Not so with Lillian Gish: after hearing her tell it, I believe she’'ll make that movie if it breaks her. Miss Gish, the flutter-and-throb girl of the silents, has be- come quite a cosmopolite since her voluntary desertion of the screen that made her famous. Those ten-odd years away from Hollywood, years spent in much success on the New York stage, in travel, in writing, have been kind to her appearance. She looks as slim, as pretty, as slightly fey a person as the Griffith ingenue whose history, like Mary Pickford's, was practically the movies’ history. It's a movie about the movies, as you may have heard, that Miss Gish is burning to make. She has the script ready—she did it in collaboration with Myron Brinig, author of “The Sisters” and other novels—and it's going the rounds of the studios. She wants to play in it, and she wants David Wark Griffith to play in it and help produce it. “I'm afraid the studios fear new things” she says, in her guest room at Pickfair. “Once I wanted to make a religious picture, and everyone was sure a religious picture would fail. So I put my own money into it and ‘The White Sister’ broke some records.” Hollywo | | | | | The film, as she projects it, would be a serious study of the growth of the movie industry from its beginnings.

It would touch upon the making of many of his history-making pictures, “The Birth: of a Nation,” “Way Down East,” “Intoler- ance” and “Broken Blossoms.” “Mr. Griffith did more,” she says, “to develop motion pic- tures than any other man. Hollywood doesn’t glorify heroes until they're dead, ordinarily. How much better to make a picture about Griffith when he’s here to help us! Perhaps Hollywood is chary about talking of itself on the screen. Mr. Griffith and I have been away long enough that we could come in, practically as strangers, and do the film without giving the impression of Hollywood-boasting-about-Hollywood. “There's another thing. America may not lead the world in some things, but in motion pictures there is no question of Hollywood's leadership. I think we ought to tell the world about what Hollywood has done, threugh a serious film. Box-office? It would have nostalgic interest, surely, for fans who knew the old pictures, for all those who have grown up since and seen revivals. And it would have interest for anyone who knows pictures as they are today. And finally, it would be entertaining—because we'd see to that.” The girl who left the stage when she was 12 to cover her “gwkward age” in that new, scorned medium of the movies— where she stayed some 20 years—is not lingering.in Hollywood this time. She leaves soon for Broadway, but she may make a movie at once if one of the Hollywood companies carries out its THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNES| DAY, SEPT. 13, 1939.
