GROUCHO CLAIMS.WE NEED A NEW NICKEL Comedian Has the Theory That Seven Cent Nickel Would Do Wonders Today for This Old World. BV WALTER D. HICKMAN ONCE a famous Hoosier told us that the world needed a good 5 cent cigar and now 7 Groucho Marx has his theory what the world needs. It needs, according to Groucho, a 7 cent nickel and even an 8 cent nickel would accomplish wonders. With an 8 cent nickel, he contends, that we could buy a paper for j three cents and get a nickel back. Just figure out what one could do , with the change if used carefully. In other word; I am trving to tell you that the Four Marx Brothers are with us this week in "Animal Crackers. Right at the start, I give you my idea that here is a corking good show with the Marx Brothers

specializing in their own comedy and with as fine a looking and as talented a girl dance unit as I would want to see. In other words, here is a safe entertainment to buy.

It seems to me that “Animal Crackers" has more class, it looks bigger than other shows these four men have had. This year, Groucho turns loose his opinions on about everything but he specializes in big scenes such as the burlesque upon the king of France. As Grou ch o says while all dolled up

■k

Groucho Marx

in royal state while waiting for Madame Du Barry to appear, "If I am king, then France is in one so and so of a shape." He contends that Madame could as well visit his palace because it is not nice for kings to jump out of third story windows. Groucho has plenty to do but he is letting Chico and Harpo do more than usual. I think that Harpo Marx has one of the funniest entrances in the first act I have ever seen on the ; stage. Not saying a word, he pulls ! off his dress coat and stands in his what of you may call ‘ems. The i transformation is such a shock that he picks up a gun and starts shooting everything in the place. Harpo plays the harp but he seems jto devote more time to getting I comedy out of the piano, following i some interesting playing by Chico. | Harpo is much more serious with I his harp this season, playing only j two numbers although the audience as usual demands much more. It is a wise snowman who knows when to stop. It is wise to leave the audience wanting more and Harpo does that this season. For a background in one number he has the services of the Bofil Filipino band. Harpo is up to all of his old tricks done in anew way. such as getting his leg in everybody’s way. Here is about as funny a man that the stage has and he docs not have to say a w r ord. Chico has a funny scene with Groucho in which they decide to locate a stolen painting by building a house next door and finding the paintjiig there. Here is wild fun but | good. i I believe that if there was any ' more comedy in this show T ANARUS, many of | us would not have been able to last out the performance. I think that | the comedy has been better grouped than usually, giving the dancing

chorus a fine chance to do some great stepping. Os course there are songs, rather tuneful, but it is the Four Marx Brothers who really count. The ballet in the last act is one of great beauty. I believe that you will agree wirfi, me that here is one show that has; a ton or so of wholesome laughs, j good dancing, beautiful scenery and a lot of class. At English’s all week. b a a CONCERNING THE HIT OF HELENA JUSTA Whatever your opinion may be j of the new bill at the Lyric this week, we will agree that Helena Justa and her partner. Charlie, two I colored dancers are marvelous. The Bill Robinson impression of dancing on the stairs of Miss Justa

is about as fine a piece of work as I have ever seen. I generally do not like to see these so-called “impressions" of the work, esp ec i ally the stair dance of Robinson. Up to this time I have felt that his stuff is being stolen. Bu the way Miss Justa does this dance by giving Bill full credit, there is no feeling that she

sion of Robinson I have seen on the stage. Both the work of Miss Justa and Charlie is splendid, especially their impression of "The Ragtime Wooden Soldier Parade." A fine act. Easily the hit of the bill. The Yuong King troupe of Chinese acrobats is a fine organization. Four boys and a girl make up this act. One of the boys is a wonder. Poor material features the act of Bradley and Earle. Frank and Milt Britton's Brown Derby band make an effort to get out of the regulation band routine. Interesting at times. The movie feature is Mae Murray in “Peacock Alley," announced as the talking version of her formfr vehicle. Now at the Lyric. BUB Eddie Dowling, star of the movie now at the Indiana and also appearing in person in the stage show, will be introduced to those attending the Indiana ballroom tonight. Nat Shilkrat’s orchestra will play many of the tunes which have made Dowling famous.
