JESSIE ANDREWS ZACKERY RECITAL A MARKED SUCCESS Jessie Andrews Zackery of New York, coloratura soprano, received an ovation and delighted the overflow audience that packed the Zion Bap tist church Monday night. Many were turned away when standing room was at a premium. Many were forced to hear her from the steps on the outside and were pleased to catch the strains of her remarkable voice as it penetrated the air as if by radio. As early as 6:30 p. m. the throngs began to pour into the auditorium which by 8 o’clock was crowded with an appreciative audi ence. Jessie Andrews Zackery, a pupil of Oscar Saenger, has won for her self in America a place in the front rank without regard to race as a most | gifted singer. Her voice is of an extraordinary quality and range. She sings with exquisite musical intel ligence and is intensely charming. Mme. Zackery has a pleasing person ality and possesses unusual poise, grace and dignity. Her winsome smile thrilled the audience and she held the vast audience of approxi mately two thousand spellbound with the rendition of her program of ro mantics, classics and Negro spirituals. Mme. Zackery opened her program | with a group “Nina” by Pergolesi, i “Nymphs and Shepherds” by Purcell, I and “Care Selve” by Handel. Her rendition throughout was flawless. She proved a super master of musical art in her interpretation of “Caro Nome” by Verdi. The grand opera group, “Du bist die Ruh,” Schubert; “Zueignung at the Ball,” Tchaikow sky; “A Dream,” Grieg, showed fine ness of expression and highest merit of voice. “Depuis le jour Charpen tier,” brought the rich tones of her high coloratura voice that took the audience by storm. Her next group opened with that pleasing number “Blackbirds’ Song” by Cyril Scott and three other songs in this group carried her hearers to realms unknown in voice. Mme. Zackery’s last group, four Negro spirituals, “Were You There,” ar ranged by Burleigh; “Hold On,” Hall Johnson; “City Called Heaven,” Hall I Johnson; and “Everytime I Feel the j Spirit,” Lawrence Brown, did so elec ! trify the vast audience that she was compelled to give three curtain calls with her accomplished accompanist, ■ L 1. -1 — —I—I.1—l" . - ■■ 1 """ Andras Lindsay of New York, who is an artist with piano and pipe organ. Miss Lindsay played Etude in C Minor with marvelous technique. So overwhelming was the audience in its approval and deep enjoyment and appreciation of one of the grandest programs rendered in Omaha for many years that many requests have been made to the management to pre sent the young artist in a return en gagement at the auditorium. Mme. Zackery made this her in troductory western tour. She hopes to return to Europe this fall for an other year’s study and on her return to the states will make a general tour. She is a real artist possessing simpli city that enhances her to all who see or meet her. The public of Omaha, Council Bluffs and vicinity demon strated a sense of co-operation that is greatly appreciated by the manage ment who sponsored Mme. Zackery for the benefit of St. John A. M. E. and Zion Baptist churches. -- I The regular monthly vesper serv ice of the North Side Branch, Y. W. C.
