BOY MISSING, FOUR RACE HORSES BURN Fire Destroys Jefferson Park Race Track Stables at New Orleans. By the Assoctated Press. NEW ORLEANS, April 4—A boy ‘was missing today and four race horses were dead as a result of a fire that destroyed No. 8 stable of the Jefferson Park race track here last night. Jimmy “Red” Mulligan, an_exercise boy for the Jack Bishop stable, was asleep in the barn when the fire started. No one saw him escape and he could not_be found. ‘The four horses that died in the fire, origin of which was not determined, were cut off by a wall of flame. At- tendants labored valiantly to save them. They rescued 6 of the 10 horses in the stable. Howard Bauer, 16, of Collinsville, Iil., saved two of the horses at the risk of his own life. H. W. James and negro stable boys saved the other four. ‘The suburban location of the Jeffer- son Park and the fact that the barn was in the rear of the track, made ef- forts of volunteer firemen to fight the | blaze virtually futile. The only water available was from small hydrants, to which garden hose was connected. X CLAUDEL WRITES LIBRETTO:. WILL MAKE DEBUT IN BERLIN “Book of Christopher Co- lumbus” Will Be Presented This Month. Music Is by M. Milhaud, Pre- vious Collaborator of Ambassador. BY HELEN FETTER. Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to the United States, libretto for an opera which will be pro- tdl‘xl“d for the first time in a German eater. M. Claudel chose for his subject America’s discoverer, Christopher Co- lumbus. This. famous Genoese, whose native land is still one of the few even nominal monarchies of the earth, made known to the Eastern Hemisphere defi- nitzly that there was land in the West Yet even he, with the vision of a plo- neer, could not foresee that he was herald of 21 eventual American re- publics. As M. Claudel sat in his attractive study in the new French chancery build- ing he talked enthusiastically, unfolding the details of how he came to write his first opera. This scholarly Frenchmau already is known as a poet of distinc- tion as well as a statesman of great has written the M.

I have not heard of the exact date as yet. Yes, I hope to be able to attend that first performance. However, it is possible tha over there in time. M. Claudel spoke warmly of the co- operative work of M. Milhaud. orators on previous works,” said M. Claudel yesterday. “We work together very well. ‘e have been friends and done work w;ether for 15 years. This opera, which I wrote first as a play, en- titled ‘The Book of Christopher Co- lumbus’ I did unusually quickly. I wrote it in 15 days. M. Milhaud wrote the music for it within a period of six months. Chorus Plays Important Part. “In a strict sense this is neither opera nor oratorio. I have tried something new. The chorus plays a most impor- tant part, suggestive a bit, perhaps, of the ancient Greek chorus, but even more similar to the part a choral group chanting has in the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church service. The chorus offers explanations and tells the story. ‘The few characte: 1l subordinate to t I may not be able to get | Al Milhaud and I have been collab-’ her Columbus, have both speak; lngw. have constant musical panimenf n | SUIT FILED T lor 5 “We will really have two stages.

M. Claudel says that the music is not difficult in itself, but the co-ordina- tion of the various novel effects makcs the ;Mutuon generally very compli- cated. The Ambassador stated that the German comg:ny has been in rehearsal for six months. ‘The spera opens with a soldiers and two standard bearers of Aragon and Castile. A youth carries “The Book of Christopher Columbus” reverently, wrapped in silk.
