End of 30-Year Career Means Only Beginning of New Ad- | ventures for Her Ridgefield, Conn., Aug. 10.—Retire- ment means the beginning of an ex- citing new adventure to Geraldine! Farrar. Back at her handsome country estate here after a spectacular 30- year career in grand opera, Miss| Farrar has no intention of playing an unfamiliar domestic role or becoming, . & placid suburban matron. No siree! She’s going to spend the! remainder of her life in “adult play.” | “Am I going to keep house or cook ... heaven's no! I never learned to cook in my life and I'm @ terrible housekeeper. I have one of the best French cooks in the world. She has been with me 15 years, and if I spent the rest of my life trying I couldn't boil water as well as she does. I've never liked to sew or do} any cf the housewifey things. To! pretend any such interest now would be a sham...” Determined to Retire Farrar Ready to Retire, But Not to Domesticity Such is the beginning of Miss Far- rar’s declaration of independence: from the stage where, between the} ages of 19 and 49, she has been an international figure. And Miss Farrar insists that she is forever through| with the theater. She even has dis-} posed of the costumes she used in; opera, and toward which she had! more than a sentimental affection. Admittedly a “hopeless romantic” and intending to stay such, Miss) Farrar is planning more than one pilgrimage to sections of the world where she has been before as a limin- ary of the operatic world. If neces-| sary, she will travel incognito so that/ she can sit back and “watch the} whole show” without being disturbed. “Imagine being able to go to China or Japan—dr any place you can think of—and not care whether or/ not ~ou catch cold, or sneeze, or; break an arm.” | The mere thought of such a re- lease from past restrain‘; and fears) brings a contented sigh. 1 A Life of Denials : It seems that a great artist is trail- ed by an endless retinue of precau- tionary admonitions. The “precious throat” is always guarded. And so, although Miss Farrar has been in most parts of the world, she never} has had time or opportunity to see Scores of things that interest her! keenly. | And Miss Farrar is a person of} many interests, with a personality I could crowd in. I even found my-! self going to the opera—and I'm go- ing to the opera all over Europe.
