American stage and screen actor (1882–1942) whose rise to stardom and subsequent decline due to alcoholism became one of the legendary tragedies of Hollywood lore. Fabulous vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 publicity photo of the serious-looking Barrymore in a tweed jacket and tie, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To May Neilson - Most sincerely, John Barrymore.” In fine condition, with a couple small creases and a couple of trivial edge dings. R&R COA.
