FAMOUS ACTOR
STILL QUIET ON
MARRIAGE STATUS
by United Press Leased Wire

HOLLYWOOD, nov. 23.-J0hn
Barrymore, famous screen and stage
lover, apparently intends to keep
on guessing about his matrimonial
affairs.
Despite insistcnt demands of the
press and other interested parties,
he declined today to add anything
to the brief statement he made
Tuesday when he filed intention to
marry Dolores Costello, film actress.
Informed that a mystery woman
had telephoncd opposition to mar
riagc license being issued to him
tomorrow, Barrymore had "nothing
to say
Asked where and when Mrs.
Blanche Oelrichs Barrymore, better
known as Michael Strange, had di-
voreed him, the star had "nothing
to say
He had "nothing to say to
printed reports that Maurice Cos
tello, father of Dolores, thought
Barrymore ought TO clear up this
NATTER and he gave the same an
swcr to a question as to the prob
able date of his marriage to Miss
Costello.
Miss Costello, following in
Barrymore footsteps likewise of
fered no comment on the situation.
Barrymore appeared at the mar
riage license bureau Tuesday and
filed his intention notice. Under the
state law the license will be issued
tomorrow unless written objection
is made.
Three calls, from woman, have
been received by Rosamond Rice,
bureau clerk, advising against the
issue of the license on the ground
that Barrymore has not been divor-
ccd from Miss Strange.
The objcctor has been told that
unless a written complaint is pre-
Sented the bureau has no alternative
but TO issue the license.
just after Barrymore filed his in
tent, his press agent gave out a
brief statement which carried the
vague information that "thc for,
mer Mrs. Barrymore is travelling in
Europe and has received a divorce
from Mr.. Barrymore.
Barrymore has had nothing to say
since that time.
1t is known that Maurice Cos.
tello, once one of the best known
matinee idols, at one time was OPP
posed to his daughter receiving
Barrymore attentions.
Costello indicated he would not
make any attempt to interfere with
the proposed marriage.
