Boy Wonder:
The day Wally Reid died, I was having lunch with Griffith, Gish and Hayes. Somebody came in and told us what happened, and Gish started crying, right away. She said, "Poor Wally. Poor Wally. What am I going to do now?" Had to leave the table, she was crying so hard. Old Will Hays, of course, got up to go after her. She used to bring that out in people. And as he left, he turned to us and he shot this out like spit, and he said, "Good riddance. Good riddance to bad rubbish." After they were gone, Griffith turned to me, and he was smiling. I'd never seen that son of a gun look so happy in my life. You know what he said? He said, "God bless him. God bless that poor son of a b*tch for not dying in the middle of my picture." And then he ate Lillian's dessert.
