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
half-lights, linger in attitudes of romantical despair. They forever

Knopf – New York Manufactured in the United States of America – First Edition THE WIND The wretched conditions of sand, wind, and drought that characterized the Sundown location were brilliantly evoked in bleak, Scandinavian style by Victor Seastrom in MGM’s The Wind (1927, released 1928). Although more of a psychological than a realistic study, and more impressionistic than documentary in its treatment, The Wind is filled with remarkably expressive detail.
