October 10, 1942, Article by Herb Sterne Originally appearing in a 1942 issue of SCRIPT MAGAZINE was this decidedly “pro” Lilian Gish (1893 – 1993) article concerning the silent film actress and her meteoric rise under the direction of D.W. Griffith, and her much appreciated march on Broadway.

Worth, Texas; Bequest of the Artist; P1979.140.157“Lilian Gish is
the damozel of Arthurian legend, tendered in terms of the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Her heroines perpetually hover in filtered

Raimund von Hofmannsthal, son of the author, is accompanying the party to the west coast. Lillian Gish continues to keep her diminutive person in the playgrounds of Europe, but she has her eye and her mind on her work. We learn that she is deep in the throes of working on a scenario, written for her by Hugo von Hoffmanstal and Max Reinhardt. Upon Joseph Schenck’s recent arrival in Europe, Professor Reinhardt, who will direct Miss Gish’s next production, gave a dinner party for his future star, at Schloss Leopoldskron, whereafter the wizard of Leopoldskron took occasion to settle much of the speculation as to the future plans of himself and Miss Gish.
