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.

gan, pastor of Grove M. E., and
Messrs. Rayford, Scruggs, Singleton

were enrolled. The association’s at
tention was called to the alleged at
tempted assault of a respectable
young Colored girl by a wihte man
of this city as a case in which the
association must take an active inter
est.
The forum will meet at the same
place next Sunday afternoon at 4
o’clock, when an interesting program
will be presented. Dr. P. W. Sawyer
will be the principal speaker, the sub
ject of his address being “Roosevelt

The public is invited to attend these
meetings and will be benefittod by so
doing. The meeting place is centrally
