Character won't perform the animations

Is there any solution towards this small issue?

&TEENAGE MARIE moves to layer -1
&TEENAGE MARIE walks to spot 0.760 145 286 in 3 AND TEENAGE MARIE is walk_neutral_rear AND TEENAGE MARIE faces right
@pause for 4

@TEENAGE MARIE starts slapface_give_angry AND TEENAGE MARIE faces right
@pause for 1

The character just forgets to do the slapface animation and stands there. Doing nothing but Idle. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
