GORILLAS SEE A FILM.
Moina and Mok, the recently-arrived pair of young gorillas at the London Zoo, showed their lofty indifference to man's idea of entertainment when the talking picture, "Congorilla," was shown to them in their cage. Although men and women delight to watch the antics of other men and women on the. screen. Moina and Mok were frankly bored by the antics of filmed gorillas. Moina declined to watch them at all. Mok.glanced occasionally with a puzzled expression at the screen ae if to say, '"This doesn't amuse ine in the least," and seemed more interested in the antics of learned scientists who stood outeide in the rain to watch for "reactions."
Mok seemed, indeed, to -be relieved when the film stopped, and it was once more possible to study the human species undistracted. !
