Music Expresses Prodigious Fun
of RabeIaiS

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Rabelais has never
been set to music until now. Most
probably NJ Claude Terrasse has made
what seems to be the rather daring
attempt of composing an opera on
Pantagruel. He is the author of two
or three comic operas, in which there
is g, vein of humor that gives some
promise of his being able to express
in music the truculent and prodigious
fun of Rabelais. The work is to be
brought out not in Paris. but at the
Grande Theatre at Lyons, which has
shown enterprise in things musical be-
fore now. The part of Panurge, who
invented many methods of turning a
dishonest penny and who created a

who was a successful Mime in Wag-

acts, and with list of fourteen dram
