<blockquote>Here is the stuff of which high tragedy is made, but Greensfelder succeeded in evolving only obvious melodrama. The fine performance by Stanley Farrar as Hoffnagel was the saving grace of the show. He pulled 'Broomsticks, Amen' along with a performance that was more professional than amateur, sincere, powerful, well balanced and acute.<ref>Soanes, Wood (December 5, 1934).

Beginning on October 4, 1937, Farrar appeared with Howard Duff, Jack Edwards, Marjorie Smith and Herb Allen in the Mutual Broadcasting serial ''The Phantom Pilot''. The show aired for 2 weeks as a "sustaining" series before being sponsored by Young and Rubicam.<ref>[https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Radio-Daily/RD-1937/RA-1937-Oct.pdf#page=40 "San Francisco"].

In the spring of 1949, ''The Hollywood Reporter'' noted that Farrar had begun publishing ''The 24 Sheet'', a news bulletin for actors.<ref>{{cite news |title=Radio-TV Briefs |author= |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=March 31, 1949 |page=10 |quote= |id={{ProQuest|2339772286}}}}</ref>

On August 26, 1953, ''Hollywood Citizen-News'' entertainment writer Zuma Palmer drew readers' attention to an uncommon occurrence: at a time when the prohibition of prerecorded network radio dramas had only recently been lifted, both Farrar and co-star Marian Richman appeared on ''Dr. Christian'' and simultaneously on the transcribed series, ''Family Theater''.<ref name ="ZPreDC–FT">Palmer, Zuma (August 23, 1953).

In 1956, Farrar was elected treasurer, and, the following year, recording secretary of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.<ref>{{cite news |title=AFTRA Reelects Nelson |author= |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 16, 1956 |page=10 |quote=Others elected were: Clayton 'Bud' collyer, Eleanor Engle, Luis Van Rooten, Bill Baldwin, Fred D.

==Personal life and death== From March 22, 1936 until his death, Farrar was married to fellow actor Margaret Mary "Margo" Klink,<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/142988879/?clipping_id=143810214 "Wedding to Be Held This Afternoon"].

On April 4, 1974, while onstage at the Mendocino Arts Center, portraying Orgon in Molière's ''Tartuffe'', Farrar suffered a heart attack and collapsed.
