William J. Burns had ‘gothing to
gay"” Tuesday concerning his pro=pec
tive report on the Phagan murder
case, but asserted that the result of
his investization in all probability
would be made public some time
Wednesday.
“l can't tell vou the time of day,
even,” he said. “But 1 believe my re
port will be filed Wednesday.”
This being thé case, the report is
expected to be made a part of the evi
dence cited in the retrial motion and
usged in the legal battle for another
trial of L.eo M. Frank, which opens
Wedneszday.
In the meantime Solicitor Dorsey
has been occupied preparing his own
side of the engagement. Witnesses,
new and old, have b2en interviewed;
conferences have been held with de
tectives from headquarters and de
tectives privately retained by Mr.
Dorsey, and at least one important
affidavit is sald to have been made in
the Solicitor's office by a young girl
v hose name was withheld,
It is said that the State ha® a big
surprise ready to spring in the hear
ing Wednesday, and the report is that
the Solicitor's office has come by some
importart new evidence that will aid
materially in combating the motion
for a new trial.
As to the reported purpose of the
Grand Jury to press perjury charges
against several of the trial witnesses
who have repudiated their testimony,
nothing more definite has been
learned. Mr. Dorsey would say noth
ing about the matter, not caring te
put the prosecution in the position of
infiuencing witnesses by fear of the
Grand Jury's action. A, L. Waldo,
the foreman, would say nothing fur
ther than that the Grand Jury had
not taken any decided action.

Glimpse Given Into Home of Fa-;
mous Singer Who Charms At- |
1
lanta Operagoers. |
= a
By IRVING WEIL. |
NEW YORK, April 21.--The touch- |
stone to a comprehension pf the an‘
and the personality of Geraldine P'ar-I
rar, prima donna of the Metropoli
tan Opera Company, is a realization
that she, perbaps more especially
than any other singing actress of the
‘day, is an individuality.
| Individuality dominater her and
whatever she does—what she weurs,
where and how she lives, what she
thinks and says, the way she sings
and the manner of “composing” the
characters of her operatic repertoire.
In all these things—and in many
more besides—she is distinctly dif
ferent from everyone else.
Some of the individual things Miss
Farrar thinks about her art and about
herself and, yes, about other people
are here set down for the readers of
The Atlanta Georgian, but you must
expect neither sequence nor particu
lar é¢ontinuity in thought or expres
sion. Miss Farrar pursues one
thought until it ends in a kind of
flash of phrase and then she turns to
another.
Miss Farrar was busy preparing for
her visit next week to Atlanta, which
she awaits with delight, when I call
ad, but consented to spare a few
moments for an interview,
“About your New lork home—for
it is vour home, Isn't it?" 1 ventured
by way of preliminary.
“Yes, that's precisely what it is,
and it is something that 1 vow |}
shall never again be without.”
. The house is just a step from Cen
tral Park, in the lower seventies, and
it i& just the kind of house one would
never suspect & prima donna of liv
\pg in.
Happiest Moement of Her Life.
“When 1 first came to this house”
said Miss Farrar, “1 think that was
one of the happiest moments of my
life. It took me some time to get
used to the idea that it was all my
own. But it realy is, and what is
in it is &ll my own idea, too.”
Miss Farrar is a real hostess in
ther library, which is a real library
with real books in it. And there are
pictures and logs-that are made 01l
woed and not gas, and that are burn
ed when the weather is chill All
piano is its largest plece of furni
ture, and there is a long, wide, writ-l
ing table, soft couches and cushions
and chairs of velvet. There are pho
tographs of Lilli Lehmann, of Sarah
Bernhardt and Mark'Twain, and alsol
of emperors and kings and princes,
queens and princesses, |
“You know,” interpolates the s'ng
er, “Lilli Lehmann and Sarah Bern
hardt have been the greatest in
fluences of my life. [ owe the art T
possess to them. 1 have always, of
course, wanted to know how tn act as
well as how to sing, amd I have
learned so much from Mme. Bern
i hardt.” :
Simplicity Throughout Home. ‘
But let the eye continue its quest
ibrough the Farrar home. |
Simplicity is the keynote every
where, but it is the kind of simplicity
that includes costliness, The prima
donna’s bedroom, which is not far
from the library, is imn French gray,
carpet and all, with French gray fap
estries on the walls, gray touched
with the faintest suggestion of pink.
in the bedroom there are no pictures,
only a little effigy of Madam Butter
fly on the mantel, where it looks as
if it grew.
“Just the kind of a room one
wouldn't suspect a singer to choose,
ism't it? And that is why 1 love it.”
Miss Farrar has a suite to herself,
her father and mother each have
other sultes, and all these as well as
the other rooms and balls have the
individual note. |
“Fhe best of a home of one's own,”
said the singer, "is that no one can
get to me unless [ choose, In that re
spect it is entirely different from ho
tel living. ] am growing more and
more to relish solitude.”
