But such is not the view of Theo-
dore Roberts. veteran character
actor. Roberts has had wide expert
ence in both fields. and is still ap-
pearing IN vaudeville when not busy
in some screen play.
Most Actors Want q Home.
when you act in pictures you can
have a home" said the veteran "of
course some people have an Idea that
actors have no particular craving for
their w hearthstone and foot stool,
but the impression probably orig
mated in the days when most actors
could not afford homes. So It be-
came the custom to suppose that
actors were a bohemian lot, who'd
rather frequent cafes-if not cafe
tertas-than remain quietly beside
their own fresides.
"The conception that an actor, or
an actress. might have the Same do
nestle instincts as some persons en-
gagged in other occupations was not
a popular one. and there are many
who still ind 1t ~curiously difficult to
accept 1t.
"But. Of course. there are actors
who like to have their own homes
just as much as any other class OF
people. and to these the motion pic

than the other for gratifying their
desire.
Take my own case. for example,
although l have no intention of hold
ing myself W as a model. When I
act in vaudeville. I am compelled, OF
necessity. to be on the road. When
l act in pictures 1 can remain quiet

in Hollywood.
A Greater Audience.
ACTORS who play in stage produo-
tons. not on the vaudeville stage
that is, have pretty much the same
experience. even though they appear
in productions that are good enough
to enjoy a long New York run With
the exception Of a rare few they are
ultimately confronted by the necessi-
ty OF going out On the road. unless.
that is. they have the means to en-
able them to remain idle between
appearing in such productions only
during the time they r in New
York.
AS for the enjoyment to DO got
out of the acting. 1 think the screen
affords as great an artistic %opportun-
ity as the other. and, OF course, you
are always playing to a vastly great
er audience.

TO REDUCE SERGEANTS
Wholesale Reduction In Rank Of Non.
CONS Is Ordered.

The last hope of a further post
poncment Of the wholesale reduction
in rank, and consequently in pay. of
non-commissioned officers has passed,
and by March 81 the readjustments
necessary in keeping with regulations
will have been put into effect. This
sweeping reduction results from the
failure Of Congress TO provide for the
retention in grade of the surplus non
commissioned officers Of the army.
Approximately 200 on-commissionel
officers in the Eighth Corps area will
be affected and will be reduced in
grade.
Unlike the wholesale reduction in
ranks of commissioned officers last
year. in the reduction Of the non-coms
the higher grades are most affected.
Only in comparatively few cases are
corporals being denoted, and in these
cases the men are to be given some
special rating, thereby reducing their
pay as little as possible.
Many nOn-commisslOned officers
who for the last few years have been
engaged in office work will be sent
back to field work. In the Eighth
Corps area these men will be given
every opportunity to work themselves
back TO state of efficiency in field
work

TALK ABOUT SOMERSET
DIR. F. l.. Thomson Says Oil Field Is
City's Best Asset.

The Somerset field, eighteen miles
south of San Antonio, should yield Mt
least $3.50 100000 worth of oil in the
next twenty years, DR.. +. l.. Thorn
son, president Of the Grayburg Oil
company, told the Lions Club We'd
nesday at the Gunter. There are
$4,000 acres Of proven territory at
Somerset, Doctor Thomson said.
which, figured on the basis Of 10000
barrels to the acre. will produce 150,-
100000 barrels of oil in the next
twenty years.
The Somerset field. in my opin-
ion. is the biggest asset San Antonio
has. Right now there are excellent
prospects Of deep oil. Biologists have
declared that practically the same for
nations which are found at Mexia
underlie the Somerset field. Several
deep wells should be under way with
in a very short time"
The Grayburg Oil company has
such faith in the possibilities of the
Somerset field. Doctor Thomson said.
that it has made locations for 400
wells TO be drilled in the next six
or eight years. There is no other
field in the world where wells can be
drilled so economically and with such
little difficulty as at Somerset, he de-
clared.
The Grayburg Oil company. Doc
tor Thomson said, was organized in
1918. At that time it owned but six
teen wells. In 1919, nineteen addi-
tional wells were drilled. A year lat
er, the holdings Of the Gulf Produc-
ton company were purchased. AS a
result of an intensive drilling cam
paign in 1922, the number of Gray
burg wells was increased to 225, with
n combined daily production of 400
barrels.
After the oil is collected in tanks
in the Somerset field. Doctor Thorn
son said. it is brought to the Gray
burg refinery in San Antonio through
a four-inch pipe line. Here it is re-
fined in a plant which has n normal
daily capacity of 5000 barrels. The
various petroleum products are dis
tributed locally by fourteen stations
throughout the city.

The understanding of human ma

features of an address by James Cald-
well on "The Man in Salesmanship.'
at the weekly luncheon Of the Sales

Wednesday. Others present then
took up the discussion of the quail
ties necessary TO make good sales

present a good personal appearance
that it was necessary TO be in good

qualities that are essential to make

Site Is Approved.
His report on the progress OF the

be brief for the reason that special

would treat that subject more thor

he was glad to report that the selcc-
ton of the site on Martin street was

had resulted in Mrs. G. Bedell Moore
adding largely TO her donation as Il

expressed his thanks for the work

Mr.. Carter reported that since Au-

the result that the amount paid in by
men in membership dues during the
last twelve months was only $3063 as

that. It has been voted by the d.

of maintaining n trained employe for
