AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY’S PICTURES. “MONKEY BUSINESS.” “Motley Business” is being heralded by pruvri'w audiences as the funniest the brothers have yet made. Abounding in wild gags and screaming situations, “Monkey. Business” reveals Groucho, Chico, Hnrpo, and Zeppo as noisy, boisterous stowaways on a giant transalantie liner. From the moment they are found hidden in four barrels labelled “kippered herring,” the Marx-, es do everything but sink the ship. They order the captain about, become the ship’s barbers, the ship’s doctors and the ship’s nuisances. They pursue every good looking girl from bow to stern; they- become embroiled with a couple of desperate gangsters, and, just to top things off, rescue a fair girl in distress from the clutches of a haru boiled desperado. In the midst of these uproarious situations, Harpo steals a minute or two to call forth soothing 'melodies from his magic harp, and Chico, not to be outdone by his silent brother, performs at the piano with his incomparable trigger-fingered tecnnique. All in all, the boys have the time of their lives in typical looney fa»hi,o|a just as they did in “The Cocoanuts” and “Animal Crackers.” A good supporting programme will also be shown, including News, Pictorial, Screen Song and Snapshots.
