Sounds interesting.
Always interested in silents with a fantastic theme (and, yes, others too)

Thanks Michael. I've made the book "interactive" by creating a link to Barrymore's 1937 radio broadcast of The Taming of the Shrew. He never performed it on the stage (he plays Petrucio), and Katherine is played by his 4th wife, Elaine Jacobs. Shrew is the only one of his "Streamlined Shakespeare" series that exists in its original length.
