Going back behind the first books
men have found that the rabbit was
regarded as a sacred animal by widely
scattered people all over the world

never. so far as we know, heard Of
Easter. had their feast of the Great
Hare. or rabbit. and In the sixth cen

habitants Of what is now England had
been Christianized. the hare or rabbit
is said to have been sacred TO Ostara,

Going over to Asia we find that the
rabbit still holds It's place as sacred
animal In China and all the other
countries where the religion of Buddha

down on the surface of the earth look

nothing. Finally the rabbit saw the
hungry god and felt sorry for him.
Going up close. so that Buddha could

the sale for his last appearance at the

out any other figures to go by, 1 venture
to say this is the largest first day sale
on record for any actor Or actress. The

scene of an almost equally surprising
sale. The ticket sellers actually became
embarrassed with the money. The bills

danger that can result from a break. At
