the performer with a fistful
of technical challenges. Miss

not all of them. Most of the

There is still room for techni-

the Mendelssohn's technical

over, the whole had a labored
aspect which kept the COM

The rest of the program, con-

cital repertoire, suffered, no
doubt, from the hours of prep

ranged from a tentative slip in
Busoni's "Wachet Auf" trans

control "Well-Tempered Clav-
Ter" Prelude, to a dangerously
tottering Berceuse and, finally
a G minor Ballade that plunged

Mr. Gilels played it as if it
were a masterpiece, building
the closing vivace to a ire

Perhaps the most affecting
music of the entire afternoon
came with the first encore,
Schumann's lovely Arabesque.
Here, at long last, Mr.. Gilels
succeeded in capturing the
poetry he had been reaching for
throughout the recital, and
these few minutes were quite

Emil Gilels, the fine Soviet
pianist who was the first
artist to play in the United
States under the exchange
agreement way back in 1855,
returned to Constitution Hall
once again yesterday afternoon.
There was a time when
United States music-lovers
wondered why the Russians
should send over a pianist so
little known in the Western
world as was Mr.. Gilels six or
seven years ago, but those
days are gone forever. His ap-
pearances on this side of the
Atlantic have won him many
American partisans, and he has
conclusively demonstrated that
he is an artist of considerable
stature.
Yesterdays program was on
the austere side, with Mr.. Gilels
offering relatively rarely per-
formed sonatas by Mozart and
Prokofieff enclosing the
familiar Beethoven Appassion-
alta. The three works gave him
ample scope to exhibit many
facets of his art, however, and
unless my memory deceives me,
the 1862 Gilels is a much
different pianist from the
brilliant, letter-perfect techni-
clan who was on view here in
previous concerts.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Smoker Gets an Ulcer
By DR.. PETER J. STEINCRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: NV
husband has an ulcer Ind it
has flared up. He smokes CT
CARS and he doesn't think
doctors refer to cigars also,
when they advise patients to
stop smoking. I really don't
mind his smoking, because I
don't think I could live with
him if he had to stop. It
would make him nervous and
ornery. But please tell me
the truth about cigars and
ulcers SO I can quit worrying.
Mrs. C.
I WISH I COULD resolve
the old problem: (Which is
better Cor worse), pipe, cigar
or cigarettes?" It's all COM
plicated enough without even
considering the effects of
chewing tobacco, which is not
to be disregarded, either.
How bad is your hudband's
ulcer? How long has lie had
it? Has he been operated
upon? How many cigar5 does
he smoke a day? All such
queStions-and many more
are important before anyone
can supply the answer you
seek, Mrs. c. You can't treat
any patient by the book. In
other words, what's good for
one may be very bad for an
other.
Personally-having smoked
cigars, cigarettes and a pipe
in my time-I really can't I'M
derstand why some say it's
all right to smoke a pipe or
cigar - but stay away from
cigarettes. I don't believe it
has been proved that CT
garette paper exerts a bad
effect on the stomach lining.
Tobacco is tobacco, no mat
ter how you smoke it.
The main reason I tell pa
tients not to smoke if they
have an ulcer, is that smok-
ing increases the acidity of
the stomach contents and
this is bad for ulcer. Too
much acid irritates it and
prevents healing. However,
when the patient insists that
he can't or won't stop, that's
his privilege and choice. I
don't believe in shooting him
out of the office and refusing
to take care of Linn.
I have known many ulcer
patients who did all right for
many years even though they
persisted in smoking
whether it was cigarettes, CT
gars or pipe. But they had
one thing in common: They
cut their smoking down to a
half or a quarter. Believe it or
! not. contrary to what you
may hear-it's possible to cut
down on smoking even If you
can't cut it out entirely.
