Tumult Follows Callas Theft Is Puzzling Callas Jilts Dallas
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —(UPI)— The thief reported by opera singer Maria Callas to have entered her hotel suite and made off with an assortment of jewelry, plus $275 cash, must have been a latter-day Houdini, police said today.
Officers found no evidence of a break-in and no one was seen by the guard stationed outside the diva's door to the presidential suite of the hotel.
The altitude of the suite, on the 11th floor, seemed to eliminate the windows as a potential entrance.
Someone, police said, had worked on the door to the room, but "in a clumsy way — apparently with a monkey wrench."
Miss Calls reported the matter indignantly to hotel personnel early yesterday. When hotel investigation failed to turn up the valuables which had been reported missing, the manager notified police, extracting a secrecy pledge in compliance with Miss Calls' demands.
Police kept their word and did not tell reporters about the matter.
But Miss Callas changed that in St. Louis, en route to New York. She told newsmen about the missing valuables.
The hotel said that with the exception of one 30-minute period, a guard had been posted at the door of the suite while Miss Callas was in Kansas City.

Kansan Want Ads Get Results
DALLAS, Tex. —(UPI)— Operahungry Dallasites will just have to wait a few more days for unpredictable singing star Maria Callas to arrive here.
It was believed she would fly directly to Dallas from her engagement at Kansas City last night, but not so.
With newsmen waiting, the plane arrived along with several members of the Callas staff — including the diva's pet poodle, Tov.
But no Madam Callas.
A spokesman explained the stormy lady of the opera had flown to Paris where she is expected to try to postpone a separation suit filed by her husband.
Her staff assured Dallas Civic Opera officials the singer would arrive in Dallas Monday in time to sing "Lucia" on Nov. 6.
She took to telling the truth; she said she was forty-two and five months. It may have been pleasing to the angels, but her elder sister was not gratified.—Hector Hugh Munro.
