...Symphony invited Iturbi to guest-conduct it in a concert in Lewisohn Stadium. Eagerly he agreed, for there is one musician in the world whom he idolizes: Arturo Toscanini. An audience that filled all but the extreme end seats turned out to see what this black-haired, electric little maestro of the piano bench could do with a baton in his hand...
...Yowsah," the "old maestro" mumbled to a CRIMSON reporter, as he attempted an unsuccessful clasping of his collar button in the bedroom of his suite at the Statler last Tuesday afternoon. "Yowsah, times have certainly changed.

Last week Philadelphia's blond-mopped maestro tried a new move, exalting the engineers whom once he had scorned. In front of his dais on the Academy of Music stage a control desk was set up, with a maze of wires leading from it to the wings.

S. flag. He was a bright red flea with black, roguish eyes, much larger than most male fleas. Few of his admirers knew that Paddy was not an Irish flea: he was found on a German sailor in Hoboken. Last week Dr. Heckler exhibited his fleas in Carbondale...
