ROSAMOND JOHNSON AND
TAYLOR GORDON PLEASE
LARGE AUDIENCE
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted J. 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.

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.
