186 THE TWENTIES In 1926 Lillian Gish, directed by Victor Seastrom, starred in The Scarlet Letter for Metro-GoldwynMayer. In this picture of the company on location, Seastrom is seated on the ground beside Miss Gish. To the right, in the black Puritan costume, is her leading man, Lars Hanson. Notice the violin-melodeon-cello ensemble at the left. Even in the open spaces of the Hollywood hills, music had to provide atmosphere. BELOW The climactic pillory scene of The Scarlet Letter, in which Lars Hanson, as the Reverend Dimmesdale, denounces himself as the father of Hester Prynne's child.
