FAIRFAX "A BIOGRAPHY

Geraldine Farrar was born in Mel rose, Mass, the daughter of Sidney Farrar, the famous ba seball player She was educated in th8 public and high schools of Melrose. The extraor- dinary qtas;ttes of her voice were re- marked when she was only 12 years old, so her parents took her to Mrs J. H. Long of Boston, who was her first fnaitresse de chant
 Not only her musicianly qualities, but very fiery temperament was also very much in evidence. She re- 1ates in her autobiography how she blacked the eyes of two girls who voted against her ip a school election and thrashed a boy who annoyed~her so thoroughly that he had to stay home three days
 Tn 1897 her mother took her to New York. where she studied her first with Lusa Cappiani and subsequently with Emma Thursby. While still a student sheg sang for Jean de Reszke. Nordica, Melba, c. A. Ellis and Maurice Grau. Melba became so enthusiastic over the possibilities of the young Geraldine that she offered to take the gir. under her protection. train her vofee and launch her on the operatic stage sub <ject to a several yearsi contract This off Mrs. Farrar declined, as she did not want Ser daughters activities en- ga red for such a long Soeriod,
 sE 1899 she went abroad and studied under TraBadelfo in Paris. Her debut was made in 1901 under the most ex- traordinary circumstances. as she was permitted to sinf Marguerite in Gou- mods Faust in Italian-the only lan- guage in which she mad learned the role at that time-instead of the lan- guage of the country,
 In 1901 she came under the influ- cnce of the G1eatesr of all teachers. Lilli Lehman. an influence that was to prove lasting and of the greatest ebnefit to Geraldine Farrar. In 1905 she made her debut m the magnificent opera house at Monte Carlo, in Puc- cini's La Boheme' on the same even~ ing that Enrico Caruso made his debut as Dodolfo. Her next triumphant en- gagement was in Stockholm, where the venerable King Oscar became one of her warmest admirers, She sang in 1 Warsaw. Petrograd and all the other
 continental capitals

 Rise to Fame As Opera Singer

am Marcia Warren entranced the direc- tors of the St. Petersburg opera who !ls- tened to her voice triAf Carrying the analogy farther. Miss Farrar took her first operatic public by storm and earned the most eulogistic press notices ever given to a visiting star. while as Marcia Warren, royalty acknowledged her God given gift of voice.
 In the maktug of The World and Its Woman Miss Earrar had the joy of re- living her early triumphs on the operate stage In fact, during the filming of shat part of the story in which she makes her triumph in if'hais' the diva sang tne mirror song and on the screen-r e-epactcd the en otion of the young girl who sud- denly achieves 1ndying fame.
 These operatic scenes were moments of intense joy to Miss Farrar. for she com bined the two arts she loves--music and acting Those who see The World and It's Woman, :" W fl readily understand why these scenes are so narvelcusly real.

is continuing it's announced policy of showing only the biggest attractions ofrthe photoplay world
 "The World and It's Woman is one of those massive super productions that startle the world only once in while It cost thousands df dollars to produce and crisics have given high praise to the production.
 In Los Angeles this production was presented al price of s1, and this price prevailed during the showing in the big eastern cities And as one critic re- marked, "The people stood up at this price and readily declared they had eer7 tainly gotten their moneys worth"
 Geraldine Farrar has never appeared in as big or pretentious production and it is certainly the triumph of th's world celebrity, The plot of the story of The World and Its Woman re- voles around a woman's strong love and mans passion--of two men, two women, and the law of love.
 "The World, and Its Woman" is by Thompson Buchanan, and is big pro- duction in point of setting, story and emotional content. For the picturiza- ton of this tremendous story, the pro- ducer has surrounded Miss Farrar with as fine a cast as it was possible to ob- tain. Her husband Lou Tellegen plays the leading male role. Frank Lloyd, who ranks among the best directors In the profession, was chosen to guide the production.
 Moreover. the expenditure of thou sands of dollars for the erection of single scenes evidences the care and elaborateness with which the picture was made. Specialists were engaged to assist Hugo BaIlin, the art director ip- designing the massive settings in which the picture abounds. The result is per feet fidelity in locale, in costume and in spirit
 The story of 'fThe World and It's Woman" deals with the rise of an American girl from a position of ob- scurity as the daughter of an Ameri- can engineer, to the enviable role of the greatest prima donna of the opera During her rise, which is consummated just before the revolution which over threw the Russian dynasty of the Ro- manoffs the customs of the aristoc- racy, their indolent and pleasure seek ing lives, their intrigues and their sports are all set forth in dramatic form Later, when the CZar has been deposed, the city of Petrograd is seen in the throes> of revolution, and the fa- mous prima donna has turned her en- ergies from entertaining the aristoc- racy to caring for poor children.
 One of the most effective scenes pre- 1 sents Geraldine Farrar singing the exquisite Mirror Song" in Thais.
