A favorite blog. Here's a taste......
Manhattan debutante turned silent-movie actress Katherine Harris Barrymore (1891-1927). She portrayed Lily Bart in director Albert Capellani's 1918 film of "The House of Mirth."
"If only I could do over my aunt's drawing-room, I know I should be a better woman."
So said Lily Bart, tragic heroine of Edith Wharton's 1905 novel The House of Mirth.
What's not to love? And duly reminded to read The House of Mirth especially since so enjoyed The Age of Innocence.
