Saw Farrar Will STAY.

In spite of the many positive state
ments that Geraldine Farrar will not
be a member of the Metropolitan
Opera company next season and the
even more positive statement that
she has signed contract with Mr..
season. it is now reported by per-
sons who should know what they are
talking about, that she surely will
be at the Metropolitan next winter
and that instead Of cut in salary
she will receive a decided increase.
NJ. Gatti-CasazZa and Miss Farrar
herself refuse to make any state
ment in regard to the matter; but
Gatti is a pretty wise man and ii
seems quite unlikely that he would
kill the goose who laid the golden
egg. 1t is a very certain fact that
the two ver-failing drawing cards
of the Metropolitan are Farrar and
Caruso. When they sing the opera
does not matter at all, their names
are enough to pack the house when
ever they are mentioned in the pro-

rather generally understood that Miss
Farrar's contract has another year
to run and if that is the case, there
cannot be any question of a reduct-
ion this season.
