Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. In Lakeside Park there is a need for policemen who can climb trees, swing from limb to limb in order to put a stop to the horde of monkeys that have been stealing various affects from residents. Photograph appears with the article, "Thieving Monkey Horde Chased in Vain by Cops," Los Angeles Times, 31 Mar 1936: 10. The monkey crouches on top of a table, using one paw to reach into an open lunchbox. Text from negative sleeve: 4742 - Here's one of the monkey thieves now terrorizing Lakeside Park caught in the act of looting a lunch basket. The monkeys steal anything they can get their hands on.
