the motion picture field. For a year
or more Tanner, now known as VIII

with the Balboa Film Company, Long

dictatorship in more important COM
panies in Hollywood. There his ad.
vancement to the forefront of his
profession as a director is a matter
of screen history.
Although the former Mrs. Tanner
