Geraldine Farrar's
Diuorce Suit 10 Be
Tried in Open Court

New York, Jan. J.-Trial of the
divorce suit brought by Geraldine
Farrar, the former leading soprano
Of the Metropolitan Opera company.
against Lou Tellegen, dramatic star.
WIS sent down by Justice Cohalan of
the supreme court for next Thursday
despite the protests of counsel for
the defendant.
The setting of the date of trial for
next Thursday not only indicates that
Miss Farrar expects TO be free in the
spring. but 1t also appears that the
trial will be held in open court rather
than by allowing the testimony to
be taken in private before a referee.
In his counter claim Mr. Tellegen
did not ask for divorce. He said
he would be satisfied with q separa.
ton.
When attorneys for Miss t'arrar
suggested next Thursday as a good
day on which to begin the trial, a
protest was made that Mr.. Tellegen
should be allowed at least a month S
notice to enable him to cancel en-.
gagements.
Miss Farrar's attorney said on the
contrary that Miss Farrar herself
had a few dates to keep in the con.
cert field and that she could i'll afford
10 have her tour broken up waiting
around New York for her husband TO
quit playing the hero to the Pacific
coast matinee girls.

His final statement follows:
"All suggestions which have Geen
received from all viewpoints. and they
are many and varied, will be referred
to the proper parties. This is the kind
OK question that must be left finally
to the judgment of the public on the

matters either for 10000. 900 people,
or for great industry and art Such
a condition in the development of :,
business is absolutely unsound ecu
nomically. and from every other
standpoint. and permanently must
not be. A temporary frame work of
scaffolding may be a very valuable
tool for a period in the remodeling
or construction OF a great building.
but 1t must be remembered as the
building progresses that such struc-
lures are only temporary facilities"
