168 THE TWENTIES Retreating strategically from such parts as Dorothy Vernon, Mary Pickford went back to an adolescent role in Little Annie Rooncy, which, judging from this still, was hardly a problem play. The fans adored it. The Pickford-Fairbanks couple did not rely solely on their personal popularity, but, in addition, gave the public productions that were the last word in technical excellence. Chaplin's contribution to the year was one of his best pictures— to many people, the best— The Gold Rush. There are some, too, who find a parallel between the story of the film and Chaplin's own ragsto-riches career. Be that as it may, the picture had many a scene over which veteran Chaplin fans still chuckle fondly— the dinner of boot soles and shoe laces, for example. Another is the dance-hall scene, shown here. The girl is Georgia Hale.
