Roxanne

Visitors who go to the Baltimore Zoo looking for tigers will discover a pacing cheetah and a memorial sign. Fasier and Roxanne, Siberian tigers who have been favorites with zoo-goers since 1988, are no more. The tigers, 16-year-old siblings, were euthanized because of health problems. Zoo officials say they have no immediate plans to replace the tigers, which are on the endangered species list. For the first time in more than two decades, the zoo does not have tigers, by far one its most popular exhibits through the years and a mainstay attraction at major zoos across the country.

With its bracing green-mountain locations, there's no great romantic farce better suited to the open air than 1987's Roxanne, which unspools at 8:30 tonight at the Abell Open Space (300 block of E. 32nd St. in Charles Village). With Daryl Hannah in the title role, this inspired update of Cyrano de Bergerac, written by its star, Steve Martin, and directed by Fred Schepisi, leaves the same kind of amorous afterglow that Splash did. And it has a breezy literacy all its own. The filmmakers stick closely to the story of a gallant man with a harlequin's nose.
