Rosamond Johnson, com poser and baritone, and Taylor Gor don, tenor, at Technical High school last Friday night, when these artists gave a delightful program of spirit uals. It was their first appearance in the city. The concert was given by the Women’s College club for the scholarship fund for Omaha high school girls. August M. Borglum, well known musical critic of the Omaha World Herald, published the following ap preciation of the work of these tal ented musicians in Saturday morn ing’s issue of his paper: Due to the courtesy of the Omaha College club, an Omaha audience has had the privilege of hearing an ex ceptional presentation of art at the Technical High school auditorium on Friday evening, in the singing of Ne gro spirituals by J. Rosamond John son, composer and baritone, and Tay lor Gordon, tenor. The art of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Gordon is an art which stands by it self, fascinating because of its ab solute sincerity and freedom of ex pression. It is an art entirely racial on account of its characteristic sim plicity, its decided rhythms, the in dividual quality of tfie voices and the totally free way in which they are handled. Always musical, always sincere, these singers aim to please and they do, in a most decided man ner. The first group, consisting of “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel,” “By and By,” “0, Wasn’t Dat a Wide River,” repeated, and the "Band o’ Gideon,” were all songs of a truly spiritual character and were deliver ed with deep feeling by Mr. Gordon, enriched by the fine voice of Mr. Johnson in secondary parts and his versatile accompaniment. The next three songs, “Joshua Fit de Battle o’ Jericho,” by Brown, “Roll De OT Chariot Along,” and “My Lord Says He’s Gwinter Rain Down Fire,” were full of originality and character. “Stan’ Still Jordan,” was a very dramatic number and the .closing group “Ol’ Time Religion,” “Scandalize My Name,” by Burleigh and “Witness for My Lord,” were given with a great deal of enthusi asm. Among the encores were Go Down Moses,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I See,” “There’s No Hiding Place Down There,” “Maybe You Will Love Me,” “All God’s Children Got Wings,” “Don’t Toucha Ma Garment,” and “Under the Bamboo Tree,” in which the audience joined in the chorus. Nearly all of the selections were opened by Mr. Gordon, Mr. Johnson answering with a subdued voice in contrapuntal style, and also taking a second verse, or singing in duet form, making a most effective en semble. There were the peculiar in flections of the Negro voice, the emo tional ejaculations of the over wrought religious enthusiast and the characteristic rhythms which belong to no other race and which Mr. John son, who has arranged all these songs, understands so well, all of which showed great versatility in both com poser and singers. Mr. Johnson made a big success with his “Lil’ Gal,” sung and played by himself. Some of the selections were full of humor, and with the fa cial expression of the singers became very amusing. Mr. Gordon also sang “Onaway Awake, Beloved,” by Coleridge-Tay lor, and Mr. Johnson’s “African Drum Dance,” No. 1, played by him self, was a weird presentation of some of the rhythms of the African race. The audience was most enthusi astic throughout, and the sincere ap preciation shown helped to makd the concert a great success. AUGUST M. BORGLUM. PROBATE NOTICE N. W.

En tertainment under auspices of the Progressive club.—Adv. MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE ENDORSE COLORED FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU At a regular meeting of the Min isterial Alliance, held at Cleve Tem ple, C. M. E. church, Tuesday, Jan uary 31, R. L. Williams, employment manager of the Colored Free Em ployment bureau, spoke on the un employment situation among the col ored people of Omaha. “It is more difficult to place a col ored man in a job today, than it has been for six years,” said Williams. “Unless these people be given em ployment, it will only be a short time until our Negro business in Omaha will be at a standstill, as these peo ple are leaving seeking an equal op portunity to make a living. There is a great need of closer co-operation between the minister and the layman. Ninety per cent of our trouble is due to lack of understanding between dif ferent groups. If you are to progress in Omaha, you must learn to respect j and appreciate the other fellow’s' opinion,” said Williams. The alliance endorsed the employ- j ment bureau, and pledged their sup port and co-operation in putting over its program. A committee was ap pointed to wait on the business houses j on the North Side, to ask their co operation in placing Negroes in jobs, especially those business houses, who are enjoying a large patronage from our group. On next Sunday morning a special sermon will be preached by each minister to his respective congrega tion on the industrial conditions in Omaha. On Monday night, Febru ary 6th, the ministers and their con gregations will meet at St. John A. M. E. church, 22nd and Willis ave nue, in an open forum to discuss the industrial situation in Omaha. The public is cordially invited to be pres ent. Those attending the alliance were Rev. John H. Grant, Rev. John Adams, Rev. C. H. Trusty, Rev. J. W. Garner, Rev. P. M. Harris, South !Omaha; Rev. W. E. Fort, Rev. O. J. Burckhardt, Rev. J. C. Brewer, Rev. Z. C. McGee, and Rev. L. Hamlet.
