JEANNE CRAIN KNOWS
Tough to Raise Babies?
Try Bringing Up a Lion
Hollywood u.H The way to bring up two babies, Jeanne Crain
reports, ii to keep a lion around the house for a while.
Child-raising is a cinch after that.
Sounds a little dangerous,
maybe. But mama Crain insists
it's solved all her problems.
"She broke us In on baby
care," she says. "We mixed her
a formula and gave her a bottle
every four hours. We also
found out all about vitamins
and cod-liver oil and cutting
teeth.
"So, when Paul Jr., and then
Michael came along, it was a
breeze. We were used to hear
ing a baby cry at S a. m."
The only difference, Miss
Crain's neighbors will tell you,
is that the baby lion's "cry"
sounds like a death call straight
from Tanganyika.
Shah-Shah, her name was,
and she was a gift from Miss
Crain's husband, Paul Brink
man, who seems to be a lot
braver than most movie hus
bands. For almost a year this play
ful 200-pound critter ruled the
roost at their fancy hill-top
mansion. Then she took to hid

Jumping out at the neighbors.
"She wasn't a bit dangerous,"
Miss Crain said. "Oh, now and
then she'd bat a chair to splint

Just the same, the neighbors
didn't warm up to the idea. May
be they didn't realize the Brink
mans were cutting their parental
teeth on Shah-Shah. Anyhow,
they called the cops.
They pointed out that Miss
Crain's household pet had "play
fully" kicked the sides out of
her cage. She also tackled
people, they said.
"But she was sporting about
it," Miss Crain protested. "She
always backed up and waited
patiently for them to get up off
the floor so she could do It
again."
"They got a citation out
against me," Miss Crain said.
"Something about keeping a
dangerous beast In a residential
area, so we gave ahan-anah to
i zoo.
"People," she added sadly,
'discriminate against lions.
They're filled with old prejudices."
Last week Shah-Shah had a
birthday and Miss Crain took
time off from 20th Century-
Fox's "Pinky" to take her a

woodworking plants involved in
a wage dispute with AFL mill
men have resumed operations
here. The 50 union men were
