Included among their following are

The deduction from that must be that
the Marx boys are funny in the way
that every one likes their funniness.

ling, it is within the province Of every

In your own analysis of the Marx
technique Of comic writing, you may
have missed the point that no matter
how insane it may be it remains be-
lievable. That is to say, nothing ever
happens in a Marx mad-cappery that
could not happen In what loosely is
called life. II it won't stand the test
Of plausibility, withthe Makes being

That is the way they feel, and the

IN THE next Marx creation, "a Day
at the Races" how do you think
they have gone about retaining be-
lievability In their every japery?
Simply by using romance as the
basic Ingredient. Every incident.
every situation in the film stems
from the idea boy loves girl.
The boy and girl are Allen Jones
and Maureen O'Sullivan. They might
have been any other boy and girl
who could sing and be lovely to look
at, respectively. The MarXes wouldn't
have cared All they wanted was a
young couple to play at being in love
while the Makes played the merry
madmen they always have been.
In this particular instance the mer-
riment, grows out of the fact that
love (poor thing is not running
smoothly. The Marxes, out Of fine
human impulse, try to correct the sit
uation. Everything they do. Of course,
makes it worse. And funnier! But it
never becomes funny beyond belief.
Not even when Jones climbs a tree
to serenade Maureen and threatens to
remain there, serenading his heart out,
until she consents to marry him.

after its founder, Miss Gere Dell Sale,
who, in addition to having that fas-
cinating name, seems to have quite
a handful of talent for the theater.
She's a l6-year-old junior at Central

and produces every play presented by
her Gere Players.

are strict to the point Of comparing
