Description

Probably related to Los Angeles Times article, May 10, 1936, "Beau Peep Whispers." … Junior League Musicale … Last Wednesday’s Junior League musicale in the quiet dignity of the Biltmore Ballroom … Madelaine Forthmann, looking blondely lovely in white chiffon, played Beethoven and Bach with exceptional skill, while Mildred (Mrs. William) Rains, in an Alice blue gown, was masterful in her contrasts of Chopin’s gay and somber moods. We thought the program rose to a new high in the talented two-piano playing of Rachmaninoff …
