ZACKERY SCORES TRIUMPH

BOWS TO SUPERIOR ABILITY OF
WESTERN SONG BIRD.

~THE FIRST Sunday afternoon
matinee recital presented undel
II the auspices of the Holcornite
Music Exchange, 2169 Seventh avenue
struck a high note of accomplishment.
The artists were Nine. Jesse Andrews
Zackery of Denver, coloratura So
prano: Miss Sonoma Talley, pianist,
and Master Errington Kerr, vioiinlst-
The accompanies were Alfred w. Ross
for Mrs Zackery and Miss Constance
Kerr for her brother.
While the audience was small, it was
ont of the most representatives gather-
incs of music lovers seen in New YORK
during recent seasons. The recital
was held in St Marks Hall, 81 West
13Sth street, which has been newly
decorated and painted and makes
pleasing setting for small concert
groups.
The work of the artists was of the
highest order. The playing of Master
Kerr, violinist, confirmed the im5res-
sion formed from an earlier nearing
that he is one of the most promising
of the young race violinists OF today
He is only 16, but he has acquired eX-
ceptional facility in finger technique
and in bowing, and produces a solid
and pleasing tone Miss Talley, in her
piano numbers, gave little evidence OF
the fact that she had played in re-
cital in Washington, D. c., on Satur-
day night, had been up until late
hour, or, rather, until an early hour
Sunday morning, then, after short
sleep. had caught an early train out OF
the Capitol City to reach New YORK
lust an hour or so before appearing in
this recital. Hers was an exceptional
ly brilliant performance, given with
authority and definiteness.
Mrs. Zackery won favor with her
first number, and this was accentuated
with each succeeding number. NO
singer in rectnt years has made an i'm
preston equal to that which has been
made by this little lady from the Far
West. Rich in temperament, vital IN
color and throbbing with life, her sing
ing is always delight and a joy 1t
may not be out of place to disclose
here a signal honor which Mrs. Zack-
cry has recently won.
She is a voice pupil with oscar
Saenger, one of New York's most dis
tinguished teachers of singing. Re

with Bruce Duffus, who was so
pleased with her singing that he had
her sing later for William Fox, head
of the William Fox theaters, operating
eight high-class houses in Manhattan
alone, and his musical director. Again
she made a favorable impression, and
on Thursday evening, May 4th, was
given a professional tryout at the Au-
dubon theater, Broadway and 165th
street, before an audience that filled
the house from pit to dome. 1t was an
unusual experience.
A colored girl, without theatrical ex-
perience, before an immense white au-
dience, sang the operatic aria, "Un bel
di vedremo," from Puccinis MADAME
Butterfly" in such manner as brought
forth tremendous applause. Two other
songs, "For You Alone" and kiss Me
Again." added to her conquest and
brought long and continued applause,
acknowledged with bows and bows, but
which was not satisfied until kiss Me
Again'' had been repeated. Following
the success of this tryout she has al

New YORK Iime6
Washington. Jan. 24.-The COM
plete victory today OF the Japanese
diplomats In the Siberian issue brings
the end OF the Warrington confer
ence nearer because II checks OF one
more item from the agenda--and be-
cause OF more reasons than that. AZ
soon as the delegation from Toxic
shall have scored similar success
as II no doubt wilton the Manchu-
rian question, 1t Is reasonable to ex-
pect that the gentlemen from Nippon
will release the strings with which
they have the almost achieved results
of the conference tied up.
II Is - rather noteworthy circum-
stance that the conference which has
gone on for more than eleven weeks
has not one big achievement In def
mite, final form. The naval treaty Is n
waiting word from Toxic on Pacific
Notifications: the four-power Pacific
treaty Is still subject TO an exchange
OF notes by Japan and the other three
nations ne to the inclusion OF Japan
proper within its protective clauses:
the all-important Shantung issue
hangs on what concessions Japan will
make In private conference with the
Chinese; the nine-power treaty awaits
largely the determination of just what
Japan will give up to China.
1t has been generally accepted as
beyond doubt that Japan agrees TO
the basic terms of the naval limitation
treaty: 1t IL likewise generally ex-
p"cted that the Shantung issue will
be settled at this conference. 1t seems
rather naive to accept as a mere coin
cidence that the settlement of both
of these major matters awaits word
from Toxic, word asked for long 90,
and that meanwhile the conference
is discussing such questions as Man
churia and Siberia, where the only
issues are Japanese issues. Those who
do not believe this is mere coinci-
dence predict that the naval fortified
ton clause will straighten itself out
as soon as Japan has got by the Man.

question will suddenly some morning

Montreal, Jan. 25.-Study OF Quebec
statutes has just brought to light that
thousands of marriages have been
Illegally performed In this province
during the last 100 years because of
the nationality of officiating clergy
men. The legislature will be asked TO
pass remedial legislation legalizing
them.
An act passed in 1929 provided that
only clergymcn who were British sub
jects could perform marriage ceremon-
les. Since then many clergymen have
come to Quebec from other countries
especially Americans and Catholic
priests of French citizenship. and they
have OBLIGATED at marriages without
