...called "Beauty & the Beast." In this, shapely Lawrene Nevell, clad in breechcloth, brassiere and flowing cape,' did a dance in a lions' cage, flapping her cape in the faces of five large lions owned by a Dallas veterinarian named Nobel Hamiter (see cut). The lethargy of its bestial stooges made "Beauty & the Beast" less titillating than Billy Rose had expected, and it was soon replaced by a "Ziegfeld Milk Bath."

Anthropologists have long suspected that in Japan twins are born less frequently than among whites.

Those thick lips and pug nose of his are becoming the cinematic symbol of brutality...
...ANIMALS. $25 FINE. The "$25" was a bluff, since New York magistrates fix their own fines, usually assess persistent animal-feeders only $3. But zoomen felt their lie was white in view of such zoological mishaps as the following, all caused in recent years by visitors catering to bestial appetites...
