NEW GRAND OPERA STAR
Geraldine Farrar, an American Girl
Makes Great Hit IN New York.

New York, Nov. 27.-With Gounod'a
Romeo ct Juliette'' as the premiere,
introducing three singers new to the
stage of America, the grand opera sea-
son opened last night at the Metropoli-
tan opera house. The audience prob
ably was larger and the subscription
sections of the house more brilliant
than ever before.
SignOr Enrico Caruso, the tenor, who
was fined $40 for insulting woman
last week, did not appear. He is to
sing Wednesday night in lie Bo-
heme.''
The feature of this opening night was
the first appearance in grand opera IN
this country of Miss Geraldine Farrar,
the young American soprano and prima
donna of the Royal opera.vhouse in Ber5
lin. Miss Farrar sang Juliette, role
in which she won fame in Berlin and
elsewhere in Europe.
Eight years go Miss Farrar a girl
of t. sang on trial one afternoon in
New York as a novice. Since then she
has developed into one of the most pop
ular of American prima donnas in Eu-
rope and a general Endorsement of that
verdict was given by en- American
audience last night.
Before the first act was over Miss
Farrar had won her house, which
brought her back again and again at
the fall of the curtain. 1t was not until
the end of the balcony scene, however,
that the triumph of the American girl,
returned to her own people, was fully
felt. Pages carried upon the stage
great floral pieces and clusters of roses.
They came until the prima donna and

audience called.
Charles Rousseliere. for several years
one of the tenors of the Paris opera,
sang Romeo in which part he has
been received with much favor by the
critics in his own country. Charles

man, took the part of Mercutio. Both
are new to New York and both to a

Those who reappeared in the cast last
night were Pol PlancOn as F'riar Lau-
renee Gourmet as Capulet, Muehlmann
as the Due de Verone, Miss Josephine
Jacoby as Stephano, the page, an>
Jacques Bars as Tybalt. Miss Neuen-
dorff as Gertrude and Bopue as Grego-
French conductor, held the baton for
the first time in this country.
The two spectators probably most in
terested in last nights Performance at
the Metropolitan opera house were
compelled to take their places among
those standing at the back of the brass
rail as there was no seats to be had
for them. They were Sid Farrar and
his wife, the parents of the young
American prima donna.
When they thought of securing seats
for themselves it was already too late.
Another interested spectator in the
orchestra stalls was Nine. Emma
E1ames, who made her first appearance
before her own countrymen as Juliette
on the stage of the Metropolitan fifteen
years ago. Nobody applauded Miss
Farrar more enthusiastically.
