telling Magistrate McAdoo that the

to make the ballets inofYensive. The two
dances In question were "L'Apres-Midi
dun Faune' and 'Scheherazade.' Not
only the dances themselves but the de-
scriptions Of them in the programmes
came under the censure of the critics.
The programmes describe In some de-
tail the sensations Of the faun as he Is
aroused from a reverie on the rocks by
the coming Of a band of nymphs, who
dance around him until his wooing
drives them away In fright. one leaves
q veil. which the faun takes to his rock
and falls upon. II was agreed that the
animal like postures OF the faun and
his handling of the veil should be
