...hullabaloo over the Canadian woman and her offspring. Her name is Mona and she is a 21-year-old chimpanzee. At Orange Park on June 26, 1933, she gave birth to fraternal twins, male & female. The father was an 11-year-old brought from Africa by a sailor. Mona had spent 15 years on Mme Rosalia Abreu's famed ape farm in Havana, was already mother of three. One of her daughters was the first chimpanzee of dated birth and known parentage to mature sexually (at the age of eight) in captivity...

He himself kept order among the overeager photographers. "You'll get all the pictures you want," he said, "so don't get in front of each other and get in each other's way." And again to a man who tried...
...Cigaret me, big boy!" in Young Man of Manhattan. She plays expert ping-pong, likes to speak pig-Latin, dislikes exhibiting her feet. We're Not Dressing (Paramount). This picture may suggest tremendous new possibilities to producers. Stranded on a desert isle, an heiress (Carole Lombard) and a sailor (Bing Crosby) give credit where due by remarking that their situation resembles that outlined in The Admirable Crichton. This is an exaggeration, for Sir James Matthew Barrie did not trouble to put a trained bear, a tame crooner, Burns & Allen and two mercenary Georgian princelings into his play...
