to ask what course latter day cap

ambitious IDEAS about the after

rather to her trsiring in Spain, a

heart. Born ,hera. as a cub she had
acquired certain subtlety of touch
about feline fiirta..ons. Besides. she

known to sharpen woman's sensi-

to Mr.-Hagechach le Germany. There

she was nov only six years old and
saw his great beauty for the first

How did she know but what "tha.
German hussy," as she called her to
herself, would act in the same man

AS for the German lioness, she
treated her jealous mother-in-law
with complete indifference. The truth
is that she was much too occupied
with her suitor, who fairly forced his
attentions upon her. In fact, it may
be said that Ackbar's courtship was

Matchmaking at Central Park Zoo

/ at present. Ackbar ought to be the
father of four or five fine cubs some
time in August"
There is, however, only one ques-
tion which remains unsettled and
disturbing How long win Ackbar
remain true to his wife? She has
now pleasant. happy expression on
her face; it is to be hoped that she
will not treat her cubs in the un-
natural manner that Miss Fulton
adopted and that her mother-in-law
so greatly deplores.
But regardless of how admirable a
mother she may be, Ackbar may b.
come bored. The situation is similar
to the one confronted by the German
girls in the Rhineland. Lions, and
Ackbar is one, are known to be borl
Ihilanderers. Might he not fall for
the charms of some frivolous Amer
lean girl? AS with some humans,
lion marriage certificates are issued
with divorce coupons attached. When
viii Ackbar tear off his coupon? Or
will his new wife beat him TO it?
Much more depressed than the
zebra is or ever could be even in
his moments of widest grief is the
yak. The yak is an animal that
makes of chronic melancholy an art.
He is a bachelor and sour. His ap-
pearance and attitude are a warning
t., all men who are approaching that
state known as bachelorhood. If any
man is so depressed that he feels
that he could never become more SO
all he has TO do is to observe the
yak. That animal has achieved a
greater degree of depression than
any man could hope to attain. And
choly will have an immediate and
enpfvening effect upon the observer.
Wolves Are All Bachelors.
There are other bachelors beside
the Yak; the wolves are all unmar-
ried gentlemen. AS they quarrel
among themselves they have to be
kept separated. 1t is a pity that
they cannot seem to cultivate the
equable disposition of the sheep. But
tbo former are wolves and the latter
are sheep and there is a difference
between them.
There are no marriages among the
monkeys at the zoo because monkeys
are in reality of a very conventional
turn of mind and refuse to get mar
ried away from their homes. Give
mo the jungle" say they. "or give
me death to the race!"
The same rather old fashioned
attitude has been maintained con-
ssstehtly by the polar bears.
To the chimpanzee at the zoo, how
ever, the state of celibacy holds no
terrors. Unlike most of the animals
there. who were born in captivity,
he was picked up by a sailor some
where, who later sold him to the zoo.
When he is taken out of his cage
he throws his arms most affection
ately about the keepers neck, and
kisses him on the face. Hi sexpres-
sion says, really it's awfully good
Of you to take me out I appreciate
it tremendously and love you a great
deal But it's rather embarrassing
with all these people; perhaps you
h"d better put me back"
In spite of its many drawbacks,
the married state among the animals
has its economic advantages. For by
matchmaking among the animals
the zoo has supported itself. Last
year it sold over 1000 pounds of
wool and 100 lambs. besides the
many young animals that it did not
want.

Nationality Should
Not Enter Theater
Art, Say Coburns
Declare Actor Should Play
Any Part for Which He
Is Suited.

Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Charles Coburn.
who are appearing in THE Bronx E&-
press at the Astor Theater. believes that
there should be any such thing as ma
tionality in theatrical art.
s"If an actor wants to play certain
part there Is no reason why he should
not play 1t. no matter what the nation
ality of the character might be. so long
as his ability and physical equipment
are adequate" says Mr.. Coburn. ''Be-
fore played DaviG Hungerstolts In

Jewish part except Shylock. Was that
any reason why j should not attempt
to play Hun0erstolts merely because
happened to be a Gentle? Does an
actor have to be a Moor in order to play

Then you do not see any incongruity
in a Gentle playing a Jewish part?' he

Mrs. Coburn. But as a matter OF fact.
neither Mr.. Coburn nor I has even

production. We have never been in Eng
land except as visitors. Both of us are
more vitally interested in American
plays than any other sort. II was the
intensely American element in Bronx
Express that appealed strongly to Mr..
Coburn and me-"
MRS. Coburn and I are tremendously
interested in the development of theat-
rical art in this country" said Mr..
Coburn earnestly. Revolutionary and
evolutionary events are going to take
place in the American theater during
the next few years. Other countries are
beginning to look TO this country for
leadership In the theater. There has
never been a time in the history of

THE main thing to remember in taxi

every atom Of concentrated effort into

are sustained by attempts to resist a
fall by stiffening the whole body than
by anything else.
"Of course IL is impossible TO catch
yourself in a fall of any distance upon
