Famous Prima Donna to Be
Assisted by Distinguished
Artists.

The appearance of Geraldine Far
RAJ, the famous prima donna of two
continents. marks the greatest mu-
steal event in the history of Chat
tanooga- Rare as Miss Farrar's ap-
pearances in the concert hall neces-
sarily are. she brings into 1t the
qualities that have made her O. vivid
and distinguished figure in the opera
houses of Europe and America. 2
Miss Farrar is now in the prime of
her powers. In recent years her
voice has gained in richness, in
warmth and in the expressive quail
ity that has long been its signal and
CHARACTERISTIC distinction. Even in
the concert hall she dramatizes oper-
attic fragments so that audiences feel
the character, the situation, the pas
sion. They hear and believe the
Butterfly. Carmen, Manon and Mar
guerite, for Miss Farrar can pene-
trate and absorb the quality OF the
songs and give them forth to her
hearers so that they also shall thrill
TO them.
This intensity is the secret Of Miss
Farrar's personality, the source of
her powers over her audiences alike
In opera house and concert hall.
The prima donna will be assisted
BY q company of distinguished ar
lists. Arthur Hackett. tenor; Carl
Webster, 'cellist and Claude Gotthelf,
nianist.
