It's finally here! The day which Lionel Barrymore for reasons which passeth understanding lied about being his birthday, April 12. Here is, within 2-3 years of his birth in 1878, what he looked like as a wee Barrymorelet:

Approx age 2 or 3, 1880 or so |

While there is not much evidence other than in
We Barrymores that Mr. B ever said his birthday was April 12, it's there so we acknowledge it and start our 2+ weeks of Barrymore Birthdaying today! I hope to have something scintillating each day for you, or at least interesting!
Indeed, his birthday WAS April 28, 1878. Such a reticent man, he wanted to put that in doubt!
