"She's given all her life secrets to the confession magazines," I said, "and so the only way I can get a hne on her is through you." Jim whispered in my ear, but I'm not a sentimental writer so I'm not going to print what he said. All I have .to say is that a gal who loves money in order to give it away to friend and foe is a greater gal than Rose of "The Miracle Man," and the Lord knows I feU for her. Lillian Fights Alone [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 63 ] This is the old Gish curse — the Lillian tradition. Because she has never marched her emotional life before the eyes of the world, or had it paraded by yellow newspapers, she has been denounced as inhumanly chill. Because she has steamed up the interest of brilliant figures in the literary world, she is thought to be merely a glinting Mind, topped by yellow hair and held up by a couple of clothes poles. Because she has never burned up Paris, bathed in a hotel fountain, bought a ten-carat diamond and divorced seven idiotic brokers she has been passed up for pretty numbskulls not fit to wind her wrist watch. The whole tragi-comic story of the cruel, untrue Gish tradition was summed up by a Princeton boy a few years ago. Referring to a non-petting, non-skid, four wheel braked damsel of his acquaintance, he said "She's safe as a Gish!" A smart crack, and it passed into common use. That's what the world and its sweetie thought of Lillian Gish! Well, what is the real LUlian Gish? Why. one of the most human, most charming and loveliest girls it is possible to meet in this most improbable of all worlds! Is she just a great white Mind? CHE has a dashing, vivid, ever-active sense '-'of himior. With people she likes she flames with warmth and charm. Is she the Snow Girl of the Cinema? She charms and captivates great writers and critics and has been known to smile a se\"en foot trafiic cop out of passing a ticket when she has skipped past a red light on the .-V venue. Does she make a pose of keeping out of the spotlight? Why, Lovely Lil has been an actress since she has been able to stand alone on a stage and pipe a line. For 25 years she has been in, of and for the theater and the screen. Her life has been about as private as that of a popular head waiter. Now she loves her friends and her home with a consuming fire. If she likes to take her ease among them, preferring talk and tea to a ringside table in a night-club lunatic asylum, is she being snootily aloof? Look at her service record, studded with honors. Belasco called her the most beautiful blonde in the world. For years she was the chosen vessel by which Griffith, the star-maker, poured his genius across the screens of the world. Hundreds of thousands of words have been written about her by ink-slingers great and small. FUm fans have been for her and against her. But some have been heedlessly neutral. Everything has been said about her, it seems to me, save that she is a beautiful, lovable human being with a fighting heart almost without parallel in the entertainment world. It is the old Gish curse — that we millions prefer our idols to be playthings of purple Every advertisement In PHOTOrL.iY M.\GAZINE Is guaranteed.
