December 1930 51 Barrymore Barbecue No, we don't mean roasting a ham — just a preview of the romantic, laughing comedy based on the Barrymore legend of "The Royal Family." Ina Claire, Mary Brian, Frederic March and Henrietta Crosman play the four. (That's all there are, there aren't any more.) When the prodigal son returns to the Royal Family a big scene is had by all. Julie (below) tries to persuade herself that a good match won't kill the divine spark. The actress-mother (Ina Claire) pleads with her daughter (Mary Brian) to choose the royal road to romance instead of the rough road to fame. Julie tries to act for the best — which her muuagcr says is Broadway, and in her heart, Julie thinks it the best for Broadway, too.
