About this title: While many biographies on the actor exist, this one focuses on a short period of his career: his stage performances in London and New York beginning in the 1920s. After this he went to Hollywood and turned to film acting. Morrison details Barrymore's performances as Hamlet and Richard III, labeling him the first modern Shakespearean actor.
