RALPH MULFORD HERE
Famous Racing Driver Tells of New
Engines for Track.

Members of the San Antonio Auto
mobile Trades Association at their
luncheon Tuesday at the Gunter Ho-
tel were addressed by Ralph milford,
famous racing driver. who is here as
the guest of Tom Little manager of
the San Antonio branch of the Bur-
ton-Lary Motors Company.
Mr.. milford described the develop
ment Of the modern automobile mo-
tor and mentioned some of the diff
culties manufacturers have had to
overcome as result of the poor grades
of gasoline.
Speaking of racing cars, Mr.. Null
ford said that they were being
equipped with small engines than in
former years and that it was posi-
Bile to operate them at a much greater
rate of speed.
The used car problem, which has
received the attention of the automo-
bile men for the last several meetings.
again was the subject of considerable
discussion at the Tuesday luncheon.
W.. NJ. Morgan expressed the opin-
ion that the used car problem was
an individual proposition and that it
was useless to attempt to solve it COL
lectively.
Henry III. Bryant said that he had
found the best way to deal with the
problem was not to allow any more
for used cars offered in trade for new
ones than their actual worth. He said
that he had lost several sales as a re-
suit of this policy but that he was
certain the plan would prove success.

Theodore Roberts, @the grand old
man of the movies" will be in San
Antonio Sunday and apear in person
at the Majestic. Mr.. Roberts will ar
rive Sunday morning and is to be met
at the station by a committee which
will include the mayor, commissioners
and business men. They will enter
tain him at breakfast directly after
his arrival.
Mr.. Roberts for years has grimaced
out Of shadowland, and has pantomim-
ed his emotions from the screen, until
he is among the best known of movie
players. In dumb show he has led
moviegoers afar in many an adven-
ture story in strange lands or in the
familiar walks of everyday life. Movie
goers have followed him as the tyran-
nical father, the rollicking westerner,
the sanctimonious crook, the bigoted
elder. the small town leader and the
bearded prophet.
Next Sunday at the Majestic he
will step out of the shadow and do
the "old man of the movies" and show
what the flesh and blood man can do
and has done on the legitimate stage.
As he has thrilled millions of movie
fans so will the old man thrill the
vaudeville audience. He will be seen
in one of the most powerful playlets
witnessed here in years. 1t is a De
Mile sketch particularly suited to
Roberts. AS an old German doctor,
warped with desire for revenge which
he has nurseds for 30 years, Roberts is
shown making Preparations to destroy
his enemy. How he got revenge
through suggestion that his enemy
would die in few minutes provides
most thrilling scene.
