T TALLEY, MARION, Soprano
Marion Talley is an artist by natural right. She was born at Nevada, Missouri. She sang as a mere tot, and rejoiced in it. As a child she was taken into a choir of mature singers. The purity of her voice and the truthfulness of her ear amazed everyone who heard her. By the time she was fifteen years old her fame had spread to the East, and she received a hearing at the Metropolitan Opera House. Advised to put in a couple of years at further study, she had not passed out of her teens when her début took place as Gilda in “Rigoletto.” And a sophisticated New York audience almost broke down the doors to get in and hear. She at once took place among the foremost coloratura sopranos of the day. She was an artist who took especial pleasure in the most difficult and exacting problems of her work; who sang easily and joyously nevertheless. During her short career she carried the art of song in America to very great heights.

TELVA, MARION, Mezzo-Soprano
Marion Telva is one of the living denials to the repeated assertion that great musical artists must be born and trained in Europe. Born at St. Louis, Mo., Miss Telva received her early training in the ranks of a local choir. By the time she was sixteen her fame had come to the attention of Mme. Schumann-Heink, who mapped out a course of further study for her. In 1919 she appeared as a soloist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and the year following was engaged by Gatti-Casazza for the Metropolitan. Since that time her rise to fame has been steady and secure. Her voice is exceptionally warm and vital, being capable of extraordinary range and high dramatic fervor.
