Marion Nevada Talley, youngest man or woman in Who's Who, makes more money than most of that distinguished company. Just old enough to vote, she has earned $334,892 in the last two years in addition to her Metropolitan Opera salary. Buxom sweet singer from the middle west, she is sought for concerts the country over. The figure was divulged last week by concert manager Francis C. Coppicus with whom Miss Talley is about to part on none too friendly terms...
Marion Nevada Talley, 21, buxom, sweet-voiced soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, openly broke last week with her concert manager, Francis C. Coppicus.

And last week two new colleges undertook to specialize in fitting women for strenuous modern life. Rich men's daughters assembled at Webber College, Babson Park, Florida. There they will spend the winter, learn to administer estates, specialize in the care of securities, real estate, hope...
...warm coat of California tan. An inevitably charming and good-natured outlaw, he cracks his long whip, shoots, stabs as if he were playing the role of a contemporary gangster instead of Joaquin Murrietta whose career was a trail of blood, bullets, alcohol and love for a pure sweet girl through the days of '49. There is no need to fear that Jake Hamby and his gang will be spry enough to catch and hang so gallant a jack, although they make violent efforts...
