When the last dance came and the
dancers were drawn in two lines, the

Barbara almost cried out her
establishment and pleasure when she
saw what handsome figure he
made in his new clothing. From
under Hugh's feet the ground for the

much to the eye, at least, do clothes

MABEL NORMAND
CRILLED 3 HOURS
IN MURDER HUNT
District Attorney Says He Be-
lieves She Has Told Every
thing She Knows

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.-Along
what lines the investigation of the
William Desmond Taylor murder
would proceed today was not divulged
by District Attorney Woolwine, but
he said it would be prosecuted vigor-
ously. This followed closely upon a
night session from shortly after 8
o'clock to nearly midnight, with more
than three hours given to the ques-
tioning of Mabel Normand, movie ac.
tress, who was one of the last per-
sons to see Taylorsalive.
Miss Normand, I believe, has told
me everything she knows about the
case, said Woolwine.
After examination of some of the
most prominent figures in the mystery
murder of Taylor, Woolwine Friday
night led his investigators to the
home of the dead man and had the
entire tragedy reenacted as he had
reconstructed it.
Woolwine's actions during the day
were nearly as mysterious as the mur-
der itself. Taking his court report
ers with him, he disappeared in an
automobile and is said to have called
on one of the biggest producers in
Hollywood. He declined to confirm
this report.
Woolwine declared that he would
have no statement to make until he
had completely checked every bit of
evidence in the case, with the visit
to Taylor's home and re-enactment of
the crime as it is supposed to have
been committed. His case is now
said 10 be complete.
His findings are expected to result
in grand jury investigation and on
this development real progress in the
case is believed to depend, for other
sources have met an impasse.
Woolwine admits that Mary Miles
Mlnter has been interrogated.
Miss Minter came to me volun-
tarily and did not hesitate to answer
single question:" he said. Gas for
others questioned, no announcement
will be made now

AS the Psycho-Analysists See
Tie for Taylor and Actresses

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-THE
vicarious daughter relation
ship between those who are not kin
the most mystic Of the emotions
ruled much of the latter life of Will
liam Desmond Taylor, murdered mo-
vie director.
Such, at least, is the Freudian ex-
planation for the remarkable sway
he exercised over many of the mast
beautiful and talented young women
stars of the film world-women who
idoiized the slain director and who
today mourn him almost as a father.
Among the screen actresses VINO
say they have shared this high re-
gard for Taylor are Mabel Normand,
Neva Gerber, once engaged to marry
him, Mary Miles Minter and others
whose photos graced the walls of the
home in which he was shot on the
night of Feb. /,
Toward them, by their singularly
similar acknowledgement, Taylor as
sumed paternal attitude, with here
and there a romantic fringe, more or
less ephemeral.
Emotions Not Analysed.
That some Of the maids who idol
lied this mysterious man of enig-
matte career and striking personality
may not have comprehended their
own emotions is considered likely by
psycho-analyists working with police
detectives in an effort to illuminate
the directors emotional life for what
hint of motive it might reveal.
That Taylor, on the other hand,
had pretty thoroughly analyzed his
own feelings is Indicated by his
definite and absorbing interest in the
Freudian theories.
1t was Freud's latest book, today
so widely discussed, which Taylor
presented to Mabel Normand as his
last gift but half an hour before he
was assassinated and which the two
had been discussing before Miss Nor
mand left his home the night Of the
murder.
Disciples of Freud who profess to
see in Taylor's recent life typical
example of the "father-daughter" re-
lationshir, ascribe its genesis to his
mysterious separation from his
family in New York, when he
changed his name from Tanner to
Taylor.
The birth Of a daughter, Ethel
Daisy Tanner, now nineteen years
old, apparently had profound
effect upon the man who was later
to become one of the most famous
film directors. It was the pent-up
Maternal love which he could not
exDend upon his daughter for which
he found substitute in professional
guidance of young screen stars, and
this accounts for his deep interest IN
many of them, so the psycho-analysts
studying the case would have it.
A number of these young stars
the Freudiansl presume, saw in their
older mentor and confdante the
father image" a common phenome-
non IN the realm Of psychology.
