part to which Miss Barrie had as. signed him in their real life drama, had so often proclaimed and which Miss Barrie, as Ariel, the part she had assigned herself, sadly con- firmed. They had settled their quarrel corcerning the ring through the good ofiices of attorneys. They had some condescending remarks concerning each other. It seemed quite final.
 Parents With Her
 But Saturday Miss Barrie, accom- panied by her parents, took passage in @ transcontinental plane at New. ark, N. J. They would say nothing but 1t was quite apparent that the romance was operative again. The plane landed in Hollywood last night. Barrymore was waiting with his friends. In Q very short time all were in another plane bound for Yuma and matrimony.
 Barrymore was supposed to have been in the Culver City sanitarium where he has been confined for weeks because of Q heart ailment. He appeared at the airport wear ing tennis shoes, e heavy overcoat adorned with pearl buttons, his graying hair free in the wind. Two weeks ago the divorce obtained by his third wife, Dolores Costello, at the time his romance with his Ariel was at full bloom, became op. crattve.
 Surprise To Both
 "This is more or less surprise to both of us," said the bride as she and her Caliban waited ct the local station for Q train back to Hollywood. Barrymore cared to say very little more. "Ever since I saw Elaine I wanted to marry her but how could when she was in New York and ! was In Hollywood?" Barrymore asked. Certainly I'm happy; I'm happy because it's all over now and wer're married. Two weeks ago telephoned her across the continent" he said. We set the date then" The brother of Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, member Of "the royal family" of the American theater, appeared strong and heal thy, recovered entirely from his re. cent illness.
 Met Two Years Ago
 Two years ago Barrymore was III in Q New York hospital. Convales- cling, he had time and the inclina- ton to devote himself to his fan mail. One letter was from c 10- year-old co-ed of Hunter college who thought him not only rnarvel- ous but Q genius. Warmed, Barry more invited her to call. The vivac. ious, dark-eyed swaine appeared, radiant with excitement, her arms loaded with flowers. She said she had ambitions to be Q great actress. Barrymore said she had talent. She dropped Jacobs and adopted Barrie. in compliment to her mentor. as her stage name.
 The actor was by no means q Mustered bridegroom as he and Miss Barrie stood before Justice Free man.
 John Barrymore, do you promise to protect and cherish this woman" the judge asked.
 "Yes," boomed Barrymore in his deepest stage voice.
 "And do you promise to love, hon- or and cherish this man, he asked Miss Barrie.
 "Yes," she said, her face radiant.
 "Then, by the rights vested in me by the state of Arizona, declare you man and wife," Judge Freeman intoned.
 The judge appeared as pleased as the couple he married for 1t prob- ably is the last famous marriage Of his career. With more than l6,000 weddings to his credit, Judge Free man retires next week, having de- cl!ned to campaign for his justice post again after more than Q decade in ofiice.
 Mrs. Jacobs, who had been near her daughter throughout the court ship, had tears in her eyes as the ceremony ended. Her husband pat ted her arm and then shook hands with his son-in-law.
 Introduced As Protege
 Barrymore left the hospital and he introduced her to his public as his protege. They appeared in radio drama together. Chaperoned by Mrs. Jacobs, they went to Ha- vana on the yacht. Returning, Bar rymore gave her ring. Meanwhile Miss Costello, in Los Angeles, was applying for Q divorce and custody of their two children, charging he was ill-tempered and drank to ex. cess. The course of true love wal not smooth. One evening, in the Jacobs living room, Barrymore snatched up his ring and left. Mis- Barrie, through the public press, de- manded the ring back. Barrymore left for Los Angeles. Frantic, ap' parently broken-hearted. Miss Bar rie followed on the next train. Al Chicago she caught him. but hs evaded her in the crowd at the Ls Sale street station and caught an other train.
