Has Geraldine -Revised Her Farrar Again “Reversible” Matrimonial Philosophy? BEFORE Taking Called All Men ‘“‘Cakes’’ With Different “Icings,’’ and Said She’d Never Eat but One Kind Forever. AFTER Taking Found “‘Companionship’’ and Mutual Desire for Simple Life ‘‘Key to Married Happiness and Content.’’ NOW—? ? ? £ ? ? ? ? ? By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1921, by the Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World), EFORB she married Lou Tellegen, Geraldine Farrar sald: “I shall never marry because marriage means eating one cake all your life and keeping on eating it whether you like it or not.” After sie married Lou Tellegen, Geraldine Farrar said: “Yes, it certainly is a success. We are very, very happy. The secret? Good comradeship, similar tastes, an equal interest in art and complete onfidence in each other.” Now that the Farrar-Tellegen matrimonial ship has drifted on the rocks, now that the matince-idol- husband is about to sue the prima- donna-wife for separation, and she is to fight his suit with counter- action, isn't Geraldine wondering if first thoughts are not better than second? Never was there a sharper con- trast between pre-matrimonial and post-matrimonial views than in those voiced most frankly by Geraldine Farrar before and after taking Lou ‘Tellegen. ‘That she never would marry, that married artists cannot be happy, that Mo man could ever mean to her as much as her art, that she would not the herself to one person of whom ghe might grow tired—these were the ideas of Geraldine unwed. That she was so happily married, that hers was a very special case, that she and her husband were 50 interested in each other's work, that they shared confidence, sympathy, frankness and comradeship and a d' sire for a simple, frugal life—these were the confessions of Geraldine wed, One can't help wondering if to-day the ghost of the earlier, more coolly cynical Geraldine is pot revisiting te woman who is alleged to have locked her husband out of their home—whiie her lawyer retorts that “she has been far too lenient with this arrogant man"—and if the ghost is not whis- pering in her ear, “I could have told you! You might have known!" For in her pre-matrimonial era this prima donna said, eleven years ago: “Ll mever shall marry; J never have intended to marry. 1 am old-fashioned enough to think a woman should be subordinate to her husband, and 1 must have my freedom or I can't work, and I don’t want to live if I can't work. Five years later, and still unwed, she remarked, wisely: “Hypocrisy is at the bottom of all these stories about happily marriea stage stars. Tuey would give their ten fingers if they dared to say so. They kowtow to re- spectability. They enter into a part- nership where they know beforenand they cannot fulfil all the demandy of each, Either they must leave the \heatre or leave marriage.” (Was Geraldine a prophet? she nor Lou Tellegen has theatre. And now?——) Even more fully and picturesquely did Miss Farrar expound her before- taking-matrimony — philc when she told The Evening World just few months prior wo her wedding day: “Men are like cakes in a bag. After you have begun to eat the cake wi the green ic.ng you think perhaps you would like the one with pink icing better. You try that, and a yearning for chocolate seizes you You put that aside, for the cake still in the boitom of the bag allures.
