NUMA Our front cover this month is graced with the noble lineaments of Numa. internationally famous lion, recently deceased. This lion, a product of the great Cay Lion Farm, was brought under the influence of gentle treatment and Mrs. Cay, who personally looked after him, said that he and his friend and playmate, Slats, were the two lions of all she ever saw that had no hatred in them. Numa was the best known and beloved of all lions who worked in the movies. Shirley Vance Martin, who shot this still and who photographed Numa many times, said that this lion was always shot in the open with no bars between himself and the still man.
