have come TO the conclusion that pro-
duction in the East is hardly inferior
10 that in the West. particularly since
modern studio equipment has improved
the lighting, The opening of the studio
had been set for August until the last
few days.
1t was stated at the Famous Players
I.asky headquarters that work In the
West would never be abandoned entirely.
The company's production schedule
based on its distributing contracts, calls
for 100 pictures in the next year. and
even with the Long Island studio work
ing to it's full capacity OF ten companies,
not more than forty pictures could be
turned out In a year. Moreover, the
Hollywood 'lot" OF Famous Players
Lasky have just completed in the last
three weeks the largest covered stage
in California, which could not be given
ND without big loss.
While the Realart studio, affiliated with
the Famous organization and now called
the Wiltshire, may be relinquished, the
Lasky studio, with capacity for four
teen companies. will be retained. John
S. Robertson and George Fitzmaurlce,
two American trained directors who are
to return to this country in few weeks
after their current pictures at the Lon-
don studio of the Famous Players-Lasky
company are completed and the American
invasion of the British field is given up,
were expected to go to the Realart studio
in California. However. they prefer work
in the East, where their theatrical AZ

United States, is going soon to shift
some, but not all. its producing activi-
ties from Los Angeles 10 Long Island
City. Definite assurance TO this effect
came yesterday from an inside source.
1t was learned that directions had been
given TO have the big studio on Long
Island ready TO open for use on April !,
and that Victor III. Clarke, now on the
Pacific coast. had been assigned Ea st
as production manager at the plant
AS soon as Clarke arrives here active
preparations will commence for the re-
opening of the studio. which has been to-
tally unoccupied for four months, and
which ceased actual production half a

start from this city for Hollywood. where
he will confer with Jesse l.. Lasky. first
vice-president in charge of production.

film making.
One Of the factors which influenced
this decision, ii was learned. came from
developments during the last week in
Los Angeles, with the murder of Will
lam ID. Taylor coming close on the
heels of the Arbuckle case. Another
important element was the conviction
that more use should be made of the

TAYLOR'S BROTHER
KNOWN AS GOLFER
Belonged to Yonkers Club Up
to Time of Strange Dis
appearance.
REPORTED IN CANADA
Present Identity and Where
abouts Now Matter of
Keen Interest.
REPORTED IN CANADA

The question OF the present identity
and whereabouts OF Dennis Deane-
Tanner. younger brother of the slain
motion picture director william Des-
mond Taylor, daily becomes or more
interest to friends of the two brothers
and also, it is reported, to the authori-
ties investigating the killing. That
they are two separate and distinct per-
sons has been definitely established by
business and social acquaintances in this
city.
Dropping out OF his business and his
home life here in August, 1912. Dennis
Deane-Tanner TO all knowledge has
dropped completely off the earth. His
older brother left traces which establish
clearly his whereabouts between his
disappearance and the time of his join
ing the film colony as William Desmond
Taylor.
Investigation yesterday developed that
the Deane-Tanner listed as member of
the Dunwoodie Golf Club of Yonkers,
was the younger brother and the MEM
bership roster of 1911 shows the name
of d. G. Tanner. and the address, IL
East Forty-fifth street, the address of
A. S. Vernay G. Co., where Dennis worked
as manager OF the antique shop.
Although member OF the cub little

many friends and was a regular week
end golfer and also attended the Satur-
day night dances. accompanied by his
wife,
Several members of the club who had
known Dennis Deane-Tanner and had
played golf with him said he was a
quiet, rather neutral sort of chap, played
q fair game, attended the social func-
tions, occasionally played stiff game
in the nineteenth hole" and was a
good fellow in general.
While William Deane-Tanner was
reticent and talked little about himself
it developed that Dennis often spoke OF
his experiences during the Boer War,
through which he served. Several friends
had visited his home at 247 West 10Ath
street, where he and his wife and two
daughters lived.
One Of the associates Of Dennis Deane-
Tsnner. who had called at his home on
several occasions, said yesterday that
for nearly q month before his disappear
ance Dennis acted as though something
preysd on his mind. He sat by himself
for hours at the club.
A few months after his disappearance
one of the stewards OF the club on a
visit in Canada wrote he had seen and
spoken to Tanner In Toronto.

HOARDINC REVEALED,
THEN PRICES FELL
Reserue Board Officer Says
Public Brought Change.

ATLANTIC CITY. Feb. THE general
decline that followed the high prices of
1871; and 1920 was caused in part by
cancellation of orders when the public
disS ovcred that necessities were being
boarded. according to George w. Norris.
governor Of the Federal Reserve Bank
OF Philadelphia, who addressed the
Rotary Club here to-day.
THE Federal Reserve System is not
responsible FOR the advance of prices in
1919 and 1920" Mr.. Norris said.
Neither can the blame for the sudden
decline be laid at the reserve banks
door, The rise was caused by the in
dustrics In 1919 and 1920 being engaged
wholly in the manufacture of dcstruct-
i've implements while there was a short
aye of neccssaries.
However. this shortage was not so
acute as supposed. and when the people
found IL to be fact, orders were can
celied and the general decline in prices
began. l do not expect a rapid recovery
OF industrial conditions. but I am con-
fldcnt that they will improve gradually

HARDING'S AIREDALE

Laddie Boy Writes to Stage
Dog Of White House
Conquests.

BosroN, Feb. IA dogs view Of life
in the White House is given in a letter
ostensbly written by Laddie Boy, Presi-
dent TIarding's -Airedale, to Tiger, q
stage dog. which will appear in the cur
rent issue OF the National Magazine, to
be published tomorrow. The President
sent the letter, which was in reply to one
from Tiger, to Joe Mitchell Chapple,
editor of the magazine.
"Ladde Boy has made reply" Presi-
you a copy herewith for your informa-
tion, since you were the bearer OF Tigers
message"
Every dog plays his part we'll when
he is merely his natural self, but un-
happily many n dog is more or less
spoiled by his environment and associa-
tions," said Laddie Boy. 81 ina gine
am spoiled some myself. So many eX-
press q wish to see me and / shake
hands with so many callers at the En-
ecutive Mansion that | fear there are
some who will suspect me of political
ir rclinations-from what 1 see of politi-
tics I am sure j have no such aspira-
t,ons.
vi course 1t is exceedingly lulcTtSt
ing and worth while to be in the center
OF so many aetivities of great inpor-
tance, hut there is an air of earnest
ness and responsibility obout it which
can see in my Chief that / often long
for the good old days back home.
Sometimes the Chief acts as though
he would like to sit down when he and
i can be alone and / can look at him
with sympathetic eyes and he fixes his
gaze on me in a grateful sort of way as
much as to say: Well, Laddie Boy, you
and are real friends and we win never
cheat each other
When | came to the White House the
Mistress gave me rather cold shoulder.
l found out afterward it was because
she did 9ot want to become attached TO
me and excessively grieved in case our
association had to be severed. Since
then she has fallen for me to beat the
band. She lets me come to the private
dining room now and then, and ] can
coax morsels from the table a whole lot
more effectively than a lot Of office seek
ers can appeal for jobs. But I mustn't
talk about these things for fear I will
be giving away some of the White House
secrets"
The letter says there is no cat to
play with at the White House, and
adds:
II do not think am sorry thereat
There isn't much fun in pursuing and
making war on some other quadruped.
