PARIS CITY ZOO GOING TO RUIN (By FREDERIC K. ABBOTT) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS, April 18.—The few lonely animals that are left in the Paris Zoo still have to find a new home unless the municipality is willing to donate a few hundred thousand francs to replenish the cages and put things in good order that have been uncared for since 1914. M. Fernand Laurent, Curator of the Jardin d'Acclimation, reports to the Paris City Council that his zoo is a zoo in name only. He has but a few animals and those of ordinary species found in any city of importance. "The Winter Garden," says M. Laurent, "which was built to be warm in Winter and cool in Summer, is neither one nor the other. It will take at least one hundred thousand francs to put this famous resort into shape. The Palm Court is now only a court. The glass roof is minus. It rains inside as well as out. The palms and ferns have long ago died or frozen. The Bird Gallery is almost non-existent with only two birds of paradise which I had hoped would breed only to find that they are both males." "The Aquarium has become the Bear Cave. I have three bears installed there, but they are old and toothless. We are at present finishing a pool for a hippopotamus but I haven't the least idea when we'll get the hippopotamus. If, before the war a swan could be purchased for one hundred and fifth francs and today costs three thousand five hundred francs, what will a hippopotamus cost?" In M. Laurent's report to the City Council he states that it would be better to turn the entire Zoo into a park, tear down the buildings and make walks and flower bed and benches, leaving one of the buildings standing, and convert it into a theatre, making it free to the public.

Walker, Manager THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA BIG TIME PROGRAM AT THE CALIFORNIA Another "big time" combination vaudeville road show and feature picture program opens tomorrow at the California theater. In fact, tomorrow's bill is one of the best of the entire season, it is said. Several acts noted as topliners are featured. The most noted is Jack Levey and the Four Crowell Sisters, offering one of the clearest musical acts ever seen here. They play practically everything in the way of a musical instrument, featuring saxophones, trombones, cornets, piano and violins. Anaheimers are strong for musical acts anyway and this particular offering is far above the average. Grace and Frank Demont have a nitty act entitled "nonsealities." Their act is snappy throughout, with lots of pep, and they have the reputation of keeping their audiences in constant uproar. Julius Fisher, "The King of One String," is sure to come in for a large share of the applause. His act is very entertaining, and comment from other cities where he has been featured has been nothing but excellent. May McCrea, the noted "Female Al Jolson," has a laughing act that is a positive scream. Everyone knows Al Jolson, famous Winter Garden blackface comedian, and Miss McCrea's impersonation is remarkable, it is said. Busse' Dogs, direct from their engagement on the Orpheum Circus, offer a real novelty. Their miniature canines do everything that any dog can possibly do, and more. It is a dandy act. The feature picture on this program is the famous Florence Vidor in her wonderful picture "Woman, Wake Up." Supported by a cast par excellence, Miss Vidor does the greatest work of her varied career. The story is splendid, and the entire fabric of the story is interwoven with decided heart interest and romance. MEXICAN UPHEAVAL (By International News Service) AVALOS, Ohioahua, April 18.

Wallace scored the former Santa Ana City Council for ignoring his quest for negotiations on the shipment through the harbor of its 1,000 tons of water pipe for extensions to its water system. Wallace declared that not even the courtesy of an answer to his communications had been received. Arrangements were made by the council to ship through San Pedro, despite the fact that perhaps $2,500 total carrying charges might have been saved the city. Wallace says that free yardage and wharfage are given shippers. As soon as practicable the proposed C. C. will make a bid for lumber shipments, which are possible in craft of light draft. Preliminary to the obtaining of shipments, plans will be laid at Thursday night's meeting for employing a permanent secretary who shall become technically expert in carrying costs of all kinds affecting the harbor and San Pedro harbor. This will be the principal duty of the permanent secretary when he becomes qualified. When in need, advertise in the Plain Dealer.
