Never Dull Moment With John Barrymore

he wrote is WORTH retnem-

The story of 1.-THE Great Profile"
Is largely fiction but obviously is
built on the character Of the real
John Barrymore. In spots, too,
it achieves unattended realism
There's a sequence in which his
manager tries to impress on him
that fact that he's broke-not only
broke but deeply and desperately
In debt. But the great actor isn't
worried, While that part of
the picture was being filmed, the
newspapers were carrying story
that John Barrymore actually was
$68 ,O21.54 in debt and that he had
asked federal bankruptcy experts
to take part of his $1,000 movie
wage each week and stave off the
creditors. He doesn't seem any more
worried than the man in the movie.

FROM STUDIO
He says his living expenses are
about $1,000 week, and that he'd
like to save part Of the rest of his
salary, leaving maybe $500 to be
tossed among the lawyers, agents
and tax collectors who are baying at
his door.

Elaine Barrie will appear with him
again on the stage, but she is re-
strained by agreement from coming

Now that the actor is behaving

doubt that he could learn the
lines. But he continues to use the
blackboard simply because he can
get by with it, and thus never
has to look at script. The studio
doesn't mind, either, because he Is
less inclined to spoil scenes with
censorable ad-libbing.

OF course he still digresses from
script sometimes. The other day
Mary Beth Hughes was required to
slap him, and she delivered a hay
