.BROXTON VISITED
BY $4,000 FIRE
Guests at Hotel Escape in
Their Night Clothes.

Douglas, Ga, July 4. This
morning at 3 o'clock practically
the entire business section of
Broxton. ten miles from Douglas,
was destroyed by fire which
started in the back of the drug
store of Roddenbery and Clyatt
and quickly spread into the fol-
lowing buildings, the contents of
which were totally destroyed:
Mercantile store of E. L. Bledsoe,
Allen and Co., Broxton Hotel,
Roddenberry and Clvatt. drugs;
w. M. Rainbow, dry goods; Byrd
Drug Co., j. B. Lofts store, bar
Der shop.
The total loss is estimated at
SIS, 900, partially covered by in
surance.
When the fire was discovered
it had gained such Roadway that
it was impossible to check it with
the limited fire protection of the
town. There was no wind blow
ing and adjacent properties
across the streets escaped de-
struction for this reason. A
number of guests in the Broxton
Hotel narrowly escaped getting
out in their night clothes after
short warning.
1t is said the fire was a cuImi-
nation of what is alleged to be
the work of a band of criminals
who have been working in and
around Broxton for some time.
The home of the chief of police
of Broxton was burned Wednes-
day night at a time when he was
investigating a call in the negro
section.

German Actor, II Years Old.
Prepared in u S. for Star Roles
Josef Schildkraut, Engaged by
Max Reinhardt for The
Prodigal Son"
From The Tribune Correspondent

From The Tribune Correspondentl
Berlin. April 3O.-From a raw beginner
in a New York school OF acting to a star
actor at Professor Max Reinhardts
famous Kamnerspief Theatre In Berlin in
a period OF two years Is the rather ex-
traordinary achievement OF Josef Schild-
kraut. the seventeen-year-old son Of Ger
many's greatest character actor, Rodolf
Schildkraut About two and half years
ago the Schildkrauts left Berlin for
America, where the elder was under en-
gagement to appear In his various ~eil
known roles.
At that time young Josef could not
speak one word OF English. He lost no
time. however. In starting to learn. The
week following his arrival in New York
found him attending a public school as a
primary department pupil. sitting among
lads just half his age He also began
Immediately taking private lessons I'm
English, in order to acquire speaking
knowledge OF the language as rapidly
as possible In about three months his
pronunciation was so good and his know
ledge OF the language so perfect that
without any hesitation, he was accepted
as pupil at the Sargent School or
Dramatic Art.
Not many months later he secured his
first professional engagement in "Po-
mander Walk" and later appeared in
New York and elsewhere in America in
various plays. The recent appearance
Of the elder Schldkraut at Reinhardt s
Kammerspiel i'm Berlin, while theatrical
event of Importance itself, was for Schild-
kraut merely return TO the scene of his
former triumphs. With young Josef.
however, his debut in Berlin was, to a
certain extent, a turning point in his
career, since up to this time he had never
PLAYED role in his native language.
Speaking with The Tribune correspond
ent recently, young Schidkraut admitted
that he had returned to Germany from
America with a rather heavy heart, and
with feeling that. 10 a certain extent
he would have TO begin all over again
and in a language other than that in
which he had been accustomed to play.
Naturally, | was proud OF the fact
that. in spite OF my youth and compare

fessor Reinhardt gave me the leading
role in Der Verlorne Sohn CThe Prodi-
gal SOM for my first appearance in Ger

that. Good as the dramatic training Is
that one gets in Germany. | am honest
enough TO say that there were innumer-
able things which I learned during my
stay in America which are not taught
