Teaches Monkeys, Birds and Flies to Act for Photoplays Erpous Authority on Animals Tells How he Traim V'ilm Stars on Stages Ranging From Size of Postage Stamp to Forty Feet Square. By TARLETON WINCHESTER

New York (Special) When an animated film weekly starts out as a "Celluloid Newspaper as the novel "Paramount Xewspictures" has fust done, it is not hard for the journalist to imagine the difficulties with which its editor-in-chief will have to deal in obtaining the proper report orial assistance. The layman will appreciate what has already been accomplished in this respect when it is stated that among the associate editors of the first weekly Film Pictorial Magazine are such men of letters and rational repute as John A. Sleicher, J. R. Bray, the famous cartoonist. Roger W. Babson, the noted statistician, and such organizations as The Popular Science Monthly and the Ladies' World and the announcement is now made from the New York office of

Snyder, 'some villain.' The goose registers entertaining conversation, and when Mrs. Trumpeter turns her head, slyly steals a necklace from the drawer. The bird opposite sees the theft, and demands that the goose return the jewels. There is an attempt at fight, but the trumpeter hods on until the arrival of Husky. Then the curtain. "One of the first experiments was the impersonations by monkeys to reghter moods of the human race mirth, rage, despair, and sorrow," Mr. Ditmars continued. '"These have been filmed to portray such enormous faces that to the spectators looking at the screen the effect will be much as the ogre appeared to the youth in "Jack the Giant Killer.' "But the monkeys have progressed in rehearsals, and in the porcupine we have found a real film star. In mon-

key drama- we have taken real scene, and the principals have flirted, held hands, and spooned in the most approved, fashion. We even tried 'Cinderiila,'

the important film factor, that Raymond L. Ditmars, the roost celebrated authority on animals and reptiles of the day and curator of the greatest zoo in the world at Bronx Park, has aided his name to the staff. Mr. Ditmars is the man who successfully takes motion pictures of every variety of animal, from monkeys, birds and flies to porcupines, snakes, and iguanas on stages ranging from the size of a postage stamp to forty feet square. It is at his special studio and .laboratory t Scarsdale where, according to him the Ditmars College of Dramatic Arts, is now open,' that he accomplishes bis strange feat and it was there that he told the present writer something of how he docs it. ' p-c are now taking many unique, aV I feel justified in adding, wonderful pictures of the inhabitants of the Zoo, which will be at: the sole disposal of the Paramount Pictures Corporation through ray school of acting.' Mr. Ditmars said.. "We believe that our films will be a great service to science and that they will be an amusing and instructive boon to grown-ups and children who see them' in the best theatres throughout the United States at which xz jungle stars will appear with Mary A&ford, Geraldine Farrar, Dustin Farnum, Anna Held, and thoe leading r players of stage and screen whose photoplays are produced for Paramount by the Famous Players. Lasky, Morosco, and Pallas Companies. "Our student' have been gathered from the four corners of the world, but their attendance is not voluntary.

but that was too much of an attempt in the present state of the art in the Zoo." The second successful play put on at Bronx Park was "The Great Marathon. It showed the exciting scenes attending the arrival of the smaller animals for the great jungle race. For this scene mo?t elaborate scenery was prepared and much care had to be taken in teaching the animals what not to do as well as what to do. For instance, it took a week alone to prevent the Humboldt's sake from interfering with the tame iguana, and to teach the blue fur monkey that it must not try to climb the scenery. Along the course were side shows, refreshment stations, and the other adjuncts of a country fair. Fully 100 varied participants in the scene struggled furiotifdy for victory. In this connection it is well to state that not even the ttage manager was able to prevent the excitement of the scene from communicating to the audience in the grandstand, and toward the end the more excited spectators .would climb the grandstand railing and enter the race. "Two great difficulties had to be overcome in this scene," said Mr. Ditmars. "One was to get all the contestants off when the monkey started firing the gun and the other to distribute handicaps so skillfully that the swiftest would not race ahead of the less speedy. Each detail had to be worked out, and each animal having a 'speaking' part had to be trained. It required four months' steady work before the camera man was called in."'

emotion of the animal world, and on the

Rialto. would be called a born actor. ''After waiting the best part of a week to get a few feet of film showing several monkeys playing a real game of hide and seek, we figured out that it would be much better to spend the time wasted in waiting in teaching the animals to do just what was wanted. "Meeting with success in teaching the monkeys several easy tricks, we decided upon a more serious effort; i widening the scope of the teaching we also admitted other species to the classes. The next were the trumpeter birds. It took two weeks before 'Trumpeter's Romance' was rehearsed well enough to start the camera Th? scenario for this playlet was written by Snyder, though 'designed' would be a better descriptive word. The scene represented a living room. .In a chair at a table sat the husky trumpeter. (Husky is part of its real name.) In a rocking chair was the white-backed trumpeter. "Mr. Trumpeter, that is. Husky, yawned and registered leaving a good home to go out to the club. Exit Husky. There comes a knock at the door, and Mrs. Trumpeter flops out of the chair to the door.

"The children will he delighted with what has been recently done," said the new associate-editor of the novel Paramount Celluloid magazine. "While the work of my dramatic school is Viot strictly scientific, it will be a . great value in promoting an interest in animals among children, to say nothing of grown-up folks. I am attempting t- do with the actual subjects what Kipling did in the Jungle Tales, for the benefit of the enormous motion picture public which is so fast learning that the mountain trademark of Paramount is the guarantee of quality." Snyder .waited until Mr. Ditmars walked away. "Gee !" he said, "ain't the Professor great. Why he's that much in earnest that he tried for a week to get the peacock to take the part of Cleopatra. These are great days in the park with the dramatic bug flying about Who knows, he may ask the keeper to play blood hounds while the chipmunk Eliza escapes over the ice. Say! Art is great."
