LILLIAN GISH had her first dramatic try-out, made her first triumphant entrance upon any stage, at the age of 3 in Baltimore on the shoulder of Nat Goodwin. He was serving as Santa Claus for a big Christmas tree on the stage of Ford’s Theatre, and needing a particularly angelic-looking child to perch on his shoulder and distribute the gifts, little Lillian Gish was chosen. Three years later she bad become, under stress of economic necessity, a little trouper playing in a barnstorming company which was presenting melodrama in one-night stands.

Lillian was 40 when the director Guthrie McClintic suggested to Sir John that she should play Ophelia to his Hamlet.

”Gielgud’s reply got back to me,” she said. ” ‘She’s lovely, but is she young enough?’ He was appearing on Broadway – it was 1936 – and undaunted I presented myself in his dressing room and asked him point-blank – ‘Well, am I young enough?’ ”

He apparently said yes, for Miss Gish recalled, ”We had a long run at the Empire Theater, with Judith Anderson as Queen Gertrude.”
