The tiny Negro girl, her favor ite doll perched in a chair next to her piano, played 14 serious selections from the works of Bach Schubert, Tschaikowsky, Mozart, Brahms and other composers. Just three weeks short of her fourth birthday and wearing a white satin dress with a pink ribbon in her hair, Margaret ap peared before an audience of more than one hundred persons in the Cary Temple Auditorium. She bowed from the waist as she calmly looked over the audi ence before seating herself at the piano, equipped with raised ped als for her little legs. | She plunked a few keys, then swung into Bach’s minuet. Play ing entirely from memory, she followed “The Magic Flute” by Mozart. She played Tschaikowsk’s “Song of Russia” to introduce the second half of her recital. In the midst of “Ave Maria,” she yawned audibly but never missed a note. She received a rousing ovation at the end of her recital. Then she picked up her doll and ran to her mother. Margaret showed a spark of temperament a few hours before her debut. She wasn’t nervous about the recital but was a little irritated because her mother wouldn’t let her play with the doll. She and the doll, Rozarian, were dressed alike for the con- ' cert. Her mother, Mrs. William Harris, said she didn’t want her daughter to get the doll “mussed.” “She just won’t play without Rozarian,” Mrs. Harris said. “SI— never does.”
