still an orphan.
James Whitcomb Riley, the
famous poet, was not aware when
he created his little tyke a half-
century ago that she would live
through the years to be carica
tured' in newspaper cartoons,
dramatized for radio broadcasts
j and presented in big feature talk-
I ing motion picture.
I But who is Annie? How did
I she become fajnous? What
made her “the orphan with ten
million homes?”
Her cartoon creator is Harold
Gray, who adopted the name for
a cartoon character as an appeal
ing one for an artist associated
with Sid Smith, of “The Gumps”
fame, on the Chicago Tribune,
Gray obtained' an insight into the
technique of carttponlng. On
August 5, 1924, he launched the
initial adventure of “Little Or
phan Annie” in the New York
Daily News.
.Annie made her debut without
special fanfare and proved an
instantaneous success, (jray ac
counted the immediate populari
ty to the uniqueness of his car
toon.
“I offered Annie as a t iny
mite, without mother or father.
This was decidedly an innova
tion in comic strips. In fact, it
wasn’t a comic strip. It was an
adventurous story told in car
toons. But it "seemed to be popu
lar.’”
The "Little Orphan Annie”
cartoon strip is now a daily fea
ture in scores of big newspapers
in the United States and Can
ada.
Artist Gray sometimes encoun
tered trials and perplexities with
his brain child. Readers lauded
and criticised. Why didn’t he
change Annie's attire once in a
while; why didn’t he give her
eyes pupils; why did he depict
Daddy Warbucks as a pauper—
such questions filled' the fans’
mail to him at the Chicago Tri
bune office.
In reply. Gray contended that
the public wants novelty. It is
,Weai;ied by the monotonous run
of trite jokes. In his comic
strip, he injects romance, sus
pense, thrills and dangers along
with freshness and originality, he
asserts.
Paralleling the success of
"Little Orphan Annie'! the comic
strip, is that of the radio broad
casts. In December, 1930, the
first etherized exploit of the red
headed girl was given on Station
WGN, Chicago. Her radio ad
ventures proved as^ fascinating
and thrilling as her newspaper
series, and four months later the
program became a nightly feature
over a National Broadcasting
company network of 24 stations,
emanating from' WGN.
In time the radio series ac
quired an audience of 5,000,000
boys and girls. Parents have
written letters to the network:
recounting tales of extended
trips In order that their young
sters might be near a radio at
broadcasting time.
The cameras and microphones
are the latest dlspenMiAi of enter
tainment to claim Annie as a fea-
.tuse length comedy-drama, “lAt-
'0* Orphan Aatnie,” an BKO-
Ratflo picture coming to the New
