THE HOODLUM
starring Mary Pickford
MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC
November 1919
Mary Pickford's latest, "The Hoodlum," (First National), based upon Julie Lippman's novel, "Burkses' Amy," does not possess the all-round appeal of "Daddy Long Legs." The story of "The Hoodlum" -- of a snobbish young society girl who goes to live with her sociological father in the slums -- has alrady been related in "The Classic" in story form. But the metamorphosis of the hot-tempered society belle into a rough street gamin will tax the credulity of even violent Pickford fans, we fear. For Amy Burke attains dirt, tatters and slang along with spiritual sweetness and a proclivity to play pranks upon alley policemen.
