JERITzA FOR METROPOLITAN.
Viennese Singer to Succeed Geraldine
Farar-FOur- Year Contract.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19.-Geraldine
Farrar's refusal to sign a contract with
the Metropolitan Opera Co. for next
year was followed yesterday by the an
nounccment by Giulio Gatti-Casazza.
director of the company that he had
engaged Maria Jeritza the Vienncse
singer. whose success has been the SEN
sation of the present season, for many
seasons to come.
Miss Jeritzas new contract calls for
four full seasons of 30 performances a
year. and will. it is said, be renewed.
so she will actually take the place of
Miss Farrar, whose contract, as offered
to her by Gatti- Casazza for next season.
called for only three months. or half the
season. 1t is thought that Miss Far
rar's pride was hurt by a realization
that she was no longer the greatest wom-
an singer so far as the terms of the con
tract went, and that she then decided to
remain away until her great personal
following should assert itself. and she
would be able to come back at least on
a par with anyone in the company.
