The New Rochelle Pioneer, June 3, 1916, announced that Jay C. Yorke was among nearly two dozen important players, directors, and cameramen whose employment was terminated by the studio on May 27, 1916, as part of an economy move. An account in the New Rochelle Evening Standard, May 29, 1916, stated that he was a director at the time.
