Happy Birthday, John Barrymore, star of Garson Kanin’s “The Great Man Votes”.
February 14th is the birthday of the Great Profile, actor John Barrymore. Notoriously dissipated, Barrymore had become a caricature of his former brilliant self when he was cast in the very young Garson Kanin’s “The Great Man Votes”. Despite Barrymore’s fading stardom, GK insisted that everyone on the set call his leading man “Mr. Barrymore”—and Barrymore gave the last great performance of his career. Here is the radio adaptation, which aired November, 1940.
