Tragedy Revealed in Will of Actor Who Was Exiled by Relatives Hollywood. Cal. () In death Theodore Roberts, "grand old man" of the stage and motion pictures, has lifted the curtain on a tragedy of his We. His will, made publlo here today, reveals that he left his estate val ued at "more than $10,000" to his nephew, Edward Roberts Hlggins of New York City, with the expla nation that he had "suffered like him that exile from borne." "In my experience I remember neither affection nor sympathy from any member of my family until such accomplishment had been achieved by me that affection became a part of pride in relation ship," Mr. Roberta said in the will, which was made here September 11, 12. "During the darkest hour of my life no word of sympathy or offer of help from any member of my family came to me, and I .hungered for It as the wanderer in the des ert thirsts for water. The pride that kept me silent as a neglected and unwanted child stayed with me through life, through many vicissitudes, and kept me silent even while in a prison cell. "Now that I am beyond the In fluence of all earthly things, I want these words said. If they leave any unpleasant atmosphere over my memory, so be IU" Only one member of his family, Hlggins, shared "a kindred isola tion from the family," he said, and it was to Hlggins he left his estate and made him executor without bond. The veteran actor who was burled here Tuesday, with many of the most prominent persons of the mo tion picture Industry paying him re spect, enjoined his nephew to "ap portion my belongings to the dif ferent members of my family, in accordant with his best Judgment." He asked to be buried beside his wife here but made no reference to his former wife except Indirectly. He served six months In Tombs prison in New York when he could not pay alimony to this wife who had divorced him and neither friend nor relative gave him aid. SLEEP BROKEN 35 TIMES IN AVERAGE NITE New York. (IP) You may think that you sleep like a log, but you don't. The fairly typical sleeper awakens, at least to part of his en vironment, about 35 time in the course of an ordinary night and in general men are more restless than women. These facte have been determined by H. M. Johnson, director of an In vestigation at Mellon Institute of Industrial Research University, of Pittsburgh, and are published In the current Harper's Magazine. More than 90 different people have been under observation for several months during the Investigation, and ex perts have recorded more than a quarter of a million periods of rest to determine how much sleep people actually need and to get data about how they sleep. Subjects ranging In age from U days to 03 years, of both sexes, and of widely different stales of health contributed to the experiments. One of the reasons for the investigation was to find out how little sleep is necessary. Plans are under way for a sea plane line connecting South Ameri ca and Germany.
