Miss Farrar is supported by Lou Tellegen, her husband, as the lead, Madame Rose Dione, famous French actress and pupil of Sarah Bern- . hardt, Christina Pereda, the well- known Spanish dancer, Amparito Guillot, Dorothy Cummings, Bertram Glassby, Macey Harlam and Milton Ross.

He said he never could under- stand the meaning of the story. until later inlife when he héard of the ‘Mound - Builders.
