8078 Code SANOR Beau Brummel Warner Bros. Featuring John Barrymore, Mary Astor, Willard Louis, Irene Rich,
Alec. Francis and Carmel Myers. Adapted from the play by Clyde Fitch. The three angles underlying the theme of "Beau Brummel' are the fickleness of fortune, the test of friendship and the instability of popularity. Because of his intimacy with the Prince of Wales, Beau Brummel is able to influence his creditors and make himself the arbiter of English society. Women flock to his rooms in the vain effort to pick up the fragments of a heart hiding its ache behind the fripperies of clothes. At the height of his popularity, his salient wit makes an undiplomatic remark, which precipitates him into a deluge of misfortune. How he rises to heights and then becomes a paupered exile is shown in this photoplay. Barrymore's acting, as the Beau, is the best thing he has ever done for the screen, which is saying a great deal after his memorable effort in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Our subscribers are fortunate in having available such a superlative production featuring this peerless American actor.
