...music world's most talented and tempestuous diva, Manhattan-born Soprano Maria Meneghini Callas, winged from Italy to touch native soil for the first time since she held eight outnumbered process servers to a draw in a Chicago Civic Opera House fracas (TIME, Nov. 21). Sued for $300,000 by a Manhattan attorney who keeps on claiming that she owes him 10% of her earnings since he launched her in 1947 (when she scaled almost 200 Ibs.), slim (5 ft. 7 in., 132 Ibs.) Maria will make her Metropolitan Opera debut late this month. No process servers greeted...

...Manhattan-born Soprano Sills bowed at the age of three on a kiddy broadcast called Uncle Bob's Children's Hour, and even today is not above singing the tune she sang then (The Wedding of Jack and Jill). At seven she was performing such coloratura arias as the Bell Song from Lakmé and Caro Nome from Rigoletto, and singing them with skill; at twelve she retired for further study, but three years later she was back in harness, ready for the long road ahead...
