ten O'Clock there was still long line,
crowds were in the lobby.
AS Miss Farrar is not to sing here I'M
til late in the opera season. this is the
only place where the public may see her
for some time. and those who have seen
her startling impersonations of Carmen
at the Metropolitan have still another
surprise in store for them. Never before
has she acted with such unbridled free
dom. A fight which would pass readily
for real street brawl and some love
scenes that are more fervid than most
stage affairs are in the scenes.
The story of Carmen has been
changed slightly Just enough to interest
those who have tired of the original and
just enough to permit of~some striking
smuggling scenes. bull fight and a real

Miss Farrar always was good pam

lures of her work always were apparent.

screen, and some OF her striking person

In addition to this big feature other
