Happy Birthday once again, Mr. B!

 So what a year, huh? Not as dramatic as quite a few of Lionel Barrymore's life (2 world wars, a pandemic, etc etc), but still special for us now. So to celebrate, I'm throwing back to some of the earliest film publicity sightings of young Lionel, from Biograph, etc. Enjoy!

Not as early, but an adorable article "by" LaMarr on screen lovers.

There are biograph bulletins from several other of his earliest films, including his first confirmed one, The Battle, but they aren't featuring the birthday boy.  See Films of, 1911-12, to check out the screen grabs from The Battle.

In any event, enjoy these little tidbits, then wander over to the Films of and flip through all the years done so  far. I've done research on years yet to be posted, but I'm waiting for a chance to breathe!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. BARRYMORE!
