Maria Marova , bom in Russia-her father British, her mother Russian-fled with her parents to England at the time of the Revolution. She studied singing in Paris under a Russian professor and rose to fame. She has sung all over the Continent and is welcomed everywhere because she is a gifted linguist, singing in no fewer than nine languages. She was among the first to broadcast in this country and was heard on the air from Marconi House and from Savoy Hill. Maria Marova recently returned from New York where she broadcast and also appeared at the Carnegie Hall with great success in the role of Tatiana in Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin. She is to return to New York next January. She personally knew Poldowski who played tnany times at her home in Chelsea.
