Lillian Gish's Promotion Materials for MGM's Annie Laurie

 

This is a promotional booklet for a New York screening. Notable for two reasons. First, no mention of leading man. Second, look how high the Scottish plaid! Her knee socks nearly approach her knees in the drawing, but the exposed thigh, which did not appear in the film, is suggestive moviegoers might see a bit more Gish than in the past.

 

This is an original image, taken by me, of the souvenir book for "Annie Laurie." It is beautifully done and Miss Gish's attire is consistent with her appearance in the film, i.e. she exposed no thighs. Not also, the terrier peaking from under the skirt. My memory is that was in the film. The program was better done and more interesting than the most of the film.

Program notes later.

At work on the Annie Laurie archives.
