Popular Songs
Defended By
La Tdlley

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 6 G.N.SO.
Popular songs have more warmth
and sympathy than the difficult
and highly technical operas"
Marion Talley, Kansas Songbird
and former Metropolitan Opera
star, made that statement today
Entertainment must change
as well as the times and philoSo-
phies. And if screen singing is
to bring joy into the hearts Of my
hearers - then they shall have
their hearts desire.
For giving the public what it
wants is a noble calling in itself

A CoIOrfuI Career
Strong words from the girl who
made her starring debut at the
Metropolitan when she was 19
years old and remained there foul
seasons before Hollywood and Its
fabulous salaries beckoned.
If Horatio Alger and the author
Of Cinderella had combined thei1
imaginations, it is doubtful If Miss
Talley's life could have been more
interesting.
A radio survey completed today
indicated that her broadcaStS have
created an incessant demand fol
screen plays starring her. A re
public movie studios executive said
that Miss Talley's film career was
going to be even more spectacular
than her career in grand opera.
"The volume of kilograms and
mail pouring into the studio" he
said, "has started a hectic search
on our part for suitable Talley
film vehicle. In one month we
have looked over more than 300
plays, books, and originals,
adaptable to music"
Miss Talley said she was "happy
over the new encouragement. The
screen and radio media are entirely
different from opera music. The
Metropolitan audience is interested
solely in musicianship. Picture
patrons want a story. If there i!
singing in the story, then it mus
have a logical place in the plot

WALKS BAREFOOTED
"It was a long, long way from
the sWank dinner party I attended
at the AStor at And and Broad
way to 86th and East River" said
Tyrone Power, and the reason
I walked that distance in such a
startling manner was because my
shoes pinched. Besides, I was
broke, so broke that didn't even
have a nickel to ride the subway.
I had been in New York about
three months, living on five dol
lars a week, and my only lucky
break had been the use of a spare
room in the home of an old family
friend, Michael Strange, which
was donated to me, rent-free."
Although he had made daily
round of the theatrical agencies,
the only jobs Tyrone had been
able to get were several unim-
portant roles in radio programs
however, these did help his budget
to a slight extent. Then came
the day when a hunch led him
to his "big break"
Katharine Cornell was appear

this was one play I really wanted
to see, but I didn't have the money
to buy a ticket. So I played a
hunch. I called on Stanley Gil.

pany, a man I had met on several
occasions, intending to ask for a

if would be interested in a role

Would I be Interested Boy. that
was really my lucky day. And
