Laugh Market Gets
Bearish At Peoples
Buttons anchoroed to home ports
with anything less than the best grade
of brass rivets or steel cable, have a
delicat tenure of office next Monday
and Tuesday at the Peoples Theatre
where The Four Famous Marx Broth
ers are doing in “Animal Crackers,”
something fifty million rib racked lov
ers of comedy believed impossible.
They've made a talking and musical
picture that takes up where “The Co
coanuts” left off, and ends with the
last survivor being carried up the aisle
by force, three strong ushers, and
well—who is your favorite escort to
the “booby-hatch?”
The story is something about a
stately and socially proper hotsess.
with a house party on her hands at a
palatial country estate. A big game
hunter, just back from an African ex
pedition, his secretary, and two va
gabond musicians engaged to attend
to the musical appetite of the guests,
is the business assigned Groucho, Zep
po, Harpo and Chico Marx, respect
ively.
They arrive simultaneously and
with their usual hurricane momentum
at a time when the festive gathering
is being diverted by a butler weigh
ing just a fraction less than a half
ton, a feud between the hostess and a
rival matron over the authenticity of
a fine painting, and more pretty girls
in lingerie and bathing suits than
most revues boast. You understand
what we mean by pretty when we say
Lillian Roth heads the feminine tal
ent.
In addition to the Marx Brothers
and Miss Roth, the cast presents Mar- i
garet Dumont, Louis Sorin, Hal
Thompson. Margaret Irving, Kathryn
Reece, Richard Greig, Edward Metcalf
and The Music Masters.
Oh-yes, fans who got such a big
series of “moments” from the antics
of Harpo and Chico with harp, oboe
and piano in their first monkey piece,
need experience no temerity in ap
proaching the new “animalshi” crack
erjack. Musical burlesque has a bag
play, and the talents and tunes are as
refreshing and diverting as before, al
ong new lines.
“Love In The Rough”

“Love in The Rough,” which will
come to the Peoples Theatre as a new
M etro * Go Id w yn - May e r offering, is a
picturizatfon of the stage musical
comedy, “Spring Fever,” by Vincent
Lawrence
The production is of particular in
terest in featuring Robert Montgom
ery. whose rapid ascent to film popu
larity has resulted in rumors to the
effect that he will be starred in his
next picture.
Montgomery, a juvenile of the New
York stage, made his film debut a
year ago in “So This Is College. He
followed this by playing oppsite Joan
Crawford in “Untamed,” then serving
in a similar capacity with Norma
Shearer in "Their Own Desire.’ His
success sent him up the ladder swift
ly. his most recent roles being in
“Sins of the Children,” “Our Blush
ing Brides” and “The Big House.”
The feminine lead is played by Do
rothy Jordan, who deserts her erst
while costume roles to. depict a mod

Jn the Paramount Picture “Animal Cracker*”
or for being penniless when he wins
a golf championship.
hTe picture,, filmed almost all out
of-doors, with beautiful scenic back
grounds on fashionable golf links, pre
sents a new form of film entertain
ment, being strictly a musical comedy
yet devoid of chorus intrusion and
other devices and licensc-s of the
stage. It includes seven song hits, the
first contributed to the screen by Mist
Fields and McHugh. These number*
are “I’m Learning a Lot From You,’
“Go Home and Tell Your Mother,’
“I’m Doing That Thing.” "Like Kelly
Can,” “One More Waltz.” ‘Dance, Fool
Dance,” and an opening chorus. The
song writing team arc perhaps best
known for their ‘Blackbird” revue
songs and “I Can’t Give You Anything
But Love, Baby.”
The supporting cast is headed by
Benny Rubin, laugh favorite, who is
paired with Dorothy M N’ulty, “Good ^
News” dancing comedienne. They;
are cleverly teamed and provide n
wealth of entertainment in dialog as
well as in song numbers and general
clowning. Also in the cast are J. C.
Nugent, Allan Lane, Tyreli Davis,
Catherine Moylan .Harry Burns, Ros
coe Ates, Edward Davis and Clar
ence Wilson.

actually responsible for tHb plight
hey are in.
WThy? Bungling Republicanism.
First and foremost, stock speculation
vhich drained the currency of our
■ountry from legitimate business and
drew it to Wall Street on the assur
ance of Coolidge, Mellon and Hoover
that the market rise was due to the
prosperity of the country. With 5
billion dollars in circulation, the loans
to the stockholders on the exchange
was permitted to reach the enormous
sum of eight and a half billions.
The remedy: The Republican party,
thru the Federal Reserve Act could
hav econtrolled the stock market
speculation. Instead, thru its leaders,
it encouraged it. The result was the
ciash and disaster.
Another indictment by the speak
er dealt a'i’.b fycr— tariff. A
special session to Help tne larnier. A
special tariff. Still farm produce
prices dropped. A Republican tariff,
to which 20 nations of the world com

which cut off the farm exports of
our country. A third of our cotton, a
third of our tobacco had been sent to
foreign countries. This trade has been

A special farm relief board in ope

Twenty-nine commissions, and <0.

Utter lack of leadership on the part
of the President while th* nation

without jobs or hopes of work.
A Wickersham commission which
has spent a quarter million dollars
and made one report: That the Pro

everyone knows.
And a dozen other indictments of
similar nature.

has lived to see a hundred parties live
and die. It is the only old party, left.
The Republican party has lived only
since the Civil War. The Democratic
party is based on a principle. The
Republican party was bom of an em
ergency and has lived on because op
portunity and luck has favored it.
Such a party is doomed to failure and
it has been found out, concluded Mr.
Bailey. Democracy has and will stand
the test.
It is the party which will curb
speculation, renew world trade, and
bring back to the country the respect
and friendship of the rest of the world
and prosperity and happiness to its
own people.
