When concertgoers hear a pianist who combines technical finish with sound understanding of a score, they open their eyes. More rarely do they find duo-pianists of such perfection. Last week in Manhattan two topnotch teams of duo-pianists played a day apart. Music lovers were still glowing over the distinguished performance of Ethel Bartlett & Rae Robertson when two debutant Russian pianists sat down at pianos in Town Hall and played with such breathtaking clarity, such subtle and unanimous changes of pace, that New Yorkers cheered again...

...second act is frankly vaudeville. Giving in to the frantic cries of the guests, Miss Loftus does excellent parodies of Ethel Barrymore, Pauline Lord, Fannie Brice, Constance Collier and any vaudeville duo singing "It's Wonderful, It's Marvelous." Suddenly Mrs. Campbell turns from her formidably charming self into something strange and pretentious reciting Hecuba's speech from Euripides' The Trojan Women, then a fable about a mermaid.
