	1	KOTSILIBAS-DAVIS, JAMES Great Times Good Times - the Odyssey of Maurice Barrymore Garden City Doubleday & Co. 1977 0385049536 / 9780385049535 First Edition Hard Cover Good 538 pages, 16 plates, cloth, dj, ex-library with usual library markings. 1st edition. From the dj: Maurice Barrymore began life as Herbert Blyth, amid the jumbled bazaars and golden temples of East India. Sent to England for proper schooling, he was expelled from Harrow, quit Oxford, became Britain's middle-weight boxing champion, then turned to acting. When his hyper-Victorian family of civil servants, soldiers, and clergymen disowned him, he took the name 'Barrymore' and sailed for America, where he married Georgie, the brilliant daughter of the theatrical Drews. This romantic, tempestuous union bore extraordinary fruit - Lionel, Ethel, and John - and withstood the husband's status as adored matinee idol, frustrated playwright, extravagant collector of animals, and occasional lover to several of the theater's great ladies. He was regarded as one of the wittiest, handsomest men of his time, a 'prince of good fellows' whose revels ended only with the light of dawn. Eventually, eccentricity would turn to madness and he would die tragically. Price: 15.00 USD
