| John Barrymore as Richard III |
|
| From Shakespeare's Richard VI Part II |
Maven was lucky enough to come across two clips of John Barrymore, the first is an introduction to the second where he
is Richard III from Shakespeare's Richard VI Part II that was part of The Show of Shows (1929):
What makes the second
clip downright poignant is watching this clip and knowing how deminished his powers were just a few years later, when
Barrymore was as close to being a parody of himself in movies like The Invisible Woman (1942).

MARY ASTOR wrote quite a bit about knowing "The Great
Profile," John Barrymore, in her A Life on Film by Mary Asto; Delacourte Press; 1967, 1968, 1971. . . .
Fascinating:
