Typewritten caption on a half sheet of paper affixed to reverse: From Curtis Phillips. The famous duo-piano team, Miss Iren Marik and John Ranck, are shown at their two grand pianos on the outdoor stage of Deepest Valley Theatre at the foot of Mt. Whitney. These noted artists played Olivier Messiaen's "Vision de l'Amen," stirring music especially suited to the varied and majestic scene around them. Critics have praised the perfect acoustics of the setting with its low ambience and lack of echo.
Stamped in black ink on reverse with Curtis Phillips' information.
