The story Of "Bluebeard" and his
seven wives, which many will recall
having read long ago, is still going the
rounds. The fable appears to have
originated in France, but it has turned
up almost everywhere in the wide
world.

Corporal Lester f. Scott of the
Thirty-fifth company, United States
marines, who is stationed at Charlotte
Amalie in the little island recently
acquired by the United States, writes
as follows Of the people and their be-
liefs:
"On the west shore of the bay lies
a settlement of French people called
ChaChas. These people came orig
inally from the Dutch and French
Leeward islands. They have not
married with the negroes, and they
live to themselves, resenting any out
side interference with their affairs.
'aThey are a hard drinking race, yet
they are the most industrious people
on the island, and are especially good
canoemen. Their boats are long, mar
row affairs made out Of scraps Of
wood. They supply the town with fish
and the women make straw hats that
hnd a ready sale among the negroes.
"They will never rise any higher
than the true beach-comber, because
the race has degenerated, due to in
termarriage in so small colony. With
their ruddy faces, stiff1y starched blue
shirts, tight white trousers and broad
brimmed hats, they present a curious
and unusual appearance.
ION the crest of two of the three
hills of Charlotte-Amalle nestles the
famous old castles of 'Bluebeard' and
Blackboard These are the two places
of interest on the island. The old
buccaneers were alike as two peas in
their habits. but the castles are In
no way similar. Bluebeard's castle is
the more massive and is separated
from Blackbeard's by distance Of a
half-mIle. After the death Of the
two pirates, a secret tunnel was found
connecting the two castles.
cit is reported that II was through
this secret tunnel the two exchanged
the women they had captured on
ships"

Damrosch Gives Special Holiday
Concert for YOUNGSTERS

Many children stopped playing with
their Christmas toys yesterday morn
ing long enough TO attend the concert
by the New York Symphony Society at
Aeolian Hall. There they became ac-
quainted with the various members OF
the woodwind family. MIR. Damrosch
had chosen attractive pieces to illus
tratc the activities Of this interesting
family. NJ. Matthew played Rouse S
solo "En Vendee' for oboe, and Mr.
Mario Bottesini the haunting melody

never forgotten.
OF course, the soft, complaining

and bassoons and clarnets contributed
their share to the general hiarity @.
the occasion. An ideal illustration OF
the combined activity of woodwind in
struments was the schcrzo from Men

Many Locks Being Put on Doors
at Cornpeigne and Guard

PARIS. Dec. 27.-The recent fire in
the old royal palace at Cornpiegne has
caused the Department of Fine Arts to
take precautions against further fires
or thefts in Frances state palaces.
Many locks are being placed on the
doors of the Compiegne palace.
Reservoirs and tanks have been built
on heights near the Versailles palpces
to guard against fire. The carctakers
and guardia are being trained in first
aid to their charges, and their rounds
have been increased in number.
New precautions against robbery
have been taken at the Louvre since
the recent theft of a necklace. The
interior courts will be kept lighted con-
tinuously, and the guards lin making
their rounds will carry powerful lamps,
enabling every corner to be searched.
Dogs will be put into service to ac
company the guards in their tours Of

'L'Oiseau Bleu' Is Given
Premiere at Metropolitan
Garden of Happiness which is a part
of the opera.
Forest Scene lmpracticable

Garden of Happiness which is a part
of the opera.
Forest Scene Impracticable
The forest scene was obviously i'm
practicable from musical point of
view and its loss is not felt-though it.,
too. had its moral. What we have then
besides the induction and ipilogue is
the scene in the Land of Memory, from
which we are expected to learn that
the dead are not dead so long as they
live in our loving thoughts; the scena
in the Palace Of Night, from which the
incident of the Punishment of the spec
tres of woman miseries has been elm
mated, apparently to make room for a
stars and other objects of light besides
the myriad of birds take part; the
scene in the Garden of Happiness,
whence We learn of the great
and little joys, chicfest of which
is matcral love, are for the hav
ing BY poor and rich alike; the
scene in the cemetery, in which the
fear of death is dispelled and Tyltyl
tells us that there are no dead; the
crowded incidents of the Kingdom of
the Future, with its childish inhabi-
on the voyage of earthly existence.
The same, frankly, is as unsuitable
for opera as the same in the woods
which has gone by the boards and the
device of symbolizing the products of
human inventiveness which are to
come by moving machine-blt (as-
suming that to be the thing and it's
purpose) which draws an ugly mark
across the picture, is as futile as it
is inexplicable and disturbing to the
sense Of propriety and beauty.
Orchestra Does All Singing
SO much for the erbal and dramatic
structure of the play How has NJ.
Wolff clothed it with musical integu-
ment? In the prevalent operate man
ner. The orchestra does all, or nearly
all of the singing that is done-that
is it supplies all of the melody. This
melody is intermittent in it's flow 1t
disappears ever and anon, to give way
TO Swallows and bed of sand dotted
with chordal rocks which suggest
pitch to the voices which dec aim the
Worrs above the instrumental strain.
Sometimes the speech falls into gra
cious melodic line: always, however. it
is hampercd by the orchestral
current.
For the dizziness and contrivance of

acknowledgements rather than
piquancics--in Mr.. VOLTS harmoniza-
ton and an easy flow, if not distinc-
ton, in his melodies.
Uses Musical Symbols
He has used musical symbols, but
has not abusively intrudcd them upon
the attention of his listeners. So far
as we could judge he has not attempted
the difficult task which we limited at in
the early part of this hurried and i'm

ophy of the allcgory by musical devices.

(purely by suggestion, not because of
likeness) to Gluck's music in the
Elysian fields of his "Orfeo," and there
is an occasional flavor of French song

fall pleasantly into the ear, though
they lack dramatic cloquence, as we'll
