REGENT THEATRE
“GO WEST.”
The Marx Brothers—Groucho, Chico and Harpo—will be seen tonight at the Regent Theatre in “Go West,” one of the funniest pictures in screen history. There is more of a plot than usual in this Marx offering, nevertheless the merry antics of the comedy stars are more important than what happens in the story. Situations are new and novel, with the most hilarious scenes taking place in a railroad station where Groucho tries to fleece Chico and Harpo and is fleeced himself, a scene in a stage coach as funny as their famed stateroom scene in “A Night at the Opera,” a side-splitting “wild party” with three comedy girls in an office, an Indian sequence and a wild wind-up on board a speeding train. Helping the Marxes out is an outstanding cast. The hero and heroine are John Carroll and Diana Lewis, playing’ a Western couple. Walter Woolf King and Robert Barrat make a fine pair of villains, aided by Mitchell Lewis as a half-breed. Chico plays “The Woodpecker's Song” on the piano in his astounding shooting the keys style, Harpo does a harp solo of “From the Land of Sky Blue Water,” and Groucho joins John Carroll and Chico in singing “Ridin’ the Range.”
