THE WHITE-TAYLOR VIOLIN ANI) PIANO RECITAL Distinguished Artists of the Race Greeted by an Immense Audience Which Is Well Pleased With Excel lent Program. An audience which packed St. John’s A. M. E. Church to the doors greeted Clarence Cameron White of Boston, one of America’s leading violinists, and T. Theo. Taylor of Chicago, the eminent pianist, who gave a violin and piano recital, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of that church, Monday night. The program was one of rare excellence. This was Mr. White’s second ap pearance in Omaha, he having given a recital here two years ago; but this was Mr. Taylor’s first appearance in our city. It is due Mr. Taylor to say that he is an artist at the piano as Mr. White is on the violin. Mr. White's first number was Son ate, Opus 21, by Gade, and his inter pretation of this difficult classic pro claimed him a master. “Chaeconc,” by Vitali, captivated the audience and provoked tremendous applause, Mr. White giving as an encore "Trau merie.” Mr. White’s other numbers were a group of four of his own com positions entitled “Bandana Sketches,” being interpretations of Negro life, and included a "Chant,” a “Lament,” a “Slave Seng” and a “Ne ;ro Dance;” his closin'- numbers were “Romance,” by Dvorak; “Orientate,” by Cui; “Gyps, Son ;” and “African Dancty” by S. Coleridge Taylor. Mr. Taylor’s numbers included a group of five: “A Lonely Wanderer,” by Greig; "Romance,” by Grunfeld; “Valse,” “Berceuse” and “Scherzo,” hy Chopin; Rhapsodic (No. 12),’by Liszt; “Improvisation” and “Kashmi ra,” oriental sketch, by Clarence Cameron White; “Deep River,” by Burleigh, and “Take Nabandanji,” by S. Coleridge Taylor. Mr. Taylor ap peared to the best advantage in his rendition of Liszt’s Rhapsodie. This fine well rendered classical program was interspersed with three selections by the Young Ladies’ Choral Club under the direction of Miss Ray Middleton, which were enjoyed by the audience. Two numbers were well done; one was faulty, but these young women should be encouraged to keep up their good work. A most commendable feature of the evening’s excellent entertainment was that the, program started nearly on time. SERGEANT WATKINS TO PUBLISH POEMS 649 Stirling St., Baltimore, Md. Jan. 14, 1919. The Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor The Monitor, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Father Williams: I am inclosing herewith President Bissell’s reply to my letter of last Christmas day. “Regardless of nation ality” seems to imply that "our sol diers” are not all Americans. I feel sure that “this ban” of which Mr. Bis sell speaks will not “be removed some time in the future” as Ion# as he and such as he continue to feed this fire of race prejudice with the fuel it de mands. I shall ever remember that pleas ant day I spent with you and your family w'hen I was in Omaha last Feb ruary. The autographed Prayer Book you presented me is one of my most valued possessions. My book of poems will be published soon, and I am plan ning to give readings of my work. I shall surely remember Omaha and my friends there. I heartily thank you for the copies of The Monitor sent me. My regards to Mrs. Williams and the rest of the family. Wishing you continued success for the New Year, I remain sincerely yours, LUCIAN B. WATKINS. THE N. A. A. C. P. FORUM The N. A. A. C. P. forum held a well attended and interesting session last Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at its regular place of meeting, St. John’s A. M. E.
