Tribute to Geraldine FARRAR (1882-1967): American operatic soprano and film actress, noted for her beauty, acting ability, and "the intimate timbre of her voice."
"To call the legendary Farrar a motion picture star is like referring to Winston Churchill as a painter. She was first and foremost an opera singer. Her performances were invariably greeted with wild enthusiasm; she was pursued by adoring young student fans, known as Gerry-flappers." The Parade's Gone By..." Kevin Brownlow (University of California Press - 1968)
NOTE: No apologies, no excuses... yes, that's the Love Theme from the 1962 Stanley Kubrick film "Lolita" (composed/conducted by Nelson Riddle).
