DON'T WONDER DON'T WORRY CAlLOTOCESlTiE By ED SCHOENFELD Tribune Staff Writer roos). They scattered to the far reaches of their enclosure once the gal began singing This Ole House. Snow decided to play Freddy Martin's old rendition of the Piano Concerto. It was half over when one of the wallabies hopped toward the record player. He would inch himself closer to the music and then hop back.

Finally he got alongside of the machine and began clapping his paws to the music. The five others, convinced there was no enemy in the "box" and their own flesh and blood seemed to enjoy the sounds, hopped into the open and formed around the phonograph. Wallabies appear the real long-hair type music lovers. They prefer listening to shaking, dancing or yowlingalthough that hop of theirs might make a terrific new dance step. The spider monkeys showed Snow they could take it or leave it alone.

Sid tried everything, including Li-berace, and all the monkeys would do was sit there and scratch themselves. Others, such as aoudads and emus, were curious about all the noise, but they seemed more content passing the time of day in quest of food or sunning themselves. The aoudads, African sheep, were frightened once Snow started to play the Naughty Lady of Shady Lane. They put down their horns and stampeded about the fenced-in area. Sid played Crosby doing White Christmas and one of the sheep made a couple of passes at the phonograph.

He got up behind the player, but that was all. Even Bongo Bongo music didn't phase the Africans. The white deer were the most indifferent of them all. They wanted no part of Snow's test. a THE king of the beasts is a sucker for the mambo.

Merely crank up a phonograph, toss on a mambo record and it'll amaze you to see how a 300-pound lion can suddenly become a real gone hep cat. Try that Mamma Loves Mambo thing. First, the lion will cock his head and yowl as you've never heard one before. Como, Crosby, Fisher, Sinatra? Wait'll you hear this guy go. Then, he'll grab the wires of the cage with his immense paws, rear up on his hind legs and swing and sway.

Here's one "cat" who can make a joint shake! But make sure the music has a down-to-earth beat. None of that Let Me Go Lover or Mr. Sandman stuff. Too tame for a wild guy like the lion. Sid Snow, founder and director of Oakland's Zoo, recently conducted a unique experiment.

He tested the animals reaction to music. As a result, he found many animals appreciate music -once they've had a chance to hear a wide variety in their own surroundings. Snow placed the phonograph inside the cages in most cases. Rosebud, the chimpanzee, went daffy over the tunes -kicking up her feet, clapping her hands and truckin right along in true jitterbug style once Snow found music to her liking. Rosie turned a deaf car to Melody of Love.

The sound seemed to intrigue the animal, but it was easy to see it didn't "send" her. So Snow next tried Shake. Rattle and Roll. That did it. Rosebud broke into a smile and carried on like a teen-age rug-cutter.

Seeing that the lion and chimp appreciated live jive. Snow tried it on the wallabies (junior grade kanga- T-a.
