Letter from Lillian Gish, New York, New York, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1953 April 29 : autograph manuscript signed.

Writing that she wishes he lived closer to New York, sending him a copy of "Queen's encounters", and noting that "Eddie Dowling hasn't been heard from in months, but will eventually find your copy of "What Maisie saw"; mentioning that she saw Margaret O'Brien on Easter Sunday at the Stork Club, and remarking "I suspect she has a silly mother"; informing him that the theater has "offered nothing this year" and tha television "seems a better master of time"; commenting on plays she has seen recently, praising "John Brown's body", stating that "Camino Real infuriated me because it seemed endless" and that "The crucible" was "directed well but Arthur Miller seems a communist to me in all his writings."; informing him that R. Griffith told her "that he thinks he has found all the cuts from 'Intolerance' and wants me to add them to the picture. In its full length it would be Griffith's best film so I hope it is true."; writing that she doesn't want to do "Mrs. McThing" in summer stock and may sail to Europe.
