Schubert, who suffered last year at the hands of the Orchestra, is now resting in peace. Two movements of his Third Symphony were played Tuesday, and in the Trio of the third movement the Orchestra again achieved that lilt which comes only with practice and perfection. The Frescobaldi, an orchestral arrangement of an organ toccata, also showed the fruits of much careful rehearsal.

Readers who hope to recapture the lilt and flame of flapper days will find themselves staring at the clogged ash trays and unwashed glasses of the morning after...
