ing the superb Philadelphia Sym.
phony Orchestra last night at
Constitution Hall.
Reviving the tradition which was
the rule up to Beethoven'S time,
Iturbi also directed the orchestra
from the piano bench in playing
Beethoven Concerto No. 8 in c
Minor" Perfect coordination be
tween the soloiSt and the orchestra
was apparent throughout the en-
tire work. At times Iturbi used
q baton, at times his left hand
was free while the right was en-
gagged at the keyboard, but more
often a nod of the head indicated
to the orchestra the beat.
His renowned poetic phrasing
and conSummate skill lost no bril-
lance in the division Of his atten-
tion between the keyboard and the
orchestra. Even with such fin
ished results, many there were in
the audience that felt they would
have enjoyed the concerto more
If another had conducted the or
cheStra, CHASING the performance
more as a stunt. AS a conductor,
Mr.. Iturbi succeeded in trans
ferring his rare artistic tempera-
ment to the musicians of the
orchestra. While the Wagner
excerpts from "Gotterdammerung'
and Tristan and Isolde" may at
times have seemed to move slowly,
the exquisitely beautiful tonal
qualities of the orchestra more
than made up for it.
The Debussy "Fetes," and the
dances from "The Three Cornered
Hat" (de Falla), proved more
amenable to his conductorial dis
position, captivating the audience
in even greater manner than had
the previous orchestral numbers.
Following his solo as well as after
the orchestral works, Mr.. Iturbi
was recalled time and again to re-
ceive the homage given in a most
lavish manner by his auditors.
In view of the fact that the
Lyric Theater, in Baltimore, was
sold out for this same concert
Wednesday night, it seemed odd
to see so many empty seats in
Constitution Hall.

"Marche Slav" is descriptive Of
the events surrounding war be-

Serbia called upon Russia for aid.
The entrance of Russia is depicted
with the use of the Russian Ma

In the plebeian hamburger steak,

cal science finds a valuable ally
in treating obesity, diabetes, and
disease coming from an excess of
insulin.
Experiments proving all this
were made upon students, by Dr..

CATION.
Just why hamburger, a sample
of high protein diet, should be
beneficial in counteracting over.
weight and diabetic conditions is
a tricky secret. Lean meat or any
other high protein foods produces
some sugar, called glucose, within
the body. But they produce and
liberate glucose sugar into a patti
ent's blood stream slowly.
Sensible Supply
Consider a piece of digested
hamburger as a sugar maker at a
steady, slow rate. It gives the
patients blood a tiny but very
regular supply of glucose or sugar,
permitting the blood to burn up
the sugar as a fuel at a sensible,
comfortable pace. There is not a
glut of glucose which cannot be
handled by the body.
In diabetes and perhaps in
obesity, said to be a predispoSing
condition of diabetes, it is most
undesirable to have too much
sugar hurled into the blood at
one time.
Carbohydrates and Sugary and
Starchy foods act differently,
throwing a heavy charge of glu.
