Barrymore, Lionel (1878–1954), American actor, brother of Ethel and John
Barrymore and grandson of Mrs John
Drew, under whom he made his first appearance on the stage. After achieving some success, notably in the title-role of
Barrie's Pantaloon (1905), he went to Paris to study art. Returning to the United States in 1909, he reappeared on the stage in Conan Doyle's
The Fires of Fate, and soon became one of New York's leading actors, being particularly admired in dramatizations of George Du Maurier's Peter
Ibbetson (1917) and Augustus
Thomas's The Copperhead (1918). After an unsuccessful Macbeth (1921) and other failures he left the theatre for films in 1925.
