John Barrymore on stage, screen and radio

 * Nominator(s): SchroCat (talk) 22:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

John Barrymore was an superlative actor whose career ran between 1904 and his death in 1942. Although lauded as one of the finest stage actors of the time, he won only one award, and his career suffered in later years from monumental bouts of drinking. Part of America's "Royal Family" of actors, Barrymore was "perhaps the most influential and idolized actor of his day", according to one biographer. This list has been separated from the main Barrymore article, as it was out of place there and not a full reflection of his work. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 22:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Support – per resolved comments. I'm astounded at how good you have made this in such a short amount of time. Cassianto talk 14:34, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You're too kind! Thanks again for the review, which is excellent, as always, as well as the support: much appreciated! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:29, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 15:57, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks: it's a lot tighter now, following your input and suggestions, and I'm very appreciative. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:54, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Support. Clear, reader-friendly, evidently comprehensive. The second para of the lead is rather a slab of text and could with advantage be split in half. That apart I have no quibbles whatever.  Tim riley  talk    12:07, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated (both for the review and the tweak); I've taken on board the suggestion about the para and split off the film section, which seemed the most logical. Thanks again. - SchroCat (talk) 12:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
