in the case of Go West" Any time
a laugh appears on the horizon, the
brothers set off in mad pursuit OF II
and the result is kidding not
merely for Western pictures, but OF
satires of Western pictures, of the
Marxes, and even of the audience.
There is passage for instance In
which Groucho grabs a gag out OF
the mouth of another character
with the explanation this is the
best gag in the picture 1t goes
big. Then, there's another in which
Chico suggests calling the police
only to be reminded by Groucho
that this is 1870 and Don Ameche

That IS the way things go in Marx
picture and this one is true to the
smallest detail.
The general idea of Go West is
to keep the three in character, to
permit Groucho to be the smart guy
whose Smartness always lands him
in trouble, to allow Harpo to pursue
Blends with his trademarked en-
tlluSidSiii, anu W give OiiiSo 1iic
chance to be a sort of fall guy fall
ing all over the place.
If the result is to give YOU the
idea that you have seen that sort
of thing somewhere before, the
Marxes no doubt would be the first
to point out that it was in their
previous pictures.
They have tried merely to put
new face on the various gags. In
some of them, too. they are singu-
larly successful. One such is the
opening sequence in which Groucho,
somewhat strangely, is taken for
great trimming by the other pair
on a money changing trick that is
a simple variant on the other they've
used before. Even better, however,
are the passages in which Harpo
blows a safe with a miniature can
brothers get drunk with a collec-
ton of largely and amiable blonds
in an adjoining room. That inter-
lude makes a pleasant stopover on
the way to the climax, which is the
best part of the picture.
With any one else that climax
would be just another flight on
stolen train. but this one has the
Marx brothers, and it is hilarious.
The locomotive is that one of 1870
vintage which you've seen in other
pictures. the one that burns wood
This time when it runs out of fuel
the brothers substitute everything
burnable, first the passengers bag

press car, and finally they just chop

Of them left is the flooring and a
few splinters of the walls.
There's a touch of romance about

ing love story that involves a couple

to account for a bit of dullness
which creeps into the pictures by

We are watching more nervously
than ever today. De Mile had a
dramatic story to start with, of
course. though the biography Of the
United States seems an incredible
and highly improbable plot. But
he must be credited with keeping
it dramatic, with making Land of
Liberty engrossing by selecting the
proper nuggets. the most effective
scenes from all he had to examine.
The whole picture of the birth of
the United States and its growth
through fretful adolescence to con-
fused but hopeful young manhood
is here, condensed, of course, but
with none of the high lights miss
ing. And there is much of that
story worth inspecting again in
these or any other times. Living
words and deeds are recalled to
bolster our courage when it can
stand little bolstering. The more
familiar words Patrick Henry's
well-known choice between two al
ternatives and the Gettysburg Ad-
dress. which Massey makes A soberly
beautiful moment, stand side by
side with less readily recalled but
likewise inspiring memories.
This motion picture re-examina-
ton and summing up might easily
have become chauvinistic, but Mr..
De Mile is a chap who would rather
deal in action than grafton. He
has chosen to let the facts, rather
the cinematic reproduction of the
facts, speak for themselves. and
speak they do. Anyhow. if any one
wishes to accuse the motion picture
industry Of waving the flag, it must
be admitted that it is waving the
right flag.

phase or another Of our history.
