'''John Sidney Blyth Barrymore''' (February 15, 1882 – May 29, 1942)<ref>Kobler, John. ''Damned in Paradise: The Life of John Barrymore'', New York: Atheneum, 1977, p. 24</ref> was an American actor.<ref>Obituary ''[[Variety Obituaries|Variety]]'', June 3, 1942.</ref> He first gained fame as a stage actor in light comedy, then high drama and culminating in groundbreaking portrayals in Shakespearean plays [[Hamlet]] and [[Richard III (play)|Richard III]]. His success continued with motion pictures in various genres in both the [[silent film|silent]] and [[talkies|sound]] eras. Barrymore's personal life has been the subject of much writing before and since his passing in 1942. Today John Barrymore is mostly known for his roles in movies like ''[[Grand Hotel (film)|Grand Hotel]]'' (1932), ''[[Dinner at Eight (film)|Dinner at Eight]]'' (1933), ''[[Twentieth Century (film)|Twentieth Century]]'' (1934), and ''[[Don Juan (1926 film)|Don Juan]]'' (1926), the first ever movie to use a [[Vitaphone]] soundtrack.
 
A member of a multi-generation theatrical dynasty, he was the brother of [[Lionel Barrymore]] and [[Ethel Barrymore]], and was the paternal grandfather of [[Drew Barrymore]].
 
==Early life==
Barrymore was born in the Philadelphia home of his maternal grandmother.<ref>Kobler, John. ''Damned in Paradise: The Life of John Barrymore'', New York: Atheneum, 1977, p. 25</ref> His parents were [[Maurice Barrymore]] and [[Georgiana Drew|Georgie Drew Barrymore]]. His maternal grandmother was [[Louisa Lane Drew]] (aka Mrs Drew), a prominent and well-respected 19th century actress and theater manager, who instilled in him and his siblings the ways of acting and theatre life. His uncles were [[John Drew, Jr.]] and [[Mr. & Mrs. Sidney Drew|Sidney Drew]].
 
Barrymore fondly remembered the summer of 1896 in his youth, spent on his father's rambling estate on [[Long Island]]. He and Lionel lived a [[Robinson Crusoe]]-like existence, attended by a black servant named Edward. John was expelled from [[Georgetown Preparatory School]] in 1898 after being caught entering a bordello.<ref>Kobler, John. ''Damned in Paradise: The Life of John Barrymore'', New York: Atheneum, 1977, p. 41</ref>
 
Barrymore studied to be an artist and worked on New York newspapers before deciding to go into the family business as an actor. He made his stage debut in 1903. He first appeared on the London stage 2 years later.
 
While still a teenager, he courted [[showgirl]] [[Evelyn Nesbit]] in 1901 and 1902. For years, rumors swirled that Nesbit had become pregnant and that Barrymore had arranged an abortion, disguised as an operation for "appendicitis". Several years later, another Nesbit lover, famed architect [[Stanford White]], was murdered by Nesbit's husband, [[Pittsburgh]] millionaire [[Harry K. Thaw]]. Barrymore was subpoenaed to testify at Thaw's trial in defense hopes of showing that Nesbit had a history of "immorality." Both Barrymore and Nesbit denied the abortion story under oath.<ref>Kobler, John. ''Damned in Paradise: The Life of John Barrymore'', New York: Atheneum, 1977, p. 88</ref>
 
Barrymore was staying at the [[St. Francis Hotel]] in [[San Francisco]] when the [[1906 San Francisco Earthquake|1906 earthquake]] struck. He had starred in a production of ''The Dictator'' and was booked to tour Australia with it. Since he loathed this prospect, he hid, spending the next few days drinking at the home of a friend on Van Ness Avenue. During this drinking jag, he worked out a plan to exploit the earthquake for his own ends. He decided to present himself as an on-the-scene "reporter", making up virtually everything he claimed to have witnessed. Twenty years later, Barrymore finally confessed to his deception, but by then, he was so famous that the world merely smiled indulgently at his admission."<ref name=thomas&morgan>Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts: ''The San Francisco Earthquake'', Stein and Day, New York and Souvenir Press, London, 1971; reprinted Dell, 1972, SBN 440-07631, page 212</ref> His account was written as a "letter to my sister Ethel". He was sure the letter would be "worth at least a hundred dollars." In terms of publicity it earned Barrymore a thousand times that amount.<ref name=thomas&morgan/>
 
Barrymore was also great friends and a drinking buddy with [[baseball]] legend [[Mike Donlin]]. Donlin eventually appeared in two of Barrymore's silent movies, ''Raffles The Amateur Cracksman'' and ''[[The Sea Beast]]''.
 
==Early theatre and film career==
Barrymore delivered some of the most critically acclaimed performances in theatre and film history and was widely regarded as the screen's greatest performer during a movie career spanning 25 years as a leading man in more than 60 films.
 
Barrymore specialized in light comedies until convinced by his friend, playwright [[Edward Sheldon]], to try serious drama. Thereafter Barrymore created a sensation in [[John Galsworthy]]'s ''Justice'' (1916) co-starring [[Cathleen Nesbitt]]. It would be Nesbitt who would introduce him to [[Blanche Oelrichs]]. He followed this triumph with [[Broadway theatres|Broadway]] successes in ''[[Peter Ibbetson]]'' (1917), a role his father Maurice had wanted to play, [[Leo Tolstoy|Tolstoy's]] ''[[Redemption (play)|Redemption]]'' (1918) and ''[[The Jest]]'' (1919), co-starring his brother [[Lionel Barrymore|Lionel]], reaching what seemed to be the zenith of his stage career as [[Richard III (play)|Richard III]] in 1920. Barrymore suffered a conspicuous failure in his wife [[Michael Strange]]'s play ''[[Clair de Lune]]'' (1921), but followed it with the greatest success of his theatrical career with ''[[Hamlet]]'' in 1922, which he played on [[Broadway theatres|Broadway]] for 101 performances and then took to London in 1925.
 
Barrymore entered films around 1913 with the feature ''An American Citizen''. He or someone using the name ''Jack Barrymore'' is given credit for four short films made in 1912 and 1913 but this has not been proven to be John Barrymore. Barrymore was most likely convinced into giving films a try out of economic necessity and the fact that he hated touring a play all over the United States. He could make a couple of movies in the off-season theater months or shoot a film in one part of a day while doing a play in another part. He also may have been goaded into films by his brother Lionel and his uncle Sidney, who had both been successfully making movies for a couple of years. Some of Barrymore's silent film roles included [[A. J. Raffles]] in ''[[Raffles The Amateur Cracksman (1917 film)|Raffles the Amateur Cracksman]]'' (1917), ''[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920 film)|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'' (1920), ''[[Sherlock Holmes (1922 film)|Sherlock Holmes]]'' (1922), ''[[Beau Brummel (1924 film)|Beau Brummel]]'' (1924), [[Captain Ahab]] in ''[[The Sea Beast]]'' (1926), and ''[[Don Juan (film)|Don Juan]]'' (1926). When talking pictures arrived, Barrymore's stage-trained voice added a new dimension to his screen work. He made his talkie debut with a dramatic reading of the big Richard III speech from ''[[Henry VI, part 2]]'' in [[Warner Brothers]]' musical revue ''[[The Show of Shows (film)|'The Show of Shows]]'' (''"Would they were wasted: marrow, bones and all"'') , and reprised his Captain Ahab role in ''[[Moby Dick (1930 film)|Moby Dick]]'' (1930). His other leads included ''[[The Man from Blankley's]]'' (1930), ''[[Svengali (1931 film)|Svengali]]'' (1931), ''[[The Mad Genius]]'' (1931), ''[[Grand Hotel (film)|Grand Hotel]]'' (1932) (in which he displays an affectionate chemistry with his brother Lionel), ''[[Dinner at Eight (1933 film)|Dinner at Eight]]'' (1933), ''[[Topaze (1933 American film)|Topaze]]'' (1933) and ''[[Twentieth Century (movie)|Twentieth Century]]'' (1934). He worked opposite many of the screen's foremost leading ladies, including [[Greta Garbo]], [[Katharine Hepburn]], [[Jean Harlow]], [[Joan Crawford]], and [[Carole Lombard]]. In 1933, Barrymore appeared as a Jewish attorney in the title role of ''[[Counsellor at Law]]'' based on [[Elmer Rice]]'s 1931 play. As critic [[Pauline Kael]] later wrote, he "seems an unlikely choice for the ghetto-born lawyer...but this is one of the few screen roles that reveal his measure as an actor. His 'presence' is apparent in every scene; so are his restraint, his humor, and his zest."
 
==Later career==
Barrymore collapsed on his boat, ''The Mariner'', in 1929 off the coast of Mexico while on honeymoon with wife Dolores, requiring admittance into doctor's care. Much of his newly occurring health problems most likely stemmed from his consumption of bad and sometimes nearly poisonous illegal alcohol during the period of [[Prohibition]] in the United States. In the late 1930s, Barrymore began to lose his ability to remember his lines, and his diminished abilities were apparent in a surviving screen test that he made for an aborted film version of ''[[Hamlet]]'' in 1934. From then on, he insisted on reading his dialogue from [[cue cards]]. He gave one last bravura Shakespeare performance, as an overage [[Mercutio]] in the 1936 MGM ''[[Romeo and Juliet (1936 film)|Romeo and Juliet]]''. He continued to give creditable performances in lesser pictures, for example as Inspector Nielson in some of [[Paramount Pictures]]' [[Bulldog Drummond]] mysteries, and offered one last bravura dramatic turn in [[RKO]]'s 1939 feature ''[[The Great Man Votes]]''. After that, his remaining screen roles were broad caricatures of himself, as in ''The Great Profile'' (with "Oh, Johnny, How You Can Love" as his theme music) and ''World Premiere''. In the otherwise undistinguished ''Playmates'' with band leader [[Kay Kyser]], Barrymore recited the "To Be, or Not to Be" soliloquy from ''Hamlet''. In 1937, Barrymore visited India, the land where his father had been born. In his private life, during his last years, he was married to his fourth and last wife, Elaine Barrie, a union that turned out to be disastrous. His brother Lionel tried to help him find a small place near Lionel's house and to convince him to stay away from impetuous marriages, which usually ended in divorce and put a strain on his once large income.
 
He was known for calling people by nicknames of his own creation. [[Dolores Costello]] was known in his writing alternately as "Small Cat," "Catkiwee," "Winkie", and "Egg." He called Lionel "Mike", and Ethel called John "Jake". He called Blanche Oelrichs "Fig" and called their daughter Diana "Treepeewee".
 
==Death==
Barrymore collapsed while appearing on [[Rudy Vallee]]'s radio show and died some days later in his hospital room. His dying words were "Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him." [[Gene Fowler]] attributes different dying words to Barrymore in his biography ''Good Night, Sweet Prince''. According to Fowler, John Barrymore roused as if to say something to his brother Lionel; Lionel asked him to repeat himself, and he simply replied, "You heard me, Mike."
 
According to [[Errol Flynn]]'s memoirs, film director [[Raoul Walsh]] "borrowed" Barrymore's body before burial, and left his corpse propped in a chair for a drunken Flynn to discover when he returned home from The Cock and Bull Bar. This was re-created in the movie ''[[W.C. Fields and Me]]''. Other accounts of this classic Hollywood tale substitute actor [[Peter Lorre]] in the place of Walsh, but Walsh himself tells the story in Richard Schickel's 1973 documentary ''The Men Who Made the Movies''. However, Barrymore's great friend Gene Fowler denied the story, stating that he and his son held vigil over the body at the funeral home until the funeral and burial.<ref name="Kobler, John 1977, p. 364">Kobler, John. ''Damned in Paradise: The Life of John Barrymore'', New York: Atheneum, 1977, p. 364</ref>
 
He was buried in East Los Angeles, at Calvary Cemetery, on June 2. Among his active pallbearers were Gene Fowler, [[John Decker]], [[W.C. Fields]], [[Herbert Marshall]], [[Eddie Mannix]], [[Louis B. Mayer]], and [[David O. Selznick]].<ref name="Kobler, John 1977, p. 364"/> Years later, Barrymore's son John had the body reinterred at Philadelphia's Mount Vernon Cemetery.
 
==Legacy==
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, John Barrymore has a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] at 6667 [[Hollywood Boulevard]].
 
Barrymore had been a friend and contemporary (and drinking buddy) of his fellow [[Philadelphia]]n [[W. C. Fields]]. In the 1976 film ''[[W.C. Fields and Me]]'', Barrymore was played by [[Jack Cassidy]]. Cassidy, like Flynn and [[Douglas Fairbanks Jr.]] idolized Barrymore. Barrymore was also portrayed by [[Christopher Plummer]](''who was a friend of Diana Barrymore'') in the 1996 one-man show ''[[Barrymore (play)|Barrymore]],'' and by [[Errol Flynn]] in the 1958 film ''[[Too Much, Too Soon]].''
 
He is mentioned in the lyrics of the song "I May Be Wrong (But I Think You're Wonderful)" by Harry Sullivan and Harry Ruskin, written in 1929, which became the theme song of the [[Apollo Theater]] in New York, and which was recorded by many artists including [[Doris Day]] in 1950.
