CY DEVRY, ANIMAL MAN, Tells
ABSORBING TALES OF FRIENDS

Cy Devry's audience at the chau-
tauQua Tuesday night may have lived
on a farm when 1t was young; or Wis
tied a good many ZOOS or rubber
neck expositions; or read dozens Of
animal books, but 1t Is a safe guess
that no one failed to learn a lot OF
things which he didn't know before.
Interesting from the polar bear pit
to the African porcupine and on down
the length and breadth Of Lincoln Park
Zoo, was his lecture, given to one OF
the largest crowds OF the season.
While showing a series of slides of
famous wild animals in captivity in
the United States the speaker told the
most absorbing tales imaginable about
the animals; their habits, natures,
skins, food, care, native haunts, pop
ularity as zoo animals, and fierceness.
1T is not the wild animals that the
keepers are afraid Of. but the pets
that We play with for years some
times, before they will strike at US.
I played with a pet bear for fifteen
years; would go in his cage every day
and tussle with him, and one day
when I went in the cage he flew at
me and would have killed me. You
hear people talk about wild lions,
but / am not half as afraid of lion
as of a tiger or male elk.
"Lion Is Not King"
"A lion is not the king of beasts
The tiger has third again as much
strength; while the male elk when its
horns are hardened is the most feroci-
GUS animal in captivity. We had an
antelope from India at Lincoln Park
who would not even allow his mate
to come inside his fence. He killed
anything that came in.
There are Is varieties Of seals, but
only three kinds of sea lions" tho
speaker said. He explained that many
people believe enormously that the fur
used in coats and scarfs comes from
sea lions. Instead their fur is totally
useless and Is not saved If the animal
dies.
I'm the United States there are only
three double horned rhinoceroses now
TO be found. Two are in the Bronz in
New York and the other in Lincoln
park ZOO They are worth from six
to nine thousand dollars" said the
speaker.
The snakes in Lincoln park are only
few every three or four months, and
De Vry said he had regal python
from India who did not eat for 8
months. He conceived the idea Of a
snake-feeding machine, and with the
help OF 20 men, who held the snake
in the face Of death should one OF
them lose his grip, they fed him ham
burger from a sausage grinder until
he was full. Both slides and motion
pictures of this operation were shown.
Snakes Must Battle.
Snakes have to have baths, just as

ture of the artificial coil incubation
process used by the snakes when they

Sapho, the monkey, and how she
raised her young by spanking them
when they were bad and kissing them
when they got good, and then simply
correcting them with a severe look
when they grew up and did not act
according to monkey rules and regula-
tons, made big hit with the younger
people in the audience, who always
find the monkey the most interesting
animal of the zoo.

OF BIG AUDIENCE

A regular kid" who after she was
through with her own performance in
sisted upon watching Cy DeVry's mo-
ton pictures through hole, was little
Miss Alice Shrode, II years old, who
appeared Tuesday afternoon and even
ing at the chautauqua, making her
second season in Richmond.
Everybody liked this little girl who
possesses a bright face, a shock OF
close bobbed yellow hair and who wore
charming little corduroy plated
frock. She is not the typical spoiled
important child-reader who sulkS al
her parents and gives the audience
the impression that "she knows it all'.
Nine months a year Alice is in
school. The ten weeks of summer
from the day school closes until the
day before it opens Alice keeps en-.
gagements with chautauqua platforms,
and she has never missed one nor been
late, she says, in the four years she
has been doing 1t. That's some record,
as stage manager Bentley will agree.
When Alice returns to school this
fall she will be in the eighth grade.
She has visited Is states and numer.
Gus towns in each one.
Program for Children.
Tuesday afternoon Alice gave eva

enunciation is clear and spirited. She
does not falter but gives color to her
performances.

In the evening she gave with gusto

it with a whistling solo and dance.
For the benefit of the front row
children she gave Riley's Little
Orphan Annie" I've Got a Pain in
My Sawdust," and Riley's Here's the
Way You Look" Everybody includ-
ing the oldest grown-ups appreciated
her efforts. however.
Baby Brother and "a Boys Re

program, the latter receiving a storm
of applause.

There are million laughs and
thousand CYCLES in the five reels.
She is mistaken for a runaway girl
who is about to marry a crook, be-
cause the bell-boy brought her the

with "upstair," in the borrowed finery,
she is trailed by detectives, escapes,
fights the crook when he finds her
after following her as his fancee
because of the dress she wears.
Altogether she has a great time.
The father of the clipping miss offers
$4,000 reward, and is about to pay it
to the detective whene his own daugh-

of the bungling sleuth. So she is

MURRETTE.

Everyone was fond of the dog, yet
tnere was something queer about the
animal. They dubbed him Socrates,
until they learned to know him better.
Inc dog came into prominence on
the William Fox lot at Hollywood,
Calf, when the Gladys Brockwell pro-
duction THE Divorce Trap" was be-
ing filmed.
Scott Dunlap, then assistant direc-
tor, adopted Socrates the moment he
laid eyes on him. But the next morn
Ing Dunlap seemed to have fit of
generosity as he presented the dog
to Camerman Granville Granville
felt more than fattered, yet
the next morning Socrates became the
property of Frank Beal, the director,
and on the following morning Beal
gave him to Miss Brockwen. Within
twenty-four hours the dog was in the
possession of William Scott leading
man in the picture. The next morning
the dog was not in evidence, but that
evening. when Scotty Dunlap arrived
at his home, he found Socrates tied
to his front gate.
About week later, the truth came
to light, 1t appears that Socrates had
been trained to sit in a chair and
join the family at the dinner table.
If this privilege was denied him, Soc
rates had way of snarling and be-
ing intensely disagreeable. So now
Scotty is trying to find some kind
soul who is willing to entertain a
dog at the dinner table.
THE Divorce Trap" is now being
shown at the Murrette.
MURRAY.
Marcia Manon, one of the most pop
ular of the Famous Players-Lasky
actresses, recently travelled all the
York to play the leading feminine role
in John Barrymore's new Paramount
picture, The Test of Honor" which
will be shown at the Murray theatre
Thursday.
Those who have seen Miss Manon on
the screen will never forget her. Not
only does she evince rare personality
in her manner and facial expressions,
and in the way in which she dresses
her hair and wears her clothes and
jewels, but in every minute gesture
Marcia Manon expresses her individ-
uality.
In Cecil B. DeMille's "Old Wives
for New" Miss Manon had a splendid
opportunity to display her artistic
taste in clothes and jewelry. She be-
gan her screen career as an extra girl
in one of Mr.. DeMille's productions
about year and a half ago, and since
has made an enviable place for her
self in motion pictures. She had
large parts for herself in Stella Mar
is" The Sunset Trail" The Girl
Who Came Back" and many other
we'll known pictures.
