JOHN BARRYMORE TO MAKE A TALKER’ H. M. Warner States He Has Signed Stage Actor to Make a Special Vitaphone Production as a Talking Picture. H. M. Warner, president of Warner Bros., today announced the consummation of what is unquestionably the most important player contract ever negotiated for a talking picture. It provides for the appearance of John Barrymore in his first talking film, which will be made as a special Vitaphone production. Since sound pictures became a reality, the public has eagerly awaited Mr. Barrymore’s plans for a talking vehicle. In accomplishing the contract with the world’s greatest actor Warner Bros, believe that the supremacy of Vitaphone, in its field is again proved.

With keenest competition pre- > vailing among producers to sponsor Mr. Barrymore’s first talking picture, the star chose Warner Bros, because they lead in experience with sound films. Another influencing factor in Warner Bros, victory in securing John Barrymore was his former affiliation with the company during which he made his outstanding successes, “Beau Brummel,” “The Sea Beast,” “Don Juan” and “When a Man Loves.” It is interesting to note that the first public presentation of Vitaphone was in connection with a symphonic accompaniment for “Don Juan” two seasons ago. tt tt tt MORE WOMEN WHO ARE TALKED ABOUT Many people are interested in “Women They Tallr About ’ contest ■which The Times and the Apollo Theater are conducting.

CANADA BARS MOTORS FROM BEAUTY SPOT Refuses to Permit Auto Road Through Glacier Park. Bn Times Special VANCOUVER. B. C., Aug. 17. Canada has, and intends to keep, one national park without automobiles and “hot-dog” stands. The Dominion authorities have resisted all appeals for a motor highway through Glacier Park in the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia. They are building a road twice as long as would otherwise be necessary, and costing about $200,000 more, in order to have overland motor tourists pass around the reservation instead of through it. Hot-dog stands and commercialism of any sort are to be rigidly excluded, Captain E. N. Russell, park superintendent, hopes to preserve it in all its natural undisturbed Wauty. Glacier Park is one of three national parks in the Canadian Northwest, the others being Yoho and Revelstoke. It comprises 460 square miles in the heart of “the country God remembered.” It Is across the British Columbia-Alberta border from Banff and Lake Louise, the Canadian resorts which are said to derive a fourth of their annual patronage from New York. Glacier Park lies in the path of i what would have been the most dii rect transcontinental route from the l prairie Provinces to Vancouver, j But Captain Russell points out
