The Awakening Of Helena Richie (film)
''The Awakening of Helena Richie'' is a surviving 1916 silent film produced by B. A. Rolfe and distributed by Metro Pictures. It is based on the 1906 novel, ''The Awakening of Helena Richie'', by Margaret Deland and the 1909 Broadway play based on the novel starring Margaret Anglin and then child actor Raymond Hackett. This silent film version brings Ethel Barrymore to the Helena Richie role (as Anglin refused to do films) and Barrymore's surname meant better business in the movie world. This film still survives incomplete in the Library of Congress and was reputed to be Barrymore's favorite of her silent film work. Actor Robert Cummings also played his same part in the 1909 Broadway play. Cast *Ethel Barrymore - Helena Richie *Robert Cummings - Lloyd Pryor * Frank Montgomery - Benjamin Wright *James A.

Ethel Barrymore On Stage, Screen And Radio
Ethel Barrymore (born Ethel Mae Blythe; 1879–1959) was an American actress of stage, screen and radio. She came from a family of actors; she was the middle child of Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, and had two brothers, Lionel and John. Reluctant to pursue her parents' career, the loss of financial support following the death of Louisa Lane Drew, caused Barrymore to give up her dream of becoming a concert pianist and instead earn a living on the stage. Barrymore's first Broadway role, alongside her uncle John Drew, Jr., was in '' The Imprudent Young Couple'' (1895). She soon found success, particularly after an invitation from William Gillette to appear on stage in his 1897 London production of ''Secret Service''. Barrymore was soon popular with English society, and she had a number of romantic suitors, including Laurence Irving, the dramatist. His father, Henry Irving, cast her in ''The Bells'' (1897) and ''Peter the Great'' (1898). On her return to America in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
