CONCERT BY DESDUNES BAND
Draws Tremendous Audience to Audi
torium—.Masterly Work of Director,
Chorus and Soloist Described by
Florentine Frances Pinkston
The appearance of Desdunes’ hand
Monday evening at the Auditorium
drew an audience which for size and
enthusiasm must have warmed the
hearts of the organization of the hand
Iand members of St. John’s church.
The choral groups consisted of u
set of seven Negro melodies and spir
ituals, with band arrangement by the
popular director and leader of this
very progressive band. The choral
groups were beautiful in quality and
; even in their range. The personality
of the conductor won the approval of
(.lie large audience at once. The clas
sical part of the program was chosen
with good taste.
“The Poet and Peasant” overture
was a great musical treat, the phras
ing and artistic discretion in the use
of light and shade were very much in
evidence. The band exhibited a smooth
and brilliant technique throughout the
overture. Under the inspiring baton
of the conductor, the hand fairly out
did itself. The tremolo of the drums
reiteiatcd with gieat rapidity, produc
ing a gieat effect. Throughout the
conceit the vivid contrasts, dynamic
climaxes, changes of tone and tempi)
—all were in evidence, us if reveling
in the music.
Mrs. Cecelia Jewell sung with dis
tinction of style, sonority and ele
gance. She has a big, rich voice of
wide range. She has a renonance in
her voice, and the clarity of her dic
tion added to the enjoyment of the
piogram. A tremendous ovation was
accorded Mrs. Jewell and Mr. Levi
Broomfield at the close of the duet,
"Let the Rest of the World Go By."
Mr. Bloomfield’s voice was of light
timbre, owing to the poor acoustics,
but the tones were of mellow quality
and charm, in both tone color ami
dearness, with the least possible ef
fort. The audience was somewhat dis
appointed in not hearing the big soul
ful climax of his high tones as usual
ly ends his songs. The accompani
ment of the band throughout “The
Song of the Soul" waa very beautiful.
Mr. Desdunes has done wonderful
work in bringing his band so quickly
’ to its present state of excellence.
None but an exceedingly poetic per
son could have made such a super
ficial jjroup of things resolve them
selves into a little cycle of human in
terest with perfect unity as did Mr.
Desdunes in the conducting and ar
rangement of the Negro spirituals for
his band.
The technical skill of Mr. “Jeff*
Smith was perfect. The perfect
rhythm and lovely tones were a musi
cal treat to all music lovers. The ad
mirable way in which he plays his
instrument places him in rank as an
artist whom we should lie proud to
have in our community. His concert
deportment and st>ie commanded the
audience’s respect and interest and He
was rewarded with hearty applause.
The well trained soloists and chorus
and the way in which they sang were
heaitily received.
M*'. Desdunes takes mental note of
the mood, the sentiment of the music
and can discreetly convey it to the
musicians of his band. It seems safe
to prophesy a brilliantly successful
career for him and his hand. Mr.
Desdunes hir; also the distinction
added to his many accomplishments
of writing three musical comedies—
“Buster Brown,” that was produced
here some years ugo and that proved
to be quite a success when presented;
“A Georgia (’amp Meeting,” another
of which a company was formed and
was produced and played to many au
diences throughout the Pacific coast
and made quite a hit. He also wrote
and produced the musical comedy, “A
Camp in Columbus.”

LARGE AUDIENCE
GREETS RABBI COHN
Pilgrim Baptist Church Filled to Ca
pacity Sunday Afternoon at Weekly
Meeting of N. A. A. C. P.
An audience of 700 which taxed the
capacity of Pilgrim Baptist church
greeted Rabbi Frederick Calm of Tem
ple Israel w'hen he arose to speak on
the Ku Klux Klan last Sunday after
noon. Henry W. Black presided.
Business mat’eis were postponed. Mr.
Black stated object of meeting und
called upon Rev. John Albert Wil
liams to introduce Rabbi Cohn, who
delivered substantially the same
strong address against the Ku Klux
Klan which he had given a week pre
vious before his own large and influ
ential congregation in Temple Israel,
a report of which was published In
lest week’s issue of The Monitor. In
concluding Ids address which was fre
quently interrupted by applause anil
was an excoriation of the prejudices
whieh sunder and divide men, the
speaker said that the purpose of such
meetings was to influence those in
authority to forbid the introduction
into this community of an organiza
tion which violated the fundamental
principles of Americanism and fo
mented strife and hatred when the
time demanded fratoroalism and love.
He was given an ovation at the closr
■ ii in. add
a mil l out enective address in wind
| he predicted that this organization
would quickly die, but that other
igencies to suppress minorities would
arise and have to be met. He urged
his audience to bo on the alert for til
I .anti-libera) movements and immcdi
| ately to communicate with the author
i ities to demand their suppression. He
I stressed the fact that the true liberal
| is the man who is opposed- to all
I forns of oppression, whether it be by
i the Polish Roman Catholics against
the Jews in Poland, by Belgians
against the natives of the Congo, by
England against Ireland or by the
strong against the weak anywhere.
Mr. Ed F. Morearty, who had an
engagement which prevented his re
maining, is to be the special speaker
at some subsequent meeting.
