made to step up egg output. The
increase in commercial Matching Of

unless they have wish to win, a
desire so strong that they never
give UP. Someone has said that
the best angle from which to APP

You are never defeated as long as
you keep trying. Yon are licked the

neys along the less familiar trails v
books of the Bible. These +
stops are worth while, n
and encourage further study of I

much surprised to find so large an =
amount of usable material off the n

When Barrymore returned to America, he
tried illustrating, found that good jobs were
hard to locate. So back to the stage and pic
lures again. Lionel did everything from
Pearl White serial, The Exploits of Elaine"
to appearing on the stage with Constance
Collier and his brother Jack in Du Maurier's
Peter Ibbetson," with Jack in THE JEST"
and as Milt Shanks in 1.-The Copperhead."
In 1904 he had married Doris Rankin, but
that marriage ended in divorce in 1922.
Losting Romance
IT WAS while appearing in ''The Claw
that he met Irene Fenwick. This became the
great romance of his life. Lionel and Miss
Fenwick were married in Riverside, Cali
fornia, on July Ia, 1928 After their marriage
Lionel and Miss Fenwick appeared together
in several plays. Then he was summoned to
Hollywood, in 1926, to play the villainous
sea captain in The Barrier" and thus
Barrymore began his long connection with
Metro-G Goldwyn-M Mayer. In 1929, with his
film popularity secure, Lionel made his last
effort to get away from acting. He tried direct
ing, first making Madame x" with Ruth
Chatterton starred.
No Barrymore can touch anything without
leaving lasting mark on it. While making
Madame X' Lionel was the first motion
picture director ever to attempt the use of a
moving camera The experts protested, but it
worked.
But Lionels popularity as star soon
pulled him back to acting.
Irene Fenwick died the day before Christ
mas in 1896. Lionel was crushed. He was
scheduled to do Dickens's Christmas Carol"
over the radio that night, but John Barry
more substituted. Lionel was far too i'll to try.

Barrymores dressing room is a combina-
ton Office studio and music room. Here he
works on his etchings, which have attracted
much attention. Several made the 100 Prints
of the Year." Not so long ago there was
Barrymore exhibit at Dallas. He is member
of the Society of American Etchers. As COM
poser, too, he has earned no little recognition.
His orchestral suite, ''Tableau Russo" was
presented in Los Angeles by the Federated
Orchestra with James Sample as conductor.
There was quite an ovation and Lionel had to
take bow
Barrymore's love of art and music dates
back to boyhood days. The theater, on the
other hand, was porn in him. His parents
we're Maurice Barrymore and George Drew
Barrymore, reigning stage stars of their day.
His grandmother was Louisa Drew; John
Drew was an uncle of his, and he was god
son of Helena Modjeska
Lionel was born in Philadelphia in 1873
He made his debut with his grandmother in
1898 in The Rivals" Shortly after that he
fell i'll and had to build himself up with careful
gymnasium work. Lionel tried the stage
again, and in 1909 he first met David Wark
Griffith and appeared in some of that famous
pioneers early Biograph films. His very first
was called Friends. In the cast were Henry
B. Walthall and little blond actress named
Mary Pickford.
Barrymore was restless, however, and sud-
denly went to Paris to study art. He took up

yet one of the best loved in all America
- - Stranger still, he maintains two
homes, one for himself, one for his memories
Where most men would give up, he goes on
fighting his lonely battle - and fighting it
from wheel chair.
This dramatic figure in world of make
believe is Lionel Barrymore On April % of
last year he was given an international party
by his friends; stars. executives, writers, vari-
Gus notables gathered for dinner to celebrate
his sixty second birthday. The party went
all over the nation by RADIO to the far corners
of the earth by short wave. 1t was happy
occasion, but somehow Lionel Barrymore
smiled little sadly from his wheel chair
Barrymore lives in rambling farmhouse
out at Chatsworth, in the San Fernando
Valley. Here he raises roses, orange trees,
Indian corn and razorback hogs. The hogs
came about by chance, being acquired to root
out the rattlesnakes But now Lionel has devel-
oped prize hogs. One of them came off with
aprize at last year s Los Angeles County Fair.

teen years of his marriage to the actress Irene
Fenwick When he first met her, Miss Fen
wick had just turned to drama from musical
comedy. She was born Irene Frizzel in Chi
cago in 1887, was ten years younger than
Lionel When she died, after long illness in
1886, Barrymore closed the house, leaving a
caretaker in charge. Things were left exactly
as they we're the day his wife died. Mirrors
and little items of vanity and beauty still lay
exactly as she left them on her boudoir table.
Barrymore often goes back alone to visit this
house. shuts himself away alone in it. Here

Soft Under the Surface

0ARRYMoRE despises sympathy. He asks no
quarter. gives little. Many people about the
Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer Studios look upon
him as gruff and hard; many are even afraid
of him. But there is another side A month or
so ago Barrymore was helping in the test of
a young actor when he jammed his hand in a
door on the set In spite of the pain Lionel
went on with the test. Someone, thinking the
lad friend of the Barrymore family, asked

Barrymore is usually a silent, brooding
figure in the studio. Not that he lacks a fash
ing sense of humor, not that he isn't an anus
ing conversationalist. But usually he sits
silent, watching
Barymore's physical condition dates back
to events almost thirty years ago. He was
about to start work in pioneer picture being
made by George Fitzmaurice at Fort Lee,
New Jersey. That night, exercising with his
friend Wladek Zbyszko, the famous wrestler,
he slipped, cracked his knee. Instead Of under
going immediate treatment, he merely taped
up his knee and reported for work. An infec-
ton developed, and later limp. One day,
almost four years ago, he was painting and
the easel fell against him. The sudden shift
in weight pushed him to the floor. breaking
his hip. He spent weeks in hospital cast
while it healed When he returned in a film
called Saratoga" he slipped again, once
more breaking the hip. Complications set in
and the limb stiffened. Although Barrymore
can get about with crutches, and can even
take few steps without them the fear of
falling always confronts him. The actor has
been battling that fear - and in few months
he hopes to be on his feet again for good. 1t
has taken courage to face this inability to
walk, to push aside the constant pain, to
overcome the tragic loss of his wife, but
Barrymore goes on, facing life from his chair,
holding his own in hurrying world.
