The title on this glass negative is simply "Farrar," and the record gives no date or full name. The surname most likely refers to Geraldine Farrar, the American soprano who was a leading figure at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and later a silent film star, but the record does not confirm it. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century, and its captions were often written quickly, so the identification should be read as a likely reading rather than a confirmed fact.
