COMMERCIAL LOSSES
The Monitor regrets three recent
losses to our people in the commercial
and business world. These are the
selling out of the grocery business at
Twenty-seventh and l,ake, which was
so creditably conducted by Brown &
Andrews, two enterprising young
men; the sale last week of the Greg
ory Kandy Kitchen, which was a
credit to the community and which
had a large patronage, and the sale
this week of the Loyal theatre, which
was so satisfactorily conducted by
Messrs. Walker and Dorsey. We re
gret that all these places have been
allowed to pass out of the hands of
our race.
WOMAN TAXI IlltfYEIt
The first woman taxi driver of
Omaha is Mrs. J. D. Lewis. Her hus
band, the well known taxi man, hav

FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT
CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE
First Appearance of Famous Artist
in Omaha a Marked Success—Ren
ders Pleasing Classical Program
Miss May belle Clark, Pianist, Shares
Honors With Her
A large and appreciative audience
which filled the auditorium of Grove
M. F. church greeted Mrs. Florence
Cole Talbert, the famous lyric soprano
and winner of the 1916 diamond medal
awarded by the Chicago conservatory
of music, on her first appearance in
Omaha. Mrs. Talbert’s accompanist
is Miss Ma.vbelle Clark of Cleveland.
Both young women arc artists of the
first rank. The audience was well re
paid by the excellent program ren
dered. It was a classical program of
superior merit from the opening to
the closing number.
Mrs. Talbert has a striking stage
presence, a charming personality
which places her at once en rapport
with her audience; and a voice of
singular sweetness and tonality under
perfect control, which she uses with
wonderful interpretative power.
Her opening number was “Now
Hark to the Gentle Lark,” by Des
sauen, and "I’ve Been Roaming,” Old
English. Her second number was a
trilogy of Negro Spirituals by P t:
"Pm So Glad That Troublp Don’t Last
Always,” “Somebody’s Knocking at
Your Door” and "Follow Me.’ This
was followed bv a triad, “Summer’ by
Chaminade; “On Wings of Song” by
Mendelssohn, and "The Wind’s in the
South” by Scott. A s an encore she
gave “The Pav I Get to Heaven.” A
group of traditional Indian songs
evoked pronounced applause. They
were “Invocation to the Sun God” by
Troyer; "Pakoble" (The Rose) and
"By Weeping Waters,” the two latter
by Lieurance. For her last number
on the program, aria “Charmont
Oiseau” (Brilliant Bird), by David
Mrs. Talbert substituted by request
the selection for which in a class of
sixty and she the only member of her
rare was awarded the diamond medal
Aria from “La Traviata,” by Guiseppi
Verdi, which she sang in Italian. This
number thrilled her audience. She
graciously responded as a closing
number with a soulful ballad, "Going
Down the Pathway to Home Sweet
Home.”
Miss Clark’s accompaniment wag
perfect and she contributed two bril
liant numbers to the program as solos
“Meditation” by Tchaikowski, and
“Rondo Capricciose” by Mendelssohn.
Miss Clark’s gracious manner and de
lightful personality contribute also to
her artistry.
The recital was given under the
auspices of the Helpers’ dub and was
a financial as well as an artistic suc
cess.
The Monitor cannot refrain from
favorably commenting upon several
features of the local arrangements for
the recital. First it was noticeable
that the program began practically on
the advertised hour, 8:30; secondly
late comers were not seated during
tlio rend't’on of any number, and
thirdly, the platform was g>ven on
artistic setting befitting the occasion.
