'Keep Back your Pity': The Wounded Barrymore of The Sea Beast (1926) and Moby Dick (1930) (pp. 59-70)
A performer noted for his striking beauty, John Barrymore was nevertheless familiar with contorting his appearance to attract equally the dreadful fascination of his viewers, having done so most remarkably playing the lead in John S. Robertson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920). A similar transformation also characterizes his starring roles in dual adaptations of Moby Dick: the silent production The Sea Beast (1926) and its sound remake Moby Dick (1930).
