Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - dir. Lucius Henderson (Thanhouser v: Kino

his career acting in medicine shows and stock & road companies. Film appearances
were principally for Thanhouser who set his career rolling in 1914, with the hugely
popular film The Million Dollar Mystery. There was also a not so successful follow up;
Zudora. After World War I, he had a passion to direct, and from the early to mid 2092s
became one of the top directors under contract to Paramount. The film he is most
known for is Paramount's 1923 The Covered Wagon.

| John Barrymore |
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - dir. John Stuart Robertson (Paramount) lp John Barrymore [63 mins]
At 38 years of age, and in his 12th film, Barrymore, (originally a stage actor) made his mark in
cinema with his portrayal of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A handsome
Dr. Jekyll swallows the fatal potion and (with he assistance of a little camera trickery) transforms
into the hideous Hyde.
Despite many sources stating that Banymore does not use make-up to aid his transformation, it
is apparent that he does. The confusion may have arisen from the first transformation which is
one shot of him making grimacing facial expressions as he changes.
Barrymore's portrayal of Hyde is very spider-like in nature, especially in the way he walks.
This is heightened by a huge phantom spider which crawls onto a sleeping Jekyll and sinks
into his body, causing him to change unwillingly. Nita Naldi plays Jekyll's sultry sexual
temptation and tries to lure him through her spanish style dancing. Jekyll is not amused by her
advances and pushes her off when she attempts to kiss him. Hyde, on the other hand, has other
even less inviting plans for Naldi.
This was one of the more successful versions of the story. John Barrymore became very
popular, despite criticisms made concerning his "theatrical posturing". What is that famous
quote? "You can take an actor out of the theatre, but you can't take
the theatre out of an actor"
In opposition to these criticisms, he was publicly billed as "the world's greatest actor in a
tremendous story of man at his best and worst"

| Frederic March |
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - (Paramount Pictures; v. MGMIUA Video) dir. Rouben
Mamoulian lp Frederic March and Miriam Hopkins as Ivy [earliest sound version 97mins]
This is often regarded as the best version "one of the classic American cinema's true
masterpieces". March's portrayal is very ape-like and this is accentuated by the fact that he
is covered in hair, he also has pointed ears and prominent crooked teeth. This is a radical shift
from the handsome Jekyll we see him play earlier in the picture. Women are much more
prominent in this feature, and Jekyll responds in a positive manner to Ivy's flirtation (as
opposed to Barrymore's disgust in the 1920 version). Jekyll is not ashamed of showing his
obvious sexual attraction to Ivy, but does not pursue her as he is already in love. March's
convincing performance in this won him an Academy Award for best actor.
