FRENCH VIOLINIST
CHARMS AUDIENCE
Thibaud, Who Comes from
War. Soloist With Ph la
delphia Orchestra
BEETHOVEN, MOZART
NUMBERS INCLUDED

Again did the Philadelphia Orchestra
last night delight at the Playhouse. II
was the third concert OF the season
and the soloist was jacques Thibaud,
a Frenchman who has stepped from the
war trenches to the concert platform.
That his playing pleased the large au-
dience was very evident, but he was
content 10 give only one extra number
despite the generous applause led by
Leopold Slokowski. conductor Of the
orchestra. Thibaud was heard In two
numbers, the Mozart concerto in E Nat
and Chausson's tone "POeme.' The Or
chestrs played the Beethoven Eighth
Symphony and two nocturnes by De-
busy.
There were many In the audience who
hoped that Stokowski would have the
orchestra to play, as he did in Phil
adelphla, The Beethoveh Funeral March
from "Erolca," as a memoriam 10 The
odore Roosevelt, but IL was not given
last night.
The program was exemplary in its
makeup. The Eighth symphony OF
Beethoven in its cheerful vein was
linked In mood with the movements OF
the Mozart concerto. Two nOciurnes
OF Debussy were aptly Joined with The
Chausson "Poeme." The two divisions
OF the p-ogrom thus provided a delight
full yet not an extreme contrast. There
was not a dull episode anywhere.
He would be hard 10 please indeed
who did not enjoy the tripping mas
ures OF the Eighth Symphony as they
were alluringly descanted. Perhaps
the "Allegretto Scherzando" awoke t5e
llveliost sensation Of pleasure.
The two nocturnes OF Dubussy were
greatly enjoyed and the atmosphere
was convincingly projected. English
horn and viola. wOOdwind and brasses
carefully. restrained moved through
a clouded heaven" OF other worldly
beauty in the "nuages" and in the
"fetes" revelry took the place u reve--
ie. The third nocturne "irenes," was
not played last night.
Thibaud, viOlinist. played with dell
cacy, grace and much temperament. He
breathes and sways temperament. So
anxious Is he 20 take up his solo that
he finds II dlflcult 10 remain composed
when he is not playing. He imparis

"Poeme" as II he loved it, investing It
with a moving poetic tenderness. The
orchestra supported him admirably, and
the audience applauded him roundly'
recalling him many times.
