Lionel Barrymore and
The Spirit OF Lincoln
By Hcywood Broun

It will be we'll for the reputation Of
Lionel Barrymore II he returns every
little while to "Thc Copperhead' OF
Augustus Thomas. He has. TO be sure,
made brilliant mark in many another
play, notably in "Tns jest" last sea-
son, but IN nothing else il his work
OF such broad scope or so strikingiy in
dividual. The mechanics Of acting are
easy enough for Lionel Barrymore, but
the role of Milt Shanks depends on
something more than that. 1t demands
emotional acting in the highest sense
Of that much abused phrase.
There is almost a quality OF hypno-
sis in the playing Of the final scene
Of the Thomas play. SO extracrdina-
rily vivid does the description Of the
meeting a.-h Lincoln become as Barry
more nor shanks, but Lincoln. /. is "a
anal!y we have on the stage not Barry
more or ShapSs, but Lincoln. Il is as
much a miracle IS the mos. pulling

the Big theatre, and yet with this
rather unfavornble preparation Lionel
BARRYMORE was able 10 set his mig
in motion as soon as he came up1n the
stage.
