Broadway's Royal Family (Continued from page j^) personal, but Ethel Barrymore was never Lcnsorious. She had returned from a week-end at a magnificent country estate. She told the story of the visit. She told us of the magnificence of the house, the splendor of the furnishings. "But the hostess?" we asked. "She is very charming, but she is one of the kind of women who is always expecting compliments and trying to extract them from (he men. It is tiresome." She added contritely: "But I shouldn't have said that." Even the lodging-house cat, a huge, lumbering beast in a Maltese coat, that had been brought from England, was the object of her scrutiny and interest. I passed her one day on the stairs. She held the beast in her arms and admonished him. "You are more like a dog than a cat. You must remember that you are a cat," he adjured. "We must all remember what we are." Anyone of the horde of admiring girls she accumulated might have studied Ethel Barrymore as a model of tact. Her smile was always ready. If she said little she never said the wrong th'ng. A whirlwind woman caught her up in a storm of enthusiasm. "A girl who crosses herself when she speaks your name has been raised to a seventh heaven. She is transported because while you were awsy she rented your room. I think she said her prayers to your piclure. You remember her of course? She says she knows you. Her name is Carey?" The Barrymore smile and Barrymore graciousn:ss were in ev'dence. Ethel sat en the edge of her bed and smiled and smiled. I, who witnessed the breezy call and the speaker's exit, was sure Miss Barrymore hid known the woman who rented her room and slept in the bed made sacred by her. Not knowing the breadth and .lepth and height of her tact I was unprepared for her calm inquiry: "Who the devO is Carey?" Outwardly serene, the young actress whose future loomed larger and more jrilliant than she knew was a victim of nward nervousness. She played Mme. Trenloni with firmness and authority while )lder members of her company marvelled U her poise. She would hurry home and jrder a cab. "I can't sleep. I must drive and wear cff his nervousness," she would say. Her --usin, Georgia Mendum, who hid begun ;r stage career as maid in "Catherine," nd who abode with her, was her compan'on n the sleep-wooing drives. Or one of her brothers, the big one Lionel, or the boy irck, would climb into the hansom beside i-cr to woo the air that quiets aching erves. In consequence ;he was not visible before noon. She breakfa-ted in bed on fruit nd cohee. Si.e ate an orange and sipped er coffee while readmg her letters. There vas a huge heap of the letters, invitations for the most part, but bills too, fcr she was the self-constituted treasurer of the amily. Lionel was not then launched in is successful career. Jack was a slim, pale, ;andsome boy, an inveterate borrower of quarters. Her father, who had transmitted to her hi;, brilliance and good looks, was slowly dying in a hospital in Long Island. "It's a shame that that girl should bear he heavy expense of Barry's keep at the ■ospital," said a Lamb looking out the window and across the street. "Let's do f^mething f-^r bim oiir=elves, if onlv in memory of his jokes. They were priceless." The offer was repeated to Maurice Barrymore's daughter. "No," was her answer. "Thank you, no." No one had the temerity to urge. "It's like her. She's a thoroughbred," said one of the most famous Lambs. "Don't you remember her cross-continent funeral journey when she was fifteen? She had been in Southern California with her nrother. Georgia Drew Barrymore was dying. She wanted her daughter with her. The boys were in scr.ool. Barry was playing in the East. The girl started back to Pi iladeliliia alone with her mother's body. At every long stop she would get out and go back and stand beside the baggage car. She made the journey aione. When she arrived with the remains ana persons talked to her about the experience stio only said: 'Mme. Modjeska was in California. She was very kind to me.' " Deep inborn reticence is one of her dominant characteristics. No dowager of Mayfair dislikes scenes more than does she. Our landlady of the memorable lodging-house had a peppery temper and a ebel tongue, as Miss Banymore, with all other dv.iicrs beneath her roof, knew. Came the time wnen Miss Barrymore bad prospered sufficiently to justify her in moving to ampler quarters. A servant brought the news: "Miss Barrymore is packing up to go away." The landlady climbed the stairs. She rapped resoundingly on the door. "I hear you are going to move, Miss Barrymore." "Move? Not at all. I'm going to lie right here where I am for a long time," was the smiling answer. That afternoon she arose and dressed and went for a walk. The walk ended at her new domicile. A half hour after her departure a drayman called for the trunk. The landlady, exasperated, climbed to the Barrymore door once more. Three trunks were packed, locked, strapped. On one of them lay a letter. Beside the letter was a box of the long stemmed roses v^'hich, as often happened, the popular young actress had not opened. The landlady opened the envelop>e to find a check for her reckoning and a card bearing the message: "So sorry. But I hate to say Goodbye." Out of this girl of soft speech and conquering smiles gradually evolved a definite woman, yet one in whom the girl's characteristics endured. One sees her at roof restaurants after a play. I saw her at a dance given by Blanche Bates at the Club de Vingt, where she did not sit out a dance. In the garage which Mrs. William Courtenay (Virginia Harned) periodically converts into a ball-room I have seen her sit long at the piano playing for a hundred of the Courtenay's dancing friends. She goes to teas for charity and teas for chat. She and Grace Weiderseim, the artist and creator of fantastic child figures, met and embraced at a Fifth Avenue home. Daniel Frohman escorting M'ss Barrymore said : "I want you two to know each other." "0 LTncle Dan," Miss Barrymore said with her fascinatingly dragging speech, "I know that girl. How I know her! We knew each other in school in Philadelphia umptyum years ago. She hasn't changed a bit except in length of skirts." Mingling is obedience to her creed. "I believe that an actress ought to go everywhere and see everything and know everyone," she informed me. "She portrays life. To portray it she must know it." Ethel Barrymore is quite capable of ad Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAOAZINHC Is guaranteed.
