CHICAGO, III - A three year old tiny Negro girl, Margaret Rozarian Harris, made her debut last Sunday as a classical pianist and drew prolonged applause from her audience.

The tiny girl with her favorite doll perched in a chair next to her baby grand piano, played fourteen selections from the work of Bach, Schubert, Tchaikowsky, Mozart, Brahms and other composers. She appeared at Carey's Temple wearing a white satin dress with pink ribbon in her hair. She played Tchaikowsky'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.
