Forthcoming today from the camp of
John Barrymore anent details of his
divorce from his second wife, the
former Blanche Oelrich, and his i'm.
pending marriage with Dolores Co.'S
teIlo, screen actress.
The affair today has assumed
theatrical flavor. what with a "niys-
terry woman" appearing at the Court

ton to wed record and then tele-
phoning officials that they had bet
status before issuing him a marriage
license"
Finn Folks AgOg
Meanwhile, as far as it could be
ascertained, the wedding plans of
Barrymore and Miss Costello have
not been disturbed. although the film
colony is agog over, the latest de-
velopments.
Shortly after the actor had filed
notice of his intention OF wedding,
Warner Brothers Studios, where
Barrymore is completing a picture,
issued a statement which asserted
the actor had been divorced. No de-
tails were given.
In the face of so much reticence,
the film colony today was recalling
the fishing" trip Barrymore made
TO Mexico several months ago. He
stayed there for some time, it was
pointed out that Mexican divorces
are easy and quick to obtain.
While Barrymore is being guarded
by Studio attaches, officials and
bodyguards. the picture in which he
is appearing is being rushed to com
pletion.
And while all this activity is In
progress, Barrymore's yacht is lying
in Los Angeles Harbor, ready, IL the
actor so chooses, for the scene of q
