cry of pain. I believe they are trying to domesticate the lion in America, — especially for films and circuses. This is better, but a tame lion looks tame. The Metro-Goldwyn trade mark would feed out of your hand !
Lions were better treated, and made more convincing in that much slated film The Wizard of Oz, with Larry Semon. They were beautiful beasts, and there were several excellent close-ups.
Bears and tigers are never given their due. But again, they are of uncertain temper, as is also the leopard.
Camels again are overlooked. Their attitudes, many of their habits would commend them both for comic and serious films, but one only sees them occasionally carrying i\rabs. Some goo.d pictures of an elephant appeared in the Desert Healer w4th Mr. Walter Pidgeon, in which he was most effectively ^'killed'', but this is the only elephant part I remember having seen. Zebras and kangaroos would be excellent, provided they were studied, but the only thing so far has been a film with zebras in a chariot.
Sealions, beloved of circuses, which can be very highly trained, and would be excellent for comedy, or childrens' (or for that matter adults') educational films, but strangely, nobody seems to have thought of them as yet. Monkeys, having been plentiful, have been done both badly and well. There was one very well treated in an earlier Harold Lloyd film, and also some good studies of a cat looking for its kittens. Some close-ups of this cat's face were taken, and the expressions were marvellous. I wonder why more animals are not treated
