them--but they have ceased to be magic chariots to us. And as for
their tires, they are mere "shoes" and "tubes"--anything but the
bubbles of air that they are.

In the whole mechanism of modern transportation there is nothing so
paradoxical, nothing so daring in conception as these same bubbles
of air which we call tires.

GERALDINE FARRAR'S ADVICE TO ASPIRING SINGERS

INTERVIEW BY JOHN CORBIN

"When did I first decide to be an opera singer?" Miss Farrar smiled.
"Let me see. At least as early as the age of eight. This is how I
remember. At school I used to get good marks in most of my studies,
but in arithmetic my mark was about sixty. That made me unhappy. But
once when I was eight, I distinctly remember, I reflected that it
didn't really matter because I was going to be an opera singer. How
long before that I had decided on my career I can't say."
