John Barrymore, screen Lothario,
let it be known today that romance
never existed between him and
Elaine Barrie, the young radio art-
ist whose pursuit of the film star
became a cross country game of
hide-and-seek.
"All this stuff that has been
printed about Miss Barrie and my-
self is a lot of hooey,” declared Bar-
rymore after emerging from several
hours of seclusion at a hotel here
last night.
He was asked about the much dis-
cussed eight-carat diamond ring he
was reported to have given the girl,
and which he is alleged to have
taken back with him back to Hol-
lywood.
"When I give anything, I give it
tor keeps," he said. "I've given away
a lot of diamonds. It's a wonder
she didn't get two. The diamond
might as well have been a Topaz
tor slgnificance."
He characterized his feeling for
the 20-year-old New York girl as
"admiration and respect” and de-
clared he didn't know the girl was
seeking him in Kansas Citv last
Saturday.
