mind of Mr. Selig, v^as due to cheat its sister studio of its laurels. Beginning quietly by the purchase of a great acreage beside beautiful Eastlake Park, Mr. Selig added $500,000 to his expenditures in the single move. Then the Selig menagerie began to make itself known, first in wonderful pictures, next to the general public. The animal inhabitants increased until, with more on the way from the jungles, there is a rare collection at hand at present costing $264,000.
India collaborated with the "Dark Continent" and the jungles of South America in complying with this latest fad of the film genius, until the Selig Zoo is a crazy-quilt of animaldom. More than two score lions roar within the great enclosure. Nine enormous tigers, fourteen panthers, jaguars, a dozen leopards, a pack of wolves, four pachyderms, a pair of inquiring giraffes, water buffalo, sacred cows, Russian boar hounds, yaks, zebra, bear, sloth, and fifteen camels add to the merriment about feeding time.
Then there are animal acts which run into fortunes ; trained ponies; Sultan, the highest priced nag which ever pranced and performed for royalty or the public ; vari-colored cockatoos and other jungle birds. To attempt further details along this line would involve unnecessary space.
With this modest groundwork, Mr. Selig already has his million-dollar studio and Zoo under construction. Animal cages of solid concrete; administration buildings, offices and stages of artistic design; band stands and printing rooms — all will lend attractiveness to the Lincoln Park of the West when completed in the near future.
