Hoodoo Ann 1

  The greatest heart throbs of life are not

always quickened into being by violence, sensation or thrills. Laughter, bitter tears and even tragedy frequent the humblest paths and create drama in the most obscure and peaceful corners of the earth.

2 The Clarissa Parker Orphanage.

3

  The pet of the orphanage, who

thus early has learned the art of fawning.

GOLDIE - - - - MILDRED HARRIS

4

  Hoodoo Ann, who, as a baby, had

been left at the Orphanage on one Friday, the thirteenth, without a friend to vouch for her.

  She lives in sweet unconsciousness 

of her unhappy lot.

 HOODOO ANN  -  -  MAE MARSH

5

  She invents a test of cleanliness

that was never found in the pages of the Homely Ladies Journal.

6 "Gosh ding that fly!"

7

  In the same village, on Peaceful

Street, lives a young artist, whose cartoons are some day to make him famous.

  JIMMY - - - - ROBERT HARRON

8 In the quiet home adjoining.

SAMUEL KNAPP - - WILBUR HIGBY

HIS WIFE - - LOYOLA O'CONNOR

9

  And next door live the

Higginses.

MRS. HIGGINS - ANNA HERNANDEZ

10

  Her husband, with a weakness

for hard cider.

 HIGGINS ...... CHARLES LEE

11 The Higginses at it again.

12 "If I walk dignified enough,

      maybe they'll like me."

13

  Jimmy's father, the big man

of the town.

 VANCE ... WILLIAM H. BROWN

14

  Anxious as she was to please,

she was always in the way.

15 "If you think you're an

       artist, paint the fence!"

16 After bedtime at the orphanage. A stolen moment with Cindy.

17 "You'll be hoodooed all your life, -

  till you're married! - After that,
  chile, you ain't goin' to need no
  hoodoo to make trouble!"

18

  While the Knapps, of Peaceful

Street, recall the loss of their little girl.

19 Recess time. Goldie neglects her family.

20

  The stolen matches, the

beginning of trouble.

21

  A playmate who doesn't 

run away.

22 "Now I know where

    your sweetheart lives!"

23

  A temptation too great for a

hungry little heart.

24 Mothering

25 Tragedy

26

  Broken, and now she can't 

return it.

27 "Do you know anything

       about Goldie's doll?"

28

  A lesson about George

Washington, who never told a lie.

29 "A liar is bound to end

          her days in prison!"

30

  That evening.
  The boys inspect their dangerous 

treasure.

31 "Where's my precious Goldie!"

32 "This is the wonderful child

     who saved little Goldie."

33 "Do you really mean it? Am I

   really going to ride in a Ford?"

34 "Did you hurt yourself?"

35 "Sure!"

36

  Then comes the bitter thought

that she must go back to the orphans.

37 "I told you!"

38

  With a heavy heart, she

is ready to go.

39 "You're going to stay here

       and be our little girl."

40

  Two years have now elapsed, with 

no sign of the hoodoo.

  In the matter of clothes, Miss Ann

has been allowed to go the limit, with "Vogy" as her guide.

41 Home from a party. Another dream come true.

42

  A casual and mysterious stranger,

whom we advise you to remember.

43 "Good night!"

44 "Good night!"

45 "Good night!"

46 A short time later. The stranger again.

47 To "the movin' pitchers."

56 FATHERS DEAR OLD TIN PALE

57 WITH DEADLY AIM STRAIGHT AT

THE HEART OF HIS ENEMY -

58

  Inspired by Pansy Thorne's work

in moving pictures, Ann rummages around for costumes.

59

  Unconscious that the gun 

is loaded.

60

  The Higginses' daily quarrel

becomes more violent.

61 "This has gone far enough.

        I'll put an end to it!"

62 "Was that a shot?"

63

  The Higginses' windows

next door.

64

  The constable and marshal

hear the shot.

65

  Little Ann's hoodoo reappears,

grown into the dignity of tragic fate.

66 A strange disappearance.

67 Supper-time

68 "Have you seen Bill?"

69

  Mrs. Higgins inquires of the

town marshal.

70 "What has become of him!"

71 The blood-spot.

72 "He's crawled away to die,

 like the man in the picture!"

73 After a sleepless night.

74

  Mrs. Higgins has applied to the 

neighbors for help in her search.

75

  For a moment poor little 

Ann forgets her tragedy.

76 "I'm going to make a lot of money now. Will you have me?"

77 "I mustn't tell you the reason,

      but I can't marry you."

78 "Got any trace of Bill

     Higgins yet, Marshal?"

79 "That old woman's

 made way with him!"

80 "We found blood-stains

       on the back steps."

81

  Constable Drake recalls

Ann's suspicious actions.

82 "Say, did you ever hear

them quarreling over there?"

83 "Ssh! I think it's

  that girl of Knapp's."

84 "No, we got a pretty straight case

 against Mrs. Higgins. She was
 heard to threaten him."

85

  They try to force a confession

from Mrs. Higgins.

86 "You don't think I'd kill

     my old man, do you?"

87 "I heard her say she'd fix him."

88 "She's innocent. I did it!"

89 "Well, you know

   that hard cider ......."

90 "I 'lowed I wouldn't stand

   Sarah's jawin' any longer!"

91 "I don't know

      how long I slept."

92 "It was a darn cold night ......."

93 "And so you see I came back!"

94 "Here's yer cat, Mis' Higgins.

 Somebody must a' shot it!"

95

  The wedding of Ann is the funeral 

of the hoodoo; and let us hope that Black Cindy's foreboding as to married life will never come true.

96 "Answer, or it won't happen!"

97 "Is it over?"
