Beau Brummel

If nowhere else this alone would have cemented the John Barrymore profile in the eyes of his audience, the opening to Warner Brothers' Beau Brummel, 1924, also introducing Lord Alvanley (William Humphreys) and his unwilling bride (Mary Astor).

John Barrymore (title character), now out of favor with the Prince Of Wales, plans to cultivate the Duchess of York instead, only to get a surprise warning from loyal Lady Alvanley (Mary Astor), whom he has secretly loved all along, in Warner Brothers' Beau Brummel, 1924.

In Regency London, caught with Lady Stanhope (Carmel Myers), for whom he cares not too much, John Barrymore (title character) remains composed when her husband (Richard Tucker) demands satisfaction, in Beau Brummel, 1924, also starring Mary Astor.

John Barrymore (title character) is ingratiating himself with the Prince Of Wales (Willard Louis), the future George IV, who is busy fooling around with an innkeepers' wife (Betty Brice), taking the hit when the inkeeper (James A. Marcus) catches on, in Warner Brothers' Beau Brummel, 1924.
