NEW! WEIRD! Shorts and unused clips of Barrymores from British Pathe

British Pathe online, my friends! Y'all should give it a look for many, many items, but here's some Barrymore specific ones!

Carl Carlisle impersonates famous people, including Lionel Barrymore, in 1943.

There's also a silent clip of Ethel Barrymore's funeral in 1959:

A 1939 news report of kids finger painting--checl out the close up of Eleanor Roosevelt and (possibly Lionel!) John Barrymore, according to the narrator. Since Eleanor Roosevelt may not have been fond of Lionel, it's probably Jack... Jack was better known probably too:

Bonus footage of the 1947 Oscars! Check out all the peoples, including Mr. B. Harold Russell received his award for The Best Years of Our Lives. Lionel Barrymore presents an award on stage to Anne Baxter (about 37 seconds in--Mr. B looks VERY snazzy!):

Ethel Barrymore Colt was filmed rehearsing for her stage debut in "Scandals", 1932. She speaks of uncle John's early musical comedy on stage:
