He lost all track of them for many years, and then, slowly and surely, they began to drift into the public eye, and as the time went on they became famous They happened to be Ethel, Lionel and Jack, children of that gay bo- hemian, Maurice Barrymore, and his brilliant wife, Georgia Drew, sister of John Drew, The little boy had grown to be a man, He had always wanted to be an actor, but somehow he just couldn't find the opportunity, He had to go to work when he was thirteen and for years he had heen in all sorts of business~keeping stocks in this wholesale warehonse and acting as shipping clerk in that even managing .& small soap face tory, Finally, he wound up as a writer of advertising copy and made & real success at last; but it wasn't the sort of success he wanted He wanted to do something in the theater.
