Dutch actress Annie van Ees (1893-1970) performed hundreds of times in the stage play Boefje [Little Rascal] (1922). Boefje is a little streetboy who is always into mischief but has a heart of gold. In 1935 Annie had already played Boefje 500 times, often together with her husband, stage director Cor van der Lugt Melsert. In 1939, when Van Ees was 45 and mother, she starred again as Boefje in a film after the play, directed by Detlev Sierck, the future Douglas Sirk.
