demonstrated the difference .between
Brame and iNew York point systems,
the latter 'having only two vertical

system lits Laramie said She Show-

of 'heavy paper is set in a 'frame; an-

'Apart from the excellence of in
divirlun'1 talent there is a unity of
spirit in the ensemble lar .more
beautiful and satisfying than, mere
multiplication ,could produce of , it-
self. '''We enjoy our* work so
much!" That is the secret, and that
is why the audience enjoyed the
playing and tinging of the San -
'beam Concert Trio, so htch:
Watching them at work on the
platform you ,forget their affliction.
They look so happy, and are so
graceful a •nal ,confident in bearing
that many sighted artists of some
renoism ,night take a ;lesson 'frons
them in these -details with advan-
tage to themselves. But there is a
sweet intensity in all the music
they stake that very 'few sighted
magic makers ever achieve, Impos-
sible to describe this beautiful qua-
lity in words. 1P'lay your piano in
the dark, sing in •the dark, shut
your eyes When you listen closely
to music you, lo-vc. Blot out every
distraction of sight and movement
about you and concentrate an tone
and rhythm. Then your -music will
be like this the Sunbeam Trio
makes.
