays Policeman Rooney's daughter; throws tomatoes and has her bare knees scratched. Her best loved young man is nearly killed by a bullet and saved by a blood transfusion.

Though still relatively a young man, the world in which he spent his money with such debonair magnificence and through which he raced in his roaring automobiles has largely vanished; even the scenes of his gayeties are being removed. Delmonico's, where he gave numerous dinners, recently closed its doors; Madison Square Garden, at whose ringside his plump beetling face often brooded, has been pulled down...
