The cell may then sicken and die. If it is a cell in the reproductive germ plasm, a mutation or hereditary change may occur...

Artur Bodanzky will be the first-night conductor, but a new conductor has been engaged, Portuguese-born Maurice de Abravanel, and an old one re-engaged, Richard Hageman, who will be on hand to direct the U.
