BEAU BRUMMEL (1924) 159 This still from The Dressmaker from Paris is notable in that it shows an actress who had a great many fans in 1924 and another who had many fans ten years later. Leatrice Joy is on the left; on the right, Sally Rand. BELOW By the middle twenties, Justice, The Living Corpse, The Jest, Richard III, Hamlet, and other plays had definitely established John Barrymore not only as one of the great actors of his day, but also as one of the great box-office attractions. Hollywood naturally grabbed him. Here he is (staring at his nails) in Beau Brummel, made by Warner Brothers in 1924.
