In her youth, Ethel Barrymore was strikingly beautiful and graceful. The term “glamour girl,” some say, was coined to describe her. Talented as well as attractive, she began appearing in significant roles on stage before she was twenty and soon earned a reputation as an actress capable of intelligent as well as charming performances. Her first major success, a 1901 appearance in Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines by Clyde Fitch, led to additional lead roles, generally in light and romantic works.
