Title	Ethel Barrymore.
Description	Portrait of actress and director Ethel Barrymore wearing a dark dress, with her dark hair pulled back on either side of her part. Barrymore was born August 15, 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her parents (Maurice Barrymore and Georgiana Drew), siblings (John Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore), and other relatives (such as uncle John Drew) were also famous performers. The family name was adopted by Ethel's father, whose birth name was Herbert Blythe (Ethel was born Ethel Mae Blythe). Ethel made her stage debut in New York in 1895 with her uncle John Drew. She appeared in eight productions at Macauley's Theatre between 1899 and 1922, including "Mid-Channel" in November 1910, likely the occasion at which this portrait was inscribed. Ethel married Russell Griswold Colt in 1909, and had two children, John Drew Colt and Ethel Barrymore Colt, who also acted. She died June 18, 1959 in Beverly Hills, California. The inscription is to Pres. L. Hamilton, Macauley's Theatre's Treasurer beginning in the 1908-1909 season. Inscription on print, upper center: To Pres. L. Hamilton - Ethel Barrymore 1910. Title supplied by cataloger.
