THE PENINSULA

Mr. Harold Scott And Mr. Li Chor Chi

Mr. Harold Scott, in co-operation with Mr. Li Chor Chi, gave a splendid musical recital last night at the Peninsula Hotel Rose Room. The attendance, though disappointing in numbers, gave tull accord to their appreciation of the renditions of these two well-known artists.

His ability and the charm of his piano playing are well-known, both locally and in many cities in China, and Mr. Scott did not disappoint als audience in its expectations. He preceded his pieces with a abort verbal description of his music and its intended emotions.

A note, of originality and beauty was struck when Mr. Scott played two pleces of his own composition, thus revealing not only his talent as a planist but also that of a
