  <abstract>Chiefly synopses of silent films and scripts of plays, films, and television productions in which Gish did not appear; and scripts, some annotated, for productions in which she did perform, including the plays All the Way Home, Anya, I Never Sang for My Father, Nine Pine Street, Portrait of a Madonna, The Star-Wagon, and Uncle Vanya, the film The Night of the Hunter, and a television production of Arsenic and Old Lace.  Includes correspondence, interviews, legal files, financial records, printed matter, and other papers relating primarily to her involvement in organizations such as the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the America First Committee; her sister, the actress Dorothy Gish; and lawsuits brought against Gish by producer Charles H. Duell (b. 1889), in the 1920s.  Also includes a holograph testimonial written by the author Eugene O'Neill to his wife Carlotta.</abstract>
