Barrymore Is
Excellent as
; "Richard"
' ;
fJew.York. March 20. We've a new
Apieflcan Shakespearean star. And 4ie
shines as brightly as any that has trod
the boards in' many a long year. He's
a' member of that Illustrious family of
- actors the Barrymores. Is first name
Is John. ,
This particular Barrymore h&a mode
'' stasre history In- a twelve-mqntss that
will stand for many a year. In that
period he haa given ws a wonderful
. impersonation in J'Retribwtion." a thrill
ing impersonation .In "The Jest." and
now a most remarkable 'one in "Richard
Some task for any actor of any
' age and talent certainly a stupendous
one for an actor bo young as bit. Barry
more. The task bespeaks dramatic ge-
nln of thA first order.
Barrymore Is not only great in "this
new creation. He to brave. He has
thrown away all the precedents created
, by a' long line of Shakespearean stars
" that Includes such revered namet as
Garrlck and Afacready and Booth and
Irving and Mansfield. It must neve
taken some courage to break away from
ths lowering, storming, terrifying and
s noisy creations of these great Thespians.
But Barrymore took the leap. For he
gave us a restrained.'' almost quiet and
yet brutal and malevolent picture Of
the scheming English monarch.
Something close to revolutionary was
dona. The play- as presented was not
Shakespeare's "Richard III" but a com
bination of that play and the same
master's Henry VI." The welding- sacri
ficed some of the melortramatic strength
o( the rirst play, but it nirnlshed a more
rounded out character study of the king
who had no compunctions about lopping
off heads so long as they led him to the
throne, . '
Mr. Barrymore has elected to build
his character in consonance: with his
physique. He has not the robust stature
y for bljt, trumpet - voiced,- overpowering
Richard. So he depends orfViis subtly
( toned sardonic humor, cynical jhypocrisy
and malignant cunning. The Intellect
, ual qualities he showed with watchful
, eye, tense pose and crisp enunciation.
His facial play was varied, fitting and
'replete with meaning. In fact one- ae
: cured as vivid a picture of the despicable
v . Richard ' from watching the play of
Barrymore's face as from following the
- words that fell from hia tongue. ...
.!, s j, AH In all, Mr. Barrymore has shown
us K new Shakespearean character. .He
. has won the right to honor for ortg-
H al conception and for logical and la
tell 1 gent rendition "of one of, the moat
difficult parts in dramatic art. -
