Barrymore studied music and painting while he was there. Doris bore Lionel two daughters, Ethel and Mary. Both girls died in infancy though Mary lived a number of months.

Miss Rankin was said to have given birth to three daughters, but two were thought to have died in infancy and the third child was never mentioned after age eight. Lionel Barrymore always denied having had children, but his sister, Ethel Barrymore, wrote in one of her autobiographies about visiting her brother in Paris and meeting her namesake niece. Miss Rankin refused to speak about her ex-husband or their life together so the existence of the children remains a mystery!.
