frequentcrs of the Metropolitan for Miss Farrars Carmen" is something hat has been looked forward to with great eagerness. Not even Mary Garden has more independent ideas than Miss Farrar and il is certain that her Carmen will be something worth waiting for.
 At the same time the United Booking Office announces that 1t is negotiating with the Metropolitan Opera Company for permission for Miss Farrar to appear in vaudeville for ten weeks at $1,500 per week. It would take quite a spell of ill health to make anyone wish to give up an opportunity to make seventy five thnasand dollars for ten weeks work and while the doctors have advised against her singing Carmen this sea son it remains to be seen if she will take her advice not to sing in Nau- dcville. Outside of CarusO she is the biggest drawing card in grand opera today and it is doubtful if even Caruso would be a bigger att traction in vaudeville than she.
