"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."   Marcel Proust

Dear Miss Gish, Happy birthday.

October 14 2016

Plenty of news coverage on Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature. Best coverage in Wall Street Journal.  He was also recipient of the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize! 

Also, on page D5 of the Wall Street Journal is a small photo of Constance Talmadge. The Mountain Girl from Griffith's 1916 "Intolerance."   Placement in connection with a cable service that broadcasts classic silent films for around $8 per month.
