El dieciseis de Lio--Lionel Barrymore from other countries

Tomorrow is the day, folks! Lionel Barrymore's 140th birthday anniversary arrives anon, and I'm glad it's on a Saturday, frankly. Been a crazy kind of month and year.  So I dug up some stuff that is more original to my online friends,some of the many articles and images from non-English language magazines and newspapers, some from Brazil, some Spain, some Argentina, some elsewhere. In a few cases, there were entire novelizations of films, which are really interesting and sometimes the only evidence I've found of storylines in semi-complete form. So here we are! Happy 16th of Lionel!
