HEARTS OF THE WORLD

Very few persons who have visited
the war zone have brought back with
them such vivid and unusual impress
sions as Lillian and Dorothy Gish
two of the many stars in D. w. Crit
fith's supreme triumph, Hearts of the
World" which will be seen in this
city for limited engagement at the
Grand for days with matinees daily,
commencing Monday night, Sept. %.
Lillian Gish, ever since the war be-
gan, has been thirty-third degree
war fan. She knows all about the
creeping barrage fire; she knows why
the British used the wrong kind of
ammunition at the outbreak of the
struggle and why the Germans lost
the battle of the Marine.
Dorothy, on the other hand, is will
ing to bequeath her title and entire
interest in all future wars to any am
bilious person. Dorothy says she was
scared to death all the time and only
had one happy moment; that was
when she boarded the steamer coming
home. AS usual in such circumstances
she drew the "scariest" experience.
They went over on the steamer that
took General Pershing to France.
Dorothy was impressed by the honor
OF going over with General Pershing.
She was about equally impressed with
the fact that the German submarines
would undoubtedly lie jim wait for the
steamer.
Her fears were quoted by General
Pershing in person. Early on the
voyage, her escort suggested that she
be introduced to the American COM
mander-in-chief. Both the Gish girls
are the sweetest and most modest of
girls and they had stage fright at the
suggestion.
