! ERALDINE rARRAR's concert

N ERALDINE FARRARS concert N 7 tour, which took her to Cincin-
 natl last Wednesday for the opening conrert of the season there, has been so phenomenal that it is almost unbelievable, for in every place she has appeared capacity houses have greeted the world famous prima donna and popular movie" star.

Her voice possesses appealing quality in all the registers. her vocal technique is well nigh Dawless. and her diction Is marked by clarity that is as de- lightful as it is rare. She brings to the concert platform much of the dramatic intensity that has made her the suc- cessful artist she is, but in addition she has a fine sense of proportion and her singing of the more susdued numbers is characterized by a boise that never fails to render her work in the simplest ballads wonderfully effective.
