Cinemamontage1, Cool. :-)

I think that top left picture in your first montage is John Barrymore with his third wife Dolores Costello, and their infant son, the future father of Drew Blyth Barrymore.

The reason I think the baby is the son is that the hair is dark, and in some of the other pictures, the other child who is seated on Costello's lap is presumably elder child Dolores Ethel Blyth Barrymore is blonde.

I suppose the little blonde girl could be somebody else, but their elder step-sister Diana Barrymore was quite a bit older (born in 1921), plus she didn't spend much time with the Barrymore side of her family.

Also, in your second montage, that picture of Ethel, John, and Lionel Barrymore with what looks like the same baby in the latter's arms is captioned (albeit oddly reversed), and states that the baby is "little John Blyth Barrymore." It's a bit confusing, because he'd been styled with different names in his life:

*snip*

John Drew Barrymore

Birth Name John Sidney Blythe Barrymore Jr.

My head hurts now from trying to untangle the Barrymore genealogy. >8-0

The picture of Ethel with what is presumably her husband Russell Colt and children is interesting.
