Caption reads: ”Mr. Barrymore, whose real name is Herbert Blythe, was born in England, took his degree at Cambridge University, and studied for the Indian Civil Service. He gave up the idea of going to India and was called to the bar, but gave up the law for the stage. He played his first engagement in this country at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, and has since gained fame as leading man for Mme. Modjeska, Mrs. Langtry, and others, and also in A. M. Palmer’s company. He is also a notable playwright, having written Nadjesda for Mme. Modjeska, and the libretto for the comic opera The Robber of the Rhine. He married, in 1877, Georgie Drew, daughter of Mrs. John Drew, but she died in July, 1893, at Santa Barbara, Cal.”
