FINAL NUMBER IN SLATER HALL COURSE Norwich Audience Hears Artists of Foremost Rank in Musical World. In the concluding=concert of the Slater Hall course, held Friday even- ing, Norwich enjoyed the rare oppor- tunity of hearing two artists of the highest type and foremost rank in the musical world of today. Jacques Thibaud, but newly return- ed from active service on the ¥French front, is a potable figure in musical circles, standing pre-eminent in his profession and a mester of that most delicate and difficult of instruments, the violin. Not alone is his technique faultless and his playing of rare intel lectuality but he possesses a brilli- ancy of execution and a fascinating quality of tone production most re- markable. His playing is character- ized as well by a marked elegance and simplicity. A rare temperament . and fine sensibility -fine expression in the exquisite art of his playing. He gave a performance of ease and flawless pezfection. The Symphone HEspagnol, by ILalo, was rentlered by him in, all its tender- ness and expressive grace. Beethoven’s Romance was besutiful in the extreme and given with great breadth and purity of tone, and the Prelude and 5 Allegro by Pugnani-Kreisler was veri- tably wonderfil in rendition, rich in color and warmth of tone. Wieniaw- sky's Polonaise was equally beautiful. Mr. Thibaud’s audiepce was roused to extreme enthusiasm 'and he most gen- erously responded to the insistent ap- plause by giving two very lovely and delicate pieces as encores. The beauty of tone of Mr. Thibaud’s violin could not but be remarked upon, it being a wonderfully fine old Strad- ivarius. In Wm. Nicolal Schneer, Mr. Thi- haud had a most accomplished . and sympathetic accompanist. Miss Margaret Jamieson, So. inter- esting and welcome to Norwich andi- ences, is a most gifted and attractive young artist and all her perforfance is characterized by a very rare charm. The past year has added a matm'ity and finish to her.playing, that w: ready possessed of much intelligéhice and taste. She produces a most love- ly and velvety tone, at times exquisite in the extreme. Her technique is truly fine and her interpretations are always very understanding. A far wider range is now hers and she has gained in power and poise. Her Schuman pieces were very well nity of having had three evenlngs of the highest and finest in music and of hearing some of the world famous artists of the da; WILL SEND DONATION TO HALIFAX LODGE Local Manchester Unity Odd Fellows Help Along the Relief Work. At the regular meeting of Loyal Hugh Osgood lodge, No. 6920, I. 0. O. F., M. U., in Germania hall on Friday evening the members voted to send a contribution to the Halifag, N. S. lodge. Fred Bentley, the noble grand, presided at the meeting. The call for the state convention to be held February 2nd was read and the following men elected as delegates: N. G, Fred Bentley; Treasurer John Wood and P. S., Joseph W. Wooley. « The following officers were instailed by District Deputy S. S., Sterling Nel- son, and P. G, W. L.

Miéds Jamieson" was forced to respond to the last number with an encore. The decorations, of the national col- ors and flags of the allles were in- tended as a compliment and welcome to Mr. Thibaud on his return to .Amer- ica from the battle front. Evergreen trees were given by Park churé¢h for the stige. The decorations were in charge of Otte F. Ernst, florist.

The maximum rate for the Connecticut River section of the state has been fixed at 15 1-2 cents a quart| by the Connecticut food administrator. This rate is now in force. Just why discrimination is shown between the eastern section and the central section of the state is not quite clear to lo- cal producers.
