Mary Carlisle Howe and Anne

Barclay, Baritone.

The vogue for two-piano music in
Washington was given substantial
impetus In the performances of two
charming groups by Mary Carlisle
Howe, composer and pianist, and
Anne Hull. in the seventh musical
morning, under the auspices of Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend, at Rauscher's
Yesterday. Their selections ranged
from a choral prelude by Bach to an
intriguing waltz of Arensky, given
as the encore to the last group. In
the Bach number there seemed a
slight lack of unity, which soon dis
appeared. The other selections were
given with a unity of shading, EN-
phasis and tone production that was
remarkable. Especially interesting
were Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre,"
two Spanish folk dances, "Petineras"
and "Zorzico"; Ravers la Valse,"
and the Arensky encore. The inter
weaving of arpeggios alternating
from one to the other instrument, in
the encore. was particularly interest
ing. Other selections included Rach-
lnanioffs La Mint TAmour," Dover
noy's "Feu Roulant" and Debussys
"Minuet."
