Even in decline, he continued to harbor quixotic hopes of returning to the stage in a worthy Shakespearean vehicle, despite ravaged powers and recurring memory loss.

 John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor/ index
John Barrymore was such an actor, and his Richard III and Hamlet, first seen in New York during the 1919-20 and 1922-23 seasons, stand as high water marks of twentieth century Shakespearean interpretation.
Many conventions of modern practice can be traced to Barrymore's performances: he was the first actor to bring the vocal and physical manner of a postwar gentleman to Shakespeare's tragic protagonists and was the first to reinterpret time-honored roles in light of Freudian psychology.
the book of the same title, is devoted to Barrymore's Shakespearean portrayals, his illustrious theatrical family, and his predecessors and successors from the time of Edwin Booth and Henry Irving to the age of Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud.
