Jibbs and the Beauty

I made this photo to my Facebook timeline cover yesterday. The photo was first published in National Geographic, May 1938.  The original caption read:

"Jiggs, Simian Movie Star, Rehearses With 'The Jungle Princess.' The setting, on a tropical island, is for a scene in the new Paramount picture, Jungle Love, starring Dorothy Lamour..."

Sadly, the caption continues that Jiggs died shortly after filming completed - I omitted that unfortunate detail when I wrote the Facebook description.

You know, I always cried at the end of King Kong...
