Mdzart's Overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" opens this evening's concert by the Boston Symphony in Sanders Theatre. Following this delightful work is the Brahms Concerto for Pianoforte No. 2 in B flat with Artur Schnabel as soloist. As an artist, Mr. Schnabel is always the servant of the spirit of the music as well as the absolute master of its performance--a eulogy which cannot be applied to many.

When Pianist Artur Schnabel announced that this year in Manhattan he would play the 32 Beethoven sonatas, skeptics shook their heads, wondered how even Schnabel would dare to challenge a public with a dose so tremendous.

Examples: "No hurry, no precipitation," "avoid all restlessness," "serious, somewhat gloomy, always arguing...
Young Grass. Previous tests on the nutriment value of cereal grasses, said Dr. C. F. Schnabel of Kansas City, Kans., were misleading because the grass was too old. Dr. Schnabel took tender, young shoots of wheat, barley, oats, rye, ground them to a meal tasting like malted milk powder, found its food value two to five times greater than spinach, carrots, lettuce or chard, its vitamin content up to 50 times greater. Hens fed on this meal laid twice as many eggs containing fivefold as much Vitamin...
