A—16 WIFE TS PEACE WITH BARRYMORE “Too Absurd,” Says Miss Costello, as Actor Speeds to Hollywood. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 20.—John Barrymore, who “doesn't want to be| made fun of any more,” was Holly- wood-bound today, putting miles and miles between himself and the Mid- summer romance that soured. Rumors left behind as he stepped aboard a train last night to the effect | that there might be a reconciliation with Dolores Costello, his wife, were | quickly dispelled by a spokesman for | Miss Costello in Hollywood, who said: “It is all too absurd.” Unaware of Departure. “I wish I'd known in time he was leaving.” said Miss Elaine Barrie, the 19-year-old other principal of the “glamorous episode.” She said she would have gone to the .train to speak to him. Nothing more has been said about the eight-karat diamond engagement ring. which Barrymore took with him when he quarreled with Miss Barrie and walked out of her parents’ apart- ment last week. Parting May Be Final. A statement from her and her at- torney had said the ring was to be returned to her as a symbol of the| Barrymore-Barrie friendship. } Miss Barrie sighed: “I'm afraid not parting is final.” She added that the quarrel was not ebout another woman. | No less than six bodyguards fended off the curious as the actor boarded the train. It was they who announcec “Mr. Barrymore doesn’t want to be made fun of any more.” i SEVEN OAKS MANOR GROUP ELECTS STAFF Henry A.
