The birth of litter OF lions at
Haslemere Park, private menagerie
In England, leads one of the English
papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that Is notori-
GUS among those who interest them
selves in the study of wild beasts IN
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion, tiger and leopard cubs born IN
that country have a CLEFT palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to their
premature death. But beyond this,
more astonishing fact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biolcgists-is
that which determines that OF all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.
So well known is this to professional
showmen and mena gerie keepers that

NO" she replied; "but great,

a revival of the light and sparkling operetta
that so popular some thirty or forty years
ago. The action takes place in the days of the
regency Pichon, the court jeweller Of Louis

to high mass and secure orders for the somore'
cumbersome jewels of that period, finds his
customers deserving him. Times have changed

girl, from whom he is about TO separate The
chevaIier walks into the jewellers establishment

promises that should ever her husband prove
unfaithful to her she would forsake him ana

wife into temptation.
Pichon falls into the trap. little suburban
villa--'La Petite Maison'-is provided by the
chevaIier. and grand fete is arranged there at
Pichon's expense. There is high play, grand
suppers fine wines and the rest. The hapless
jewelle~ half intoxicated. is easily duped by an
inpostor who at the chevaliers request i'm
personates the Regent. who makes him all sorts
Of promises At last Pichon is presented to
La Para bere, the mistress of the Regent, who
is impersonated by Pichon's wife, the
beautiful Gabrielle, who, convinced of her hus-
bands inhdelity with Florence is about to fall
into the arms of the chevaler In very clever
scene the wife takes off her mask and dscloses
her identity to her husband. Both husband and
wife, who have all along really been true to each
other, explaining matters and finding that all
has been done IN the interest Of business. mutual
forgiveness ensues The real Regent turns up,
and. being amused al the episode, gives Ptchon
the court custom, and so all ends happily.
This light, fantastic tale is embroidered with
bright and spirited music Fugere sings and
success, and Nine. Marguerite Carrie is exceed
ingiy attractive as Gabrielle. Altogether, La
Petite Maison, in which passages of dialogue
without music at first somewhat surprised the
audience, is the most amusing Of the light
