She remains undisturbed...

"The little things of life simply don't worry her at all. Gales of temperament can rage around her - she remains undisturbed. I have seen her at a time when anyone else would have been distraught with anxiety, come quietly in from the set, eat her luncheon calmly and collectedly, then pick up some little book of philosophy and read it steadily until they sent for her."

 - Phillis Moir (secretary to Lillian, 1925 - 27)

George Seignian Jack Colter …………………………………………………R. Walsh THE dominant note in “The Angel of Contention” is very clearly – indicated in the title. Lillian Gish is the angel in a rough settlement of cattle men.

Lillian Gish continues to keep her diminutive person in the playgrounds of Europe, but she has her eye and her mind on her work.
