John Barrymore
Wins on Many
Counts

dOLL4 Y WOOO.
At a party the other night some
one asked, "Who is the movie man
of the year for 1882" Eighteen
Of the 81 persons voted for John
Barrymore. Here are some of the
reasons given:
That in the past year he has
made a success of a marriage for
which every one predicted disaster;
that he has made a miraculous
physical comeback; that he is the
most colorful personality in Holly
wood. And that he is practically
the first movie star on record to
zoom back to the film heights after
he had been pronounced down and
out.
Twelve months ago. when the
name John Barrymore" was men,
toned In these parts, 1t was usually
accompanied with smile of deri-
sion. 1t was rumored that he was
on the wagon: that he was working
out at gymnasium; that he was
determined to settle down to his
acting career. And to make "go"
of his marriage with Elaine Barrie.
But no one believed that they
were more than rumors. John, they
argued, was too old-56-to change
his ways, and, besides, studios were
afraid to trust him with important
roles. He was too unreliable.
Mr. Barrymore has made liars of
