...Joan the Woman," a photo-play founded on the life of "that good maid whom Englishmen burned at Rouen," was presented last night for the first time in Boston with Mme. Farrar in the title role. The prima donna herself was in a box. Her appearance was made the occasion for one of those curious scenes now inseparable from Mme. Farrar's public visits to her native city. When she entered the box, house and orchestra rose simultaneously and faced her, the conductor waved his baton like an acolyte offering incense, and the band played "My Country Tis of Thee...

...announcement of an open air performance of "Siegfried" in the Stadium next June will bring pleasure to all lovers of good music. Two similar out-door productions, "Agamemnon" and "Joan of Arc," have been presented in the Stadium, and both met with pronounced success. It is planned to have this presentation as much as possible like the festivals at Bayreuth. The stage arrangements will resemble those of the previous performances. The Stadium is too well adapted for such uses as this to be given over entirely to athletics. It should be used more frequently for the presentation of great pageants...
