Hardcover. Zustand: USED_VERYGOOD. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (decorated by) Kay Little (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [quite a nice copy, laminated photographic boards (matching the dust jacket illustration) with just a bit of wear at spine ends; jacket is a little edgeworn, with minor paper loss at top of spine]. (B&W photographs) SIGNED by author F.M. Christeson at the top of the half-title page, above an illustration of an elephant. Photo-illustrated "biographies" of numerous animal movie actors, with individual chapters devoted to: Anna May, The Elephant; Colonel, The Leaping Tiger; Jackie, The Wrestling Lion; Eckie, The Leopard; Gertie, The Jaguar; Jalmers and Jockamo, South American Pumas; Jiggs, The Chimpanzee; Mary, The Rhinoceros; Oscar, The Penguin. Among their human co-stars pictured in the book's many photographs are Buster Crabbe, Johnny Weissmuller, the Our Gang kids, and Edna May Oliver. (In my opinion, the photo of the latter attempting to converse with a penguin justifies the whole book.) There's a fair amount of space devoted to the various animal trainers as well, especially Olga Celeste (referred to in the text as "Madame Olga"). Signed by One Author.
