Top: Jackie Cooper, Eddie Bracken, Kay Stewart and Leila Ernst, the four young principals in "Life With Henry" (a Henry Aldricb yam ) , get acquainted with Madeleine Carroll's amiable lion cub, "Safari." Above: Martha Raye does one of her hot dance specialties in "The Boys From Syracuse." Right: Alexander Hall, who worked out so well as Loretta Young's director in "The Doctor Takes A Wife" that Columbia hired him again to direct her in "He Stayed for Breakfast," chats with Loretta.
