Pasmore Trio Sure
To Delight Maui in
Concert at Kahului

Several months have passed since
Maui folk were delighted with several
Ll:2bers rendered on her cello by Miss
Dorothy Pasmore on the occasion of
Miss Sadie Careys recital at the Ter
ritorial Building in Kahului. At that
time Miss Pasmore said that she
would return to the Valley Isle and
ever since those who heard her on
that occasion and others who missed
the rare treat have been waiting for
the fulfillment of the promise. Miss
Pasmore is coming back and she is
coming with her two other musicians
of rare talents and charm. The Pas
more trio of musicians will be heard
in the Territorial Building on April
20, the entertainment being arranged
by the Woman's Guild of the Church
of the Good Shepherd.
Striking Personalities
1t is rather strange but often true
that in an ensemble organization three
personalities absolutely different may
unite in producing perfect harmony.
Such is the case with the Pasmore
Trio, whose members are as interest
ing off stage as on, Mary and Dorothy
Pasmore are as different as though

Mary, the violinist, is tall and stately
and has the proportions of a Greek
statue, while her sister Dorothy is
small and extremely %vivacious and
quickly makes friends with her audi
ence. Marie Sloss, pianist of the trio,
is really beautiful, with clear-cut,
cameolike features and an indescrib-
able something which may perhaps be
called magnetism, which makes it.
self felt as soon as she steps upon
the stage. Gowned in artistic robes
specially designed for them the three
young artists make a picture which
adds not a little to the enjoyment of
their programs. They believe that the
eye as well as the ear should be pleas
ed when a concert is given and that
they succeed in achieving this result
is proved by the comments of the
press everywhere.
Personality is noticeable also in
their music. Mary Pasmore although
TO outward appearance, reserved and
quiet, believes these qualities when
she plays. Her interpretations are
marked by great breadth, pathos and
warmth and decided vi~rtuosity. She
always surprises by this quality in
her playing, appearing as she does, so
calm and aloof.
Displayed Talents Early
Dorothy, the %cellist, charms by her
sympathic tone and the joie de la vie
expressed in her playing. Even as a
child of six she drew tears from the
eyes of many in her audiences and it
is that intangible something called
sympathy which is her chief character
istic. Aside from this quality she has
a technique equal to all demands. p
The playing of Marie Sloss may be
well described by the one word fas-
cinating. Besides possessing a brill
liant technique which encompasses the
most difficult scores with ease, Miss
Sloss has nervous energy to such a
marked degree, that it seems to actual
ly cause sparks to fly from the key
board. Her work is at the same time
deep and poetic, solid and intellectual,
showing a more than dual personality.
Play as One
These three so different natures
have, strangely enough almost identi.
cal musical feelings and opinions
which make it possible for them to
play as one. Their work together has
been harmonious from the start and
in spite of decided divergences of opin.
ion on other subjects, they always
agree when it ome to music. It is
known that many such groups of play.
ers scrap bitterly over how their
music should be performed, but in the
case of the Pasmore's all the usual
~precedents are broken and they re,
main friends even though they do play
together an example which might well
be followed by others in the musical
profession.
