KANSAS CITY, Mo. April l2.-
Friends Of Marion Talley here, who
have seen her amid her sewing, her
dishes and her dust cloths, were
not surprised when they learned
today of the sopranos announced
retirement from tie Metropolitan
Opera.
Il think undoubtedly Marion will
get farm" her father, c. NJ. Tai
ley. told the United Press. Talley,
a telegrapher for the Missouri Pa
clfc Railroad has kept his same

He believed Marion had no par
ticular farm in mind when she an
nounced her intention of buying
one. He thinks. however. she will
live in Ohio, state she always has
loved.
Asked regarding rumorS of his
daughter becoming married. Talley
answered abruptly. absolutely moth
inc TO it"
Miss Talley has quit the stage be-
cause she did not get a renewal of
contract. in the opinion of Luigi
Vaiani. musical critic of the Kansas
City Journal-Post.
Miss Talley's career has always
been a sad story" Vaiani said,
with tn end inevitable. Other
than having a beautiful voice, she
has no claim to being an artist.
New ork critics agree in this.
Critic Tells You So
Her career was launched before
she was prepared. Kansas City is
partly to blame. 1t much much ado
about nothing"
Vaiani said Miss Talley was
judicious TO retire now instead Of
waiting for public decree. He knows
her intimately. having instructed
her in the Italian language.
Going into more detail as to Miss
Talley's voice, Vaiani said she was
a lyric soprano. and had no capacity
for becoming a "coloratura" soprano,
the type she desired to develop.
yaiani was the only prominent
musical critic in Kansas City to
claim at the time of Miss Talley's
debut three years ago that she could
not last.

NEW YORK, April l2.-Marion
Tallcy, who had her triumph at the
Metropolitan opera House at an age
when most girls are just starting
voice lessons, is going to give it all
ZIP and go back to the farm.
Announcement of Miss Talleys
retirement was made Thursday
night by George Engles, her man
ager.
Officials Of the Metropolitan were
astouuded that Miss Talley should
abandon her career at the age of %,
Il want to 20 back west with my
family and buy the farm I have al
ways wanted Miss Talley said
The youthful prima donna, a ma
tive of Kansas City, had her
100000 debut at the Metropolitan
at the age Of 10,
She appeared in "Rigoletto" and
a large part of the audience con-
sisted of persons from her home
town who paid $4,000 for a special
train to bring them here.
Later she appeared in Lucia,
"Mignon' and made several concert
tours.
Miss Talley's earnings have peen
considerable, and she said she would
make no attempts to accumulate
more money. She has only one more
engagement to sing, at Cleveland on
May T.
The New York music world was
staggered by Miss Talley's an
nOuncement.
Many RumOrs Fly
Unable 20 explain the operation
of the mind of the 23-year-oId
prima donna, Broadway looked for
hidden reasons. Rumors were the
result.
One report suggested Marion has
signed a contract for the talkies
Another held that Miss Talley is
dissatisfied with her own progress
in singing.
Supporting this rumor we're cited
opinions of some critics recently
'Aletl iANA NbANC " % AOlQ anu illllCAl-
bic and that she is unable to act.
A cynical Broadway intimated
that the young singer had an am
bilious press agent.
Contract Mentioned
Miss Talley had a conference
scheduled today with Gatti-Casazza,
director Of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. at which her contract for
next season was to be discussed.
Broadway rumor factories said per-
haps her contract was not to be
renewed.
A year ago last February MarionS
earnings in her brief career were
estimated at $334.OO0 and the New
York World today said that it was
probable her wealth at this time
is about that figure. The New York
Telegram said that friends of the
singer estimated her wealth at from
100000 to S750,O0O

$4,000 Loss
IS CAUSED BY
SCHOOL FIRE
Flames Are Confined to
Boiler Room at Broad
Ripple High,
BLAME ESCAPING GAS
Smoke PenetrateS Class
rooms; Two Firemen Are
Overcome.

Escaping gas which reached the
boiler room was blamed by firemen
for the explosion and fire which
caused approximately $4,000 dam
age at Broad Ripple high school.
1115 East SiXty-third street, at
q. m. today.
Flames were confined to the boiler
room and stock room in the base
ment, but glass was broken from
doors and windows on the main
floor, permitting smoke to pene<
trate into the class rooms. Heaviest
damage was to plaStering in the
main corridor.
Two firemen, Lieutenant Carl
Sims, 6119 Cornell avenue, and Her
man Frey, 6048 Ashland avenue,
from engine house 80, were sickened
by fumes while subduing the blaze,
but recovered quickly. George
Hardesty, 3519 KenWood, fireman,
injured his leg slightly in a fall
down the basement stairs.
Differ on Cause
School officials and fremen
differed in their theories of the
cause of the blaze. Captain P. j.
Riley of Station 80, who directed
the fight, said escaping gas un-
doubtedly was responsible. Gas
fumes were so bad that firemen had
to use masks. AS soon as they
penetrated the basement they
turned off the gas at the meter,
Riley said.
Frank H. Osler, assistant super
intendent of buildings and grounds
for the public schools, said the fire
started in rubbish under the stairs
to the sub basement boiler-room.
He believes window and glass doors
we're broken from the draft created
when firemen entered.
Lawrence DOakes, a neWsboy, dis
covered the plaze and NOTED Gus
todian J. M. Kepner, 6180 Marion
road, who turned in the alarm.
Firemen said dense clouds of smoke
were belching from shattered win
dows when they arrived.
No One Hears Blast
No one in the neighborhood heard
an explosion.
-Four hundred pupils and twenty
teachers were given an unexpected
holiday. K. v. zimmerman, prin-
cipal, said classes would be resumed
Monday, expecting temporary re-
pairs to be made by that time.
Glass pictures Of historical and
sentimental value, hanging in the
main floor corridor, we're badly
damaged by smoke.
The fact that classes we're broken
from their frames lent support to
the explosion theory.
Firemen secuted suggestions the
fire might have been incendiary.
