MILD MARCH EVENING
HELPS SPRING FROLIC

For the first time since the enlarg-
ing of the Coliseum, Lexington near
University Ave-, to the worlds larg-
est dance floor, a colored orchestra
played for hundreds of well pleased
people who attended the Twin City
Community Workers Spring Frolic
on Monday night, March 7. The old
as well as the young glided graceful
ly over the highly polished and
CLOSED floor to the enchanting
strains of Clarence Johnson's Night
Hawks.
The committee stated that they
were disappointed by the eleventh
hour notice of Mr.. Alfred Shuttle that
he would be unable to fulfill his en-
gagement to sing. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion of those present that any
interruption with a program would
mar the pleasure of the evening.
Mr.. John J. Lane, owner of the
Coliseum and one of our present
county commissioners, is very much
interested in the welfare of the Ne
gro and was greatly pleased when in
formed of the delightful evening
spent.

F. D. McCRACKEN
MAKES COMMENT
Shows How White Insurance
Companies Discriminate
on Negroes.

In favorably commenting on the
editorial "a Billion Dollar Insurance
Policy" in the last issue of The
ECHO, Fred D. McCracken, Real Es-
tate and Insurance broker and one
of the Vice-Presidents of the National
Negro Business League, stated that
Negroes pay more for their insurance
in white insurance companies than
white policy holders, and they are
limited to certain kinds of insurance.
Mr.. McCracken further states that
there is not a single life insurance
company in the State of Minnesota
soliciting Negro business except on
industrial policies unless the appli-
cant is engaged in professional serv-
ice and then mostly at an advanced
rate. The only life insurance COM
panies writing all forms of life in
surance on Negro risks are Negro
companies at standard rates, but on
account of our limited population
these companies do feel that they
could do a profitable business in
Minnesota.
Mr.. McCracken is the exalted ruler
of the Elks, Gopher Lodge No. los,
and is quite active in church and
civic affairs.

Accomplished Pianist Adds
Greatly to the Success
of Artist.

Mr.. Hayes then stepped forward and
informed the audience that he would
give three numbers for each section
of the Armory.
He gave a short explanatory pro-
toque of the first spiritual which de-
picted the belief of a weary old slave
woman, that upon entering the King
dom of Heaven one would be invited
to "Sit Down." the title of his song.
This he sang with great depth of
feeling and sympathy.
Two other favorites, a beautiful
Pastoral 81 will go with my father
plowing" and "It's me, Oh Lord"
were included.
For his closing number he sang
with great fervor that most impress
sive portrayal of the Saviour's suf-
ferings on Mt. Calvary, "The Cruel
fixion" unaccompanied. 1t proved to
be wholly appropriate for such an
occasion, the first Sunday of the
Lenten season.
No recital of Mr.. Hayes would be
complete without the aid of the ac-
complished pianist, VIM. Lawrence,
who embodies every mood of the
singer in his interpretations.
His exquisite touch and presence
at the piano are those Of great ar
tist and he gives at all times admira-
BILE support to the voice of Mr.. Hayes.

Begins Program With Italian
Number After Absolute
Silence.

Again we were given the oppor-
tunity and sublime pleasure of hear
ing our most famous tenor, Roland
Hayes, the incompatible artist in
concert Sunday evening at the Ken
wood Armory under the management
of Mrs. Carlye Scott.
An audience of four thousand per-
sons greeted Mr.. Hayes and his &C
companist Mr.. Lawrence.
Bowing majestically at the same
time acknowledging the great ova-
ton, the singer then assumed a medi-
tative pose and waited until absolute
silence pervaded the immense audi
torium before beginning a beautiful
Italian aria "Salve Amiche" from
Caldara. The second number of the
group was Eviva Rosa" (Galuppi)
both displaying with exquisiteness
the singers Italian bel canto.
"Nacht and Traume," Rastlose
Liebe" and der Juengling an der
Quelle" three Shubert songs demon
strated loveliness of tone and ad-
mirable German diction. De Bussy's
"Mandoline'' lie Secret of Faure
and Santoliquido's "Errini" were ar
tistically given; it was in these num-
bers that Mr.. Hayes exhibited rare
finesse and gentleness which he has
so thoroughly mastered.

Mrs. Frances Hirsch, Messers B. Mil
ler, L. Jackson, C. H. Miller, James
Lynn and Peavey Johnson, also a
number of chorus girls and soldiers.

college and war songs of the Lincoln
Lions or the more ambitious concert
music the same finesse and mastery
are evident.
The conductor, J. Lawrence Grin
nell, formerly bandmaster of the 10th
U. S. Cavalry Band, attached, and
Bandmaster of the 366th Infantry,
U. S., during the Great World War,
is one of the most widely known band
leaders in the country and no aggre-
cation has proved his ability more
than the Robert C. Ogden Band. The
band is composed of forty-eight
pieces, outfitted with the famous
Conn instruments, is well balanced,
and has won the plaudits of the pub
lie at large and the music critics in
particular almost from its inception.

Roland Hayes Gives Superb Concert Sunday To
A Mixed Audience of Over 1000 Music Lovers

At the close of this group the au-
dience broke forth into spontaneous
applause forcing the singer to re-
spond with an encore. Every one
was more or less familiar with Han
del's, would You Gain The Tender
Creature" which he sang so splen-
didly as an encore in his concert of
last year.
Equally pleasing were "The La
ment of Ian the Proud" and "In a
Myrtle Shade" by Critics. Two other
beautiful numbers were "It Was a
Lover and His Lass" by Roger Quill
ter and La Fuite de la lune" by Slo-
nimsky. The former was sung in
French and showed a marvellous COM
mand of style and diction.
In the Negro Spirituals which COM
prised the last group of mastery
program no one has been able to give
to these songs the purity, religious
piety or bitterness which Mr.. Hayes
displays in his own arrangement of
Little David Play on Yo' Harp"
Great Camp Meeting" arrangement
by Hayes) "Hold On" and II feel
Like my time amt Long," Imbued
with deep spiritual feeling he has
created a background that no one
can excel in tonal quality and man
nerism.
Evidently the great audience was
inspired by sort of reverential feel
ing as they begged for another en-
core at the close of the spirituals.
