...Manhattan, Pianist-Conductor Jose Iturbi opened the Lewisohn Stadium season with a meticulous rendering of Beethoven's Egmont overture. As usual, old Adolph Lewisohn, who built the Stadium, made a sweet, fumbling speech in which he announced that, besides Iturbi, Willem van Hoogstraten and Eugene Ormandy would lead the New York Philharmonic-Symphony.
