PERRY STREET THEATRE A GREAT OPERA TOLD Of PICTURE, GERALD INE FARRAR IN "CARMEN" TUESDAY, MARCH ai. Geraldine Farrar, the celebrated prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will make her debut to- photodramatic audiences in a film version of 1 moat famous opera, "Carmen," produced under the personal direction of i Cecil B. de Mille, for 'the Jesse L. Lasky i Feature Play Company. < The version of "Carmen" used in this i'l Paramount Picture is founded on the jl story by Prosper Merimee, and shows i Carmen as a half-wild, fascinating i ( creature, a gypsy by birth, and living i with a band of smugglers in the moun- ' tains near the coast of Spain. The smugglers -are foiled in their attempt to ; ' get their illegal goods into the little 1 1 town by Don Jose an officer in the reg- [ I iment stationed there. Carmen is sent i Pastia the leader of the smugglers and the local tavern keeper to faacin- . t ate Don Jose and make him forget his t duties and give the Smugglers an up- j | portunity to bring their goods into the 1 1 city. Carmen secures work in a tobacco c factory near the city wall to account i for her presence near Don Jose, and' it j is also announced that she will dance 1 . at the tavern in the evenings. The night Carmen dances in the tavern, she is the center of attraction. She is wooed un- 1 successfully by Morales, a brother offi- j ( cer of Don Jose's, and also by Escamillo, | ( young Toreador on his way to Seville , to enter the bull ring there. Escamillo ( loved Carmen for a long time, but • she, while attracted to him. has dung to her liberty. Escamillo asks Carmen t to accompany him to Sfaville, and she , tempted to listen to him, but Pastia I reminds her that her beauty is at present for Don Jose and she must carry • through .her plans. Den Jqaa, after | Carmen's wild, sensuous dance, loses. 1 his heart to her ; and that night when j (he passes by the breach in the "Wall , where he is on guuard, he follows her | off while the smugglers enter the oty. ] The following morning Carmen gets ] into an altercation at the tobacco fac- ] tory and cuts one of thp girls after a < terrific fight in which the whole factory is involved. The coldiers arc called, and Don Jo6e and some of his men arrest Carmen and i.tart to lead her away. ( As they pass the tavern. Carmen persuades Jose to let her have a word .with Pastia before she goes to prison, and Jose, leaving the soldiers outside, ac- j ' companies her in the tavern. Morales. 1 who is drinking makes some insulting I ' remarks to Jose, and the two men fight. ' Jose, aided bv Carmen, manages to i ' kill Morales, aw* Carmen escapes 1 1 through thp window and starts for the j 1 mountains, followed, shortly after by . Jose, whom the smugglers have taken j under their protection. Carmen sends for Escamillo. and de- 1 eides to accompany him to Seaville. Escamillo and Carmen, arrive in .Seville the day of the great bull fight- They i the center of all eyes. The young * Toreador enters the bull ring, and instantly receives the favor of the crowd i his bravery. Jose, however, has fol- 1 1 lowed the two to the arena. One of the 1 smugglers warns Carmen that Jose is ( waiting for her, but she. fearless as ever, i goee to confront him and tell him plainly that she does not care for him and that she has cast her lot with EscamiQo. Maddened by her refusal of his love after she has lead him to do so 1 much for her and overcome wfth jeal- ' ousy, Jose kills berv She dice at the 1 gates of the arena, as the crowd pro- ' claims Escamillo 'g victory. In the cast supporting Mies Farrar are ' audi noted artiste as Wallace Reid, playing Don Jose; Pedro de Cordoba, as 1 Escamilla, the Toreador; William Elmer, 1 as Morales; H. B. Carpenter as Pastia; ' -Teannie MacFherson, Anita King, Ernest ' Joy, James Neil, and others. •
