yesterday afternoon with the members Of

whom he is now making a tour Of this
country.
Mr.. Toscanini is one of the few con.
ductors who are equally effective either
In the opera or in program Of abso-
lutte music, and one Of the even emaller
number of conductors OF his nationality
who understand the Importance Of inter-
preting the architectural beauties Of n
symphony and its relation to the emo
tional content. His program was eX-
ceedingly diversified. but the maestro
was equally familiar with each Of the
five different idloms employed by the
composers represented. This was one Of
the most amazing features of the con-
cert and Il was almost impossible to
say which Of the five works was the
best done. He opened with the A minor

latitude in the matter Of the tempt. but
gave thoroughly satisfactory reading.
There were several points In which he
departed from the traditional interpre-

From Beethoven to Debussy is q

complished IL perfectly. The Images"
were superbly played with all the re.
fnemcnt and poety which characterize
the leader of the modern French school
at his best and with great regard for
the atmosphere and orchestral color
tints which belong to Debussy alone.
Especially fine was the treatment Of the
percussion Instruments. which were
made a part Of the ensemble and never
allowed to intrude. The Respighi num-
ber. a new one to Philadelphia, was
exceedingly Debussy like In the softer
passages but much more vigorous In

Come Along, Mary

Come Along, Mary evidently
was put together by the composer
writer with the sole object OF afford
ing entertainment in the way OF
Iaugh-enforcing situations, plus jokes
and cross -conversation, interspersed
with plentiful supply Of singing ana
dancing. The audience at the Grand
last night saw the point and did not
fail to respond to the bait held out,
although it was cold to the finer
points-the singing Of the soprano
artistic and the attempts of the barry
tone. But the rough and tumble wit
of the two principal comedians, Eric
Cook and Kenneth Christy, won ap-
plause from pit to dome. The must
cal farce was superior to. many of
the offerings showing at a top price
of one-fifty; scenery and costumes
were standard and the dancing was
liberal in display.

and Head Noises
Tells Safe, Simple Way to Treat and
Relieve at Home.

If you have catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises caused by
catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your
throat and has caused catarrh of the
stomach or bowels you will be glad
to know that these distressing symp-
toms may be entirely overcome in.
many instances by the following
treatment which you can easily pre-
pare in your own home at little cost.
Secure from your druggist / ounce OF
Parmint Double Strength). Take
this home and add to it II pint OF
hot water and a little graduated
sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day An
improvement is sometimes noted
after the first days treatment
Breathing should become easy, while
the distressing head noises. head
aches. dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.
should gradually disappear under the
tonic action of the treatment. Loss
Of smell, taste, defective hearing and
mucus dropping in the back of the
throat are other symptoms which
suggest the presence of catarrh and
which may often be overcome by this
efficacious treatment. 1t is said that
nearly ninety per cent. of all ear
troubles are caused by catarrh and
there must, therefore, be many
people whose hearing may be re-
stored by this simple, home treat
ment.
