LEGION REMODELS
COLUMBIA HALL
By E. W. McGowan.
The remodeling of Columbia Hall,
recently leased by Roosevelt Post No.
30, is rapidly nearing completion.
This beautiful building will house the
“Community Center” as well as all
Legion activities.
We are sure that the numerous
ways in which the Community Center
will make itself indispensible to the
public—with the same “spirit of
gratitude”^will the intelligent public
receive it.
Dedicatory plans are well under
way, announcement of which will be
made in the near future. In strict
adherence to its basic principles, the
above project is just another of the
many ways that the Legion proves
to the public that “In peace, as in
war—we serve.”
THE M (
CARL DITON'S RECITAL
FURNISHES MUSICAL TREAT
Versatile Artist Deliver! Delightful
Program Which Pleaie! Large
and Appreciative Audience.
Local Talent Assiiti.
Carl Diton, president of the Na
tional Association of Negro Musi- \
cians, who was presented in a piano |
recital at Pilgrim Baptist church j
Thursday night under the auspices of
St. Philip’s Episcopal church, delight
ed the audience, which comfortably
filled the main auditorium. He fully
sustained his reputation as the most
versatile musician of the race. Not
only did he show himself a master of
the piano, but also of the pipe organ
and is the possessor of a rich, res
onant, well-trained, baritone voice.
Mr. Diton prefaced each number
with brief explanatory remarks which
were instructive and helpful in the
better understanding and apprecia
tion by the audience of the great
masterpieces rendered. Mr. Diton
has a most pleasing personality and
a radiating friendliness which brings
him at once en rapport with his aud
ience. He completely won and held
his audience from his opening num
ber, Chaconne in D Minor by Bach
Buzoni, and held it throughout until
it closed with a brilliant rendition of
the difficult overture in “Tanhauser”
by Wagner-Lizst.
Responding to a request Mr. Diton
sang with wonderful expression and
sympathetic interpretation “Evening
Star” from “Tanhauser” by Wagner;
the Negro spirituals, “Stand Still,
Jordan” by Burleigh, and “Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot,” his own com
position. He gave an organ numbers j
by Charles Widor.
Miss Dorcas Jones, of whom our !
race in Omaha can be justly proud, !
sang in good voice and with fine in
terpretation, “Until” by Sanderson,
and “Vale” by Russell. Miss Cath
erine Williams was pleasing as her <
accompanist.
The hope was expressed by those
who heard Mr. Diton that upon his re
turn from Europe he will give an
other recital in Omaha.
Mr. August M. Borglum, the able
and well-known musical critic of the
World-Herald publishes his opinion
of the recital, which is as follows:
MUSICAL
An interesting piano recital wasj
given by Carl Diton, president of
)NITOR
the National Association of Negro
Musicians, at Pilgrim Baptist church
on Thursday evening, under the aus
pices of St. Philip’s Episcopal church.
The program consisted of Cha
conne in D minor by Bach-Busoni;
Scherzo in E major, Nocturne in F
sharp major and Polonaise in A flat
major by Chopin; Sonata in B minor
by Liszt and the Overture of “Tann
hauser” by Wagner-Liszt.
Mr. Diton showed himself a musi
cian of fine discrimination and in
telligent conception of his works.
The variety in the selection of his
numbers made possible the presenta
tion? of many moods, with beautiful
tone effects and brilliant technical
displays.
By request Mr. Diton gave a very
lucid performance of the Toccata in
F major by Charles Widor, on the
organ. He also sang three numbers
with artistic feeling, his resonant and
musical baritone voice being well
suited to the “Evening Star” from
“Tannhauser” by Wagner-Liszt. The
artist was eminently successful in
his rendition of the Negro spirituals,
“Stand Still, Jordan” by Burleigh,
and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,”
harmonized by himself.
A few very appropriate remarks of
historical value added to the interest
of the program and the Overture
from “Tannhauser” made a fitting
climax to an evening which was much
enjoyed by a large audience.
Miss Dorcas Jones, contralto, sang
two numbers, with a rich, deep voice,
absolute sincerity and clear enuncia
tion. She was warmly applauded and
accompanied in a sympathetic style
by Miss Catherine Williams.

SPEEDING UP IN INDUSTRY
Washington, D. C.—To the thou
sands of colored wage earners it will
be interesting to learn that in Ameri
can industrial plants the output per
man is now about 35 per cent greater
than it was before the war, according
to a statement recently made by one
of the nation’s leading financial au
thorities. It is claimed that this re
markable increase in productivity is
due not to speeding up workmen, but
to the introduction of scientific meth
ods of management which have
brought about improvements in ma
chinery and processes, elimination of
fatigue, reduction of waste and high
er wages for workmen.
