Movie Monkey Is Well Paid
Hollywood reports a chimpanzee named Jiggs earns about 110 dollars daily for film work while enjoying quirks like kissing women and “Wrap Em Up” as the day ends. His career spans six of nine years since birth in the Belgian Congo, including time with Dorothy Lamour in Her Jungle Love, and he remains paid yet philosophically wary of money. Meanwhile reports from Nanking describe Japanese forces pressing the city with bombardments and a looming demand for surrender to Chinese General Tang Shen-Chi, as 75,000 Japanese forces encircle about 200,000 Chinese.
