Medford United Press Full Leased Wirs Tribune United Press Full Leased Wire Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1 8, 1954 12 Pages Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's Note: This is the second In a series on the colorful life of Lionel Barrymore. Hollywood U.R) A legend happily nourished down the years was that the appearance of Lionel, John and Ethel Bar rymore in a film -turned into a scenery chewing "Bat tle of the Bar rymores." Lionel al ways insisted that any feuds were "feeble- Aline Mosby brained non sense," but still the making of their film; "Rasputin and the Empress," furnished colorful Barrymore stories. The elder Barrymore had re tired from the stage in the early '20s and began a film career, followed eventually by brother Jack. When in 1932 MGM lured Ethel to Hollywood from the stage for a three-Barrymore pic ture, Lionel growled, "What poor unluckv dividual is to direct this opus? Everyone on ihe set expected fireworks, and the spirited Bar- rymores lived up to the chal lenge. One day Jack was trying to scene-steal from Lionel. Fi nally Lionel stomped from the set and telephoned back to the director to instruct John to stop hugging the camera. . The fight scene of "Rasputin" consisted of continual - close-ups of Lionel and Jack, and the legend grew that the scene took so long because each profile was fighting for the limelight. John and Lionel had such reputations for lens larceny that an actor said to Lionel, "You'd steal a scene from your grand mother." Then, remembering she was the actress Mrs. John Drew, he added, "No, by God, I guess you wouldn't." Lionel once admitted to movie scene-stealing. When the broth ers were co-starring in "Night Flight," director Clarence Brown bet John $10 Lionel could not steal a scene in which John was to bawl out the speech less Lionel. John delivered his lines with superb skill. As Lionel turned to shuffle silently away, he reached around and rubbed his behind. John won $10. Before MGM was convinced Lionel could act in talkies, he turned director. While making "Madame X," he hung a micro phone on a fishpole over Ruth Chatterton's head and claimed he invented the mike boom (an honor J boasted by others). His second directorial milestone was making the first screen test of a bit player named Clark Gable who had acted in a Barrymore play. Orchids for Gable "I had him wear nothing but some orchids and a blossom be hind his ear," Lionel recently re called in his autobiography. Ga ble was hired. To Barrymore the two most awesome actresses he met at MGM were Greta Garbo and Margaret O'Brien. Of Miss O'Brien, natural scene-steal-er he once growled, "If she had been born in Salem she would have been burned as a witch," but he meant it as a com pliment. Later he took up eat ing lollipops she brought him, and he bestowed upon her his grandmother's pin, a sentimental heirloom.,; ' Tomorrow: Lionel's personal life and his crippling accident.
