Fishy StoryIrked during a performance by a large group of coughing visitors, John Barrymore sent for a fish during the intermission. "Busy yourself with that, you damned walruses," he cried, throwing the fish to his tormentors from the stage, "and let the rest of us proceed with the play!"
[Trivia: In 1926, Barrymore starred in Alan Crosland's Don Juan. Barrymore delivers 191 kisses to a variety of different women, at the rate of one every 53 seconds.]
