escapades, would one expect TO
find a rare, hand-printed $4,000
book being used as a doorstep?
The bewildering array Of OBJ
jects that went on sale drew
many a chuckle-not at all in
the spirit of irreverence-and
many a sigh from friends and
prospective purchasers.
The collection of the matinee
idol who made an estimated
$1,000,000 on the stage and
screen uncannily reflected the
amazing range of his tastes.
Everything was to be found
from a pair of gruesome shrunk-
en- heads of South American In
dams to rare and antique sta
tuary brought from italy at great
expense.
The pictures on this page give
a rough idea of the things that
Barrymore left behind and all of
them have been sold since these
pictures were taken.
With every one went the story
of how each fantastic piece found
its way into Hollywood's one
man museum, all of them inter
esting.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-27

A choice Barrymore yarn goes
with the shrunken heads, shown
in one photograph. The actor
nearly frightened barber out of
his wits when he lugged one of
these heads into a shop and re-
quested that it be given a hair
trim"
Some of his cherished volumes
saw strange usage-such as the
handmade 500-year-old French
book. worth its weight in gold,
which he used to prop open a
squeaky door.
Another side of the many
faceted Barrymore was revealed
by his imposing collection of re-
ligious statuettes and wood carv-
ings.
Despite the oddly of his COL
lection, Barrymore was a true
connoisseur who appreciated the
artistic things in life.
Before taking to the stage and
adding to the Royal Family saga,
Barrymore made a successful
living as a magazine illustrator
