On Mr. DeMille's request, I went to see the great Barrymore, and reported back truthfully that I found him greasy and smelly (alcohol!) and I preferred to remain with DeMille, which pleased him no end. Dolores Costello in the end played Manon and became Mrs. John Barrymore. Such is fate! I might never have become Mrs. Grieve, although I doubt I ever would have become Mrs. Barrymore.
