February just RACED along, and I feel guilty not posting on Jack Barrymore's birthday (birth certificate Feb 14/Feb 15 in family bible). It's been an interestingly freakish year so far with a lot of energy spent unnecessarily. But I digress. I wanted to get something down not only to celebrate Jack's birthday month, but generally update LB-land.
Some great new Jack pics have come along, new to me, online:

In Lionel-land, I'm afraid I've been slacking on my research. I still have hopes to soon go up and answer some more questions in the Ransom Center archives--something that makes me very happy to do! The fun thing is that on the blog, I have reached the 1920s in his filmography and the stuff on him is exponentially vaster than in the 19-teens. Really.
It's exciting!
Some stuff:
 |
| 50 years before my birth! |
 |
| Women Love Diamonds, with Doug Fairbanks Jr., 1927. Doug Jr. was a huge JB fan, and per his autobio asked Lionel if he thought he looked like his brother. Oops. |

 |
| The Voice of Bugle Ann--underrated, excellent film |
Let's hope March dawns more quietly!
