Geraldine Farrar I'm Concert.


Geraldine Farrar. the soprano from the
Metropolitan Grand Opera, will be heard
at the National Theater. Tuesday, No
vember .. at 4.3e. under the management
Of Mrs. wilson-Greene. Few women
have SO stirred the imagination of the
public. Her beauty. her talent. her wit
have made her a singulariy notable fig-
ure even In a generation Jealous In its
glorification of women. With q remark
able career behind her. with the promise
of a still more brilliant career before
her, she bids fair to be the first absolute
iy supreme artist America has produced
Eor Miss Farrar Is wholly, American. by
ancestry, birth. training and inclination.
Perhaps Miss Farrar's greatest tri-
umph came In November. 1914, when she
achieved what had been thought the i'm
possible. She established q new Gar
men In New York. For twenty years.
the memory of that brilliant French
woman. Emma Cslve, had made II Inn
possible for New York to accept any
artist. however great. In the title role of
Bizet's opera In one night all was
changed Farrar was hailed. not as the
successor Of Calve, but as a veritabie
creator of the role. Yet she Is far from
being limited to the most modern types
of opera She Is among the few singers
Of today that can do Justice to the suave
melodies OF Mozart and other masters
Of the classical period.
