TILDEN WILL NOT GIVE UP WRITING
(By Davis J. Walsh)
Dynamic Film Star Comes to United Theatre in 'White Tiger'
PRISCILLA DEAN IN WHITE TIGER' A UNIVERSAL-JEWEL
One of the season's most dramatic screen offering comes to the United theatre tonight. It is "White Tiger," a Universal-Jewel photoplay of international crookdoon, starring the vibrant, fiery Priscilla Dean.
"White Tiger" is the symbolic title of the heroine of the story, who is the one feminine member of a trio of international crooks who leave the "small fly" field of London's cheaper sections for the million dollar field of American society. They expect in America to wrest fortunes from the necks of society matrons and steal the heirlooms hidden in family safes.
The other two members of the trie are impersonated by Wallace Beery and Raymond Griffith, two of the screen's most artistic players of "heavy" roles. Beery's latest successes were in "The Flame of Life" and "Robin Hood."
The straight leading role opposite Mice Dean is entrusted to Matt Moore, who in this reverses his character in "The Storm," one of the past season's biggest successes, in which he played a role of "villainy" with consummate artistry.
"White Tiger" was written and previous Dean success of unusual dramatic force. He is Ted Brownling, one who ranks among the really "big league" directors.
Police authorities have said that "White Tiger" presents a croak character accurately and truthfully analyzed for the first time in the history of fiction or screen. It has been the custom among writers and directors to hold to the belief that made them hold together in the face of discovery. That this is not the truth in the majority of cases has been the contention of experts in crime detection. In "White Tiger" the trio of criminals are portrayed truthfully with all their wrangling, treachery and petty jealousies. The utter lack of any real friendship among them is clearly shown, and that is why "White Tiger" has been heralded at previews as a screen story that paints the underworld in its true colors.

TILDEN WILL NOT GIVE UP WRITING
(By Davis J. Walsh)
NEW YORK, Feb. 1—William T. Tilden, II, and the U. S. Lawn Tennis Ass'n., will take up the most question of when does tennis player cease to be a writer if ever, at the annual meeting of the organization tomorrow afternoon noon.
It promises to be one of the big moments of lawn tennis. Politics and blackjack will be checked outside with the hats. Out at the melee will come the intelligence as to whether Tilden will continue to represent America as the greatest player the sport has known, or drop out of the amateur competition by request.
The meeting will be asked to decide the issue by vote. It will have placed before it the recommendation of the executive committee that after Jan. 1 next, ranking players allowed to write tennis articles "for peculiary gain' under pain of losing him amateur status.
The measure was and is directed at Tilden, Vincent Richard and other stars, and in the case of Tilden, will most certainly suit in his permanent retirement if passed.
"I will not give up my writing no matter what happens," he told the writer recently. "If a female men at the head of the tennis association wish to legislate me out of the game, let them do so, will not be dictated to when know that I have done no wrong and am an amateur heart soul. My decision on this point is final."
In brief, the question of power has come to a showdown, and according to some accounts, Tilden held the cards. The measures need only a majority vote for passage, but it is said that a quite discreet canvass of the association has revealed a majority for Tilden.
The New York delegation solidly behind the executive committee and is trying to swing New England in line with reasonable chances of success. Philadelphia and the middle Atlantic district general have gone on record favoring Tilden. Victory will be gained or lost, therefore in the west and south and the section are said to be for Tilden.

"Why, did you tell us you got the cash when your son really got it? he was asked."
"Well, that was the same thing," he replied.
"But you didn't cash your check?" Lenroot preseed.
"Well, it was my son's check and I thot that was the same thing." Lenroot replied.
"Well, this committee will think they are two different things," Lenroot said sharply.
Senator Adams, Democrat of Colorado, asked Doheny whether he ever said he "banned $1,000,000 to officials and Fall was the only man who had never doublecrossed you."
"No, I never said that at any time nor anything like it," Doheny said.
"Is it customary for you and Mrs. Doheny to tear notes in two?" asked Senator Dill, Democrat, Washington.
"No that's the only time."
"Is there any way in which you could have protected Fall?" asked Senator Fittman, Nevada.
"It might have been done in several different ways but this is the way I decided upon."
"Did you have the note in your pocketbook when you were here before?" asked Adams.
"Yes", Doheny answered.
"I tried to find the missing part but I couldn't." Doheny added.
The committee examined the routlined note in significant silence. Doheny nervously fingered his mustache.
"The other fragment consists of the signature of Mr. Fall?" asked Walsh.
"Yes slr."
"That was the only signature on the note, wasn't it."
"Yes slr."

PRES. COOLIDGE ISSUES STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—With an hour after Edward L. Doheny had testified today that he had employed Thomas W. Gregory, one of the special counsel appointed by President Coolidge to prosecute the oil leasing cases, the White House issued a formal statement indicating that the appointment of Gregory would be withdrawn.
The statement said:
"Mr. Gregory is on his way here at the invitation of the President for the purpose of conferring with the President in regard to employment in the oil leases, representing the government, as previously stated to the public.
"In view of the statement of Mr. Doheny that Mr. Gregory had been his attorney, that employment might be an embarrassment to Mr. Gregory, and perhaps otherwise would be improper."
Gregory is scheduled to reach Washington at 1 o'clock tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—Amid arrival of rapidly moving developments, the Teapot Dome scandal carried to the door of both sides of congress today.
While the senate re-engaged in unconscious debate on the resolution to oust Secretary of the Navy John Denby from the cabinet, House prepared for action on Denby's resolution, passed unanimously by the senate, declaring cases to be illegal.
The senate public lands committee not to delve further into private financial transactions of L. Doheny, lessee of Elk, in an effort to determine whether he had ever loaned or money to any government offices other than Fall, and the naval affairs committee call Admiral J. L. Latimer, judge general of the navy, who had Denby himself "initiated" transfer of the oil reserve from the navy to the interdepartment.
The White House, meanwhile, moved forward with arrangements to recover the reserves.
John Gregory, one of the final counsel named by President Coolidge, was due in Washington.
One of the most notable casts that has ever graced a motion picture will be seen at the California tonight, when "Potash and Perlmutter," a First National picture produced by Samuel Goldwyn, will be shown. It is conceded to be one of the most important assemblages of dramatic personalities ever gathered for a film production.
Not content with securing most of the favored members of the original stage production, headed by Alexander Carr and Barney Bernard, the co-stars, Mr. Goldwyn signed up Vera Gordon and Lee Kohlmar, two celebrities, in addition.
Carr and Bernard play their original parts, as Mawruss Perlmutter today to join Stias H. Strawn.
At the cabinet meeting today, the whole lease question again was up for consideration. An addition to Denhy, who under surveillance of department of justice operatives, the renote committee in secret session heard the report of three nerve specialists who were sent to Fall's bedside to determine whether he is physically able to come to the capitol to testify.
Despite indications that the senators moved today to make the language of the proposal less severe.
Secretary Denby remained adamant today in his decision not to quit "under fire."
In response to questions whether he would leave the cabinet if the resolution passed, he replied heatedly:
"I am not going to resign."
A conference between President Coolidge and Senators Lodge, Republican Mass., and Brandegee, Republican of Conn., at the White House last night, confirmed that administration leaders will support Denby to the last.
William B. Hibbs. Washington stock broker, came before the public lands committee this morning but was not placed on the witness stand. He had been directed to mutter and Abe Potash, and Vera Gordon, who attained instant fame in "Humoresque," is cast as Rouie Potash. This is the first real camera experience of Carr and Bernard, and previous to the shooting of the film Director Clarence Badger experimented with the two stars until they were as at home in the studio as on the stage.
These popular players have in their support Hope Sutherland, a talented recruit from the speaking stage; Martha Mansfield, a featured player for many years; Ben Lyons, who has won his spurs on Broadway, and Adolph Miller, Eduard Durand and Barlowe Borland.
In addition, many professional clothing models will be seen on the screen.
