The house containing that doubtful title is none other than those synthetic glamor girls the Alpha Coos.

More rarely do they find duo-pianists of such perfection. The two Russian pian ists played with such breath-tak ing clarity, such subtle and unani mous changes of pace, that New Yorkers cheered. Their frighten ingly fast passages never sound muddled.” Dr. Smith Speaks Dr. Warren D.
