Lionel Barrymore Walks Again
Lionel Barrymore, who said recently he would be able to walk again, took his first steps this week in nearly ten years. And the veteran actor did it the hard way too, by walking up a flight of .eight stairs to board a 45-ton vessel which 20th Century-Fox constructed for “Down to the Sea in Ships.” The only help he had came from holding on to the railing. Barrymore, who has one of the starring roles in the sea picture, said, however, that it will probably be several months before he can do away completely with his wheel chair and crutches. BRITAIN FIRST, SAYS JAPS Twelve Japanese film critics recently conducted a poll to choose the best ten European films of the year. “Brief Encounter” was first, with “Henry V” a close second. “The Overlanders” had seventh place and “The Captive Heart” ninth. FIRST MOUSTACHE Do you know that Robert Taylor wore a moustache for the first time either on or off the screen in “Waterloo Bridge”?
