Show Moving Picture Animals. A jungle of several acres, inhabited by wild animals of all countries, many o. which are already well trained for the parts they are to play as motion picture actors, is maintained near Los Angeles by one of the big American film-producing companies. It Is intended in-tended to extend the acreage and accommodations ac-commodations until the motion picture jungle will form the largest single collection col-lection of wild animals in the world, and within it will be, and now are, enacted many stirring scenes. A big elephant named "Toddles" is, for instance, in-stance, the star performer In a film catalogued as "Lost in the Jungle," in which Toddles, during his wanderings In the forest, finds the heroine lying exhausted on the ground, and, kneeling, kneel-ing, lifts her to his back and gallantly carries her to safety. All the animals are as conscientiously trained to do acts for the motion picture camera as , are the trained animals of a circus. |
