About the Barrymores <br> In many ways, the story of John, Ethel, and Lionel Barrymore is the story of contemporary American theatre. To the public, they represented all that was glamorous in stage and cinema indeed, they were, as critics said, “the Royal Family of American Theatre.” <br> Ethel Barrymore’s career included more than 50 stage performances and scores of films, both silent and sound. One of her more notable screen roles was in the 1932 MGM production of Rasputin and the EMpress; and, in 1944, she won an Academy Award and national acclaim as the heart-warming mother in None But the Lonely Heart. <br> John Barrymore, “The Great Profile,” was one of the outstanding actors of his time. He gave landmark stage performances in Galesworthy’s Justice, Tolstoy’s Redemption, Benelli’s The Jest, and Shakespeare’s Richard III and Hamlet. He also was ideally suited for the movies, and Hollywood loved him. He starred in many a melodrama, and was cast in such roles as master sleuth Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, swashbuckling Don Juan, and the sinister Svengali. <br> Lionel Barrymore first gained fame on the American stage, but then devoted his career almost entirely to films and radio. His many classic movie characterizations included Billy Bones in Treasure Island, the mad monk Rasputin, the salty sea captain in The Barrier, the escaped convict in The Devil Doll, and Dr. Gillespie in the popular Dr. Kildare series On radio each Christmas for many years millions heard his voice as miserly Scrooge. <br> The story of the Barrymores is one of the great successes and tragic declines. During their careers, they collectively earned more than ten million dollars, and yet, they were penniless at the time of their deaths. Through all of their misfortunes, however they remained for years America’s most famous acting family. <br> “We who play, who entertain for a few years, “ Ethel once cried plaintively, “what can we leave that will last?” Memories. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Appetizers <br> COLD <br> BLUE POINT OYSTERS OR CHERRY STONE CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL <br> ICELANDIC HERRING <br> FRUIT COCKTAIL <br> PINEAPPLE AU KIRSCH <br> KING CRABMEAT COCKTAIL <br> JUMBO SHRIMP COCKTAIL <br> FRESH MELON IN SEASON <br> HOT <br> ESCARGOTS BOURGUIGNONNE <br> OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER <br> ARTICHOKES MGM <br> SHRIMPS DE JOHN EN COQUILLE <br> Soup <br> TUREEN <br> BOSTON CLAM CHOWDER <br> LOBSTER BISQUE A L’AR,AGMAC <br> CHILLED CREAMY VICHYSSOISE <br> FRENCH ONION SOUP GRATINEE <br> Salads <br> NOBLE CAESAR (FOR TWO) <br> SPINACH SALAD (FOR TWO) <br> BARRYMORE SALAD <br> HEARTS OF BOSTON LETTUCE <br> SLICED BEEFSTEAK TOMATO <br> HEARTS OF PALM VINAIGRETTE <br> MGM DINNER SALAD <br> The Open Hearth <br> CHATEAUBRIAND BOUQUETIÈRE <br> FOR TWO, SAUCE BEARNAISE <br> The Open Hearth <br> CHATEAUBRIAND BOUQUETIERE FOR TWO, SAUCE BEARNAISE <br> ROAST RACK OF LAMB DIALOTIN (FOR TWO) <br> PEPPER SAUCE, MINT JELLY, BOUQUETIERE <br> BROILED PRIME NEW YORK SIRLOIN STEAK <br> FRENCH MUSHROOMS SAUTE <br> BROILED DOUBLE RIB SPRING LAMB CHOPS <br> MINT JELLY <br> HEART OF PRIME FILET MIGNON <br> FRENCH MUSHROOMS SAUTE <br> ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF AU JUS <br> YORKSHIRE PUDDING <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> From Oceans, Lakes & Rivers <br> MGM MOUNTAIN BROOK BELLE MEUNIERE, WITH CRABMEAT, LEMON AND PARSLEY <br> COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON STEAK BROILED HOTELIERE OR POACHED HOLLANDAISE <br> SAUTEED MONTEREY ABALONE STEAK ALGERIENNE IN BROWN LEMON BUTTER WITH CAPERS <br> WHOLE DOVER SOLE SAUTE HOTELIERE <br> NUTTY BROWN LEMON BUTTER AND HERBS <br> PLUMP LOUISIANA FROG LEGS SAUTE PROVENCALE <br> GOLDEN BROWN, TOMATO CONCASSE <br> TEMPURA FRIED JUMBO SHRIMP ISLAND STYLE <br> WITH SOUTH SEA DUCK SAUCE <br> BAKED STRIPED SEA BASS CALIFORNIA <br> BUTTER, BAY SHRIMPS AND MUSHROOMS <br> THE OLD FAVORITE, SWORD FISH STEAK MGM <br> BAKED TO A GOLDEN BROWN WITH DICED LEMON & CAPERS <br> HANGMAN’S FRY <br> OYSTERS, SCALLOPS, SHRIMPS, SOLE AND SALE <br> ALASKAN KING CRAB A’LA LOUIS <br> IN RARE WHITE WINE AND GLACAGE <br> THE KIND: BROILED STUFFED MAINE LOBSTER DRAWN BUTTER <br> SCHROBSTER EN GLACAGE <br> CRABMEAT, SHRIMPS, LOBSTER, MUSHROOMS, WINE, HOLLANDAISE IN LOBSTER SHELL <br> LOBSTER NEWBURG EN CASSEROLE <br> RICE PILAF AND FLEURONS <br> BROILED ROCK LOBSTER TAILS <br> DRAWN BUTTER <br> ROILED NORTHERN HALIBUT STEAK PORTUGUESE OR GRENOBLOISE <br> Chef’s Delight <br> TOURNEDOS OF BEEF DEGUSTATEUR <br> TWIN FILET MIGNON ON WILD RICE WITH CHANTERELLES , ARTICHOKES AND BEARNAISE <br> ESCALOPE OF MILK FED VEAL OSCAR <br> CRABMEAT, ASPARAGUS, SAUCE BEARNAISE <br> COQ AU VIN CHAMBERTIN <br> DISJOINTED CHICKEN IN RARE FRENCH WINES <br> ASSORTED SEAFOODS ON ICE TWO SAUCES <br> All entrees served with potato and vegetable du jour, coffee, tea or milk <br> Desserts <br> BAKED APPLE CHARLOTTE <br> ASSORTED FRESH FRUIT ON ICE <br> CHEESE CAKE, FRUIT OR PLAIN <br> ASSORTED FRENCH PASTRIES <br> GREEN APPLE PIE WITH BRANDY SAUCE <br> ASSORTED PETITS FOURS (5) <br> FRENCH ICE CREAMS AND SHERETS <br> MEDLEY OF IMPORTED CHEESES AND FRUITS <br> MGM SPECIAL STRAWBERRIES, GRAND MARNIER, CHANTILLY <br> <br> <br> Beverages <br> MGM COFFEE <br> EXPRESSO <br> IRISH COFFEE <br> TEA <br> MILK <br> May we suggest a bottle of your favorite wine with dinner <br>
