FRENCH ARTIST
 OF I H [ VIOLIN
 COMES MARCH ]
Jacques Thibaud to Play Under Contract with
 Musical Club

Jacques Thibaud celebrated French Yiolinist, will be the next attraction on | the program of the Musical Events club and will appear here next Wednes day evening at the Grand theatre. Among representatives of the French school Thibaud is without rival. His repertoire embraces practically the en. tire scope of violin literature. Fol some time Thibaud played violin by Carlo Bergzoni, but he is now the pos seSsor of even a finer instrument, a rare StradVarius, once the property of Ballot.
 Max Smith, in the New York Ameri can, recently wrote:
 MT. Thibaud's Interpretations Were charged with grace and poetry In Lalo's Symphonic Espagnole,' he play ed with vitality and imaginative appeal under the dominating influence of fine firm rhythm. Technically, MT. Thi- baud was without a blemish. His ef- forts convinced his hearers of his mas. tery of the violin and his remarkable and alluring variety of tone-color."
 Thibaud was born in Bordeaux in 1880. He studied first under his fath- CT, and then at the Paris Conserva- toire, where under Marsick he gained a premier priX. To supplement his modest means he played at the Cafe Rouge, where he was heard by Edou- ard Colonne. This famous conductor promptly offered the young violinist an orchestral position, and soon there came an unexpected chance to appear as soloist. So popular did Thibaud be- come that he played no less than fifty four times at the ColOnne concerts in single season.
 His fame in Paris established the yiolinist visited other continental cit ies, and finally America, his first tour in 1903 winning him prompt recogni- ton. Since then his standing through out the musical world has been stead fly enhanced and today he is accorded place among the foremost of contNu poraneous violinists. His second wis it to this country was during the sea son of 1913-14. A third tour, booked the following season was delayed by the outbreak of the war Thibaud's military duties were of hazardous Character and he acquitted himself with credit. His injuries were serious and his recovery slow, but his recent concerts in this country have shown that he has lost none of his wonderful ability.

D o Injustice To
 Y.M.C.A. Worker
 By False Rumors

Several rumors have reached the secretary of the Young Mems Christ ian association to the effect that an impression prevails in the communi " in connection with the recent fi- nancial campaign that c. F. Coyken. dale. director of the campaign, re. ceived a large percentage from the receipts of the campaign for his relative to the campaign are as fol lows:
 Mir Coykendale is directly em- reau of the Y. M. c. A. organized un- der and directly responsible to the international committee with head quarters in New York, and has not and will not receive one cent of the money raised in the campaign. The association, however, paid his ex- penses while doing the work, con- sidering this a legitimate part of the campaign expense.
 This statement is made to ermove any wrong impressions that may have become extinct in the Warren dis. trict relative to MT. Coykendale's ser. vice. An able piece of work was ac- complished under complex and ad- verse conditions, and the success of the campaign not only speaks vol umes for his ability for directing same, but also for the splendid gen. erosity and determination on the part of the people to support the work of the Y. M c. A. and the standards which represent the work, as a part of the community life of the city.
