Don't Is Advice Of Gish Girls To
 Aspiring Stars
Sisters, Stars in The Two Orphans" |" Tell of Hard Work of Screen Actresses.

..Don't." said the Gish girls, in one breath and with emphasis, Don't! is our only advice to the girls who want to go into movies.'' ''But then,' add ed Miss Dorothy, If they could only see how hard we have to work don't think they'd want to any way. Do you know she continued, i've have one young cousin who doesn' want to s,1 into pictures. She was with us last summer and saw us working on when she went home if she didn't wan3 to be a moving picture actress and she said. No, thank you, 1 wouldn't want to do what you have to do!'"
 From watching lovely Lillian Gish preparing to have her head chopped off on Qac guilIotine in French ReVo- Iutionary days and charming Dorothy being Cverrun with rats in a dark eel lar, tc eating hot fudge sundae with them in Main street score is rather startling transition buA it was under such circumstances that ahe interview took place.
 I wish everyone could meet the Gish girls, they're so utterly unlike Whac moving picture actresses are supposed to be. They are two simple, sweet wholesome, well educated and refined young women, quite as ideal in life aS the heroines they portray on the screen. They don't wear rouge or biacken their eyebrows, or use loud language or talk about themselves Lillian is afraid of being recognized in public places and likes to pull down dhe half veil on her hat to dis guise her features. Lillian Is the more quiet of the two but Dorothy like to chat away about different things.
 She talks constantly of her hus- band, James Renney, who is now making a picture in California It will be a year on fhe 26th of the month since Dorothy and her chum, Constance Talmadge, slipped away to Greenwich and took husbands for themselves.
 I'm just worried to death that Jim wons get back in time for the anniversary. 1t would be awful, sim ply awful if he didn't get here. don't know what I'd do.
 'Whenever I think of Constance going to be divorced it makes me sick all over: I can't bear to thing of di- Vorce. It frightens me to think that something like that might happen to Jim and me. I simply can't think of it any more. I used to read the df- vorces in the papere but I don't even do that any more. Really, I don't know what ihe worlds coming to.
 "Constance's affair seems so awful because ours was so successtul posed Its Just the old law of com pensation working out, dear. again, yours turned out so well to balance theirs which dtdnt.'
 Dorothy is so full of enthusiasm for her husband that she can talk of little else.
 Really you know she said, mother is just as crazy about Jim as I am." and Lillian agreed.
 "Mother says tthat she waited a long while for a son-in-law but she certainly got a wonderful one" and Lillian added:
 band
 I suggested the possibility of a second son-in-law but Lillian shook her head and laughed:
 Not until I find one as good as Jim and I'm afraid that there are very few like him.
 The girls were interested in Bridge port, too. They wanted to know pers it had, what the people here were doing now that the war was over that is, had the industries turn ed back from institutions Of war to peace-time ones again. They also asked about the industrial depression and about the theatres and whether the fire in New Haven had effected theatre going here and abundant oth- little question.
 They were greatly amused at the thought of the big salaries they were supposed to get.
 Really said Dorothy. "it strikes
 me quite funny when I'm nSurlnS up my bills and trying to see where I'm going to come out. DO you know there was one story sent out saying that we pay $50 an ounce for perfume. I think its ridiculous and it's dangerous. too. It's quite enough to start an uprising of the people, just as the French Revo1u- ton started, as shown in the picture.'
 And, O yes, they wore: Lillian, a little dark dress. a long black. lprin- iy- ar1t 1SlyfJ0 ored hat. and Dorothy, a black velvet dress with a little whitet collar, a short squirrel coat and a. small black hat There was no display of iewe1ry and their costumes were the essence of refinement of good taste. I told them of the girl had seen earlier in the evening on Main street. very bleached blonde. very rouged, with eye brows blackened and start ling clothes and of the man who said to his companion, That must be Mary Pickford-I mean Lillian Gish she's in town tonight They laughed merriIy and Lillian exclaimed:
