Since then. Zip, who haf been raised ai any child would be. has become a sen&tion as a moving picture, television, a n d night club per former. K . c. U p r b a r a S t q w a r t The thing that makes Zippy so unlike other chimps is not only his high degree of intelligence but also his acts, which do not consist of the ordinary \monkey-shines ’ The Ec uyers have taught Zip to do almost everything a child can do. He walks on two feet, eats politely at the table with the rest of the family, swings on a swing, skates expertly, plays tag. and cun be taught to do almost anything with a few days notice. However. Zippy’s fine upbringing doesn’t keep things from poppin? whenever the young chimp is around. Once, while rehearsing for Ed Sullivan’s ‘Toast jof the Town. Zippy fell in love with Ray Bloch, the orchestra leader. When per formance time rolled \round. Zip went into his act; then, right in the ! middle of Ills dancing and without j warning, the impulsive chimp took I off with one leap and landed smack 1 dab in the middle of the orchestra leader's arms. Although Zippy may do some un expected things at times, he usually comes through with what his act the others in the ’tournament are\ calls for. Zip has appeared daily fot the Freeport All-Stars, Mineola K i- | three years on Howdy Doody, Is on wanis, Lynbrook A.C., Oyster Bay, j ’\Captain Safari” every Saturday j Freeport Lisbeth Kennels.

Among the many features of Zip’s night club act is a bit where he picks a girl (usually a pretty one) from the audience and has a game of tag with her. When Zippy's not working, his home life is by no means dull; the active chimp amuses himself, as would any child, with many dift ferent activities. When he’s not getting into the ink or medicine cabinet or pushing Parker \21 pens into the floor, he plays with his toys, has fun in the back yard, splashes in water, or. best of all. watches television, especially the fast-moving, exciting westerns. Some people might thank that a | chimp would have trouble making himself understood - but not Zip; he s got a different sound for every important idea like \Tin hungry” or \ I want to go to bed.” (He sleeps I from twelve to fourteen hours each night and eats more than the ave rage human.)
