We viewed that night a series of film clips from the Marx Bros. pictures, "Ani- mal Crackers" (1930); "Monkey Business" (1931); "Horse Feathers" (1932); "The Night at the Opera" (1935); "A Day at the Races" 7,444e 'e '7614 cf- SeaPod 22101 Coolidge 1 Block So of 9 Mi 4111111114Pli Call 548-4031 We Bone-Skin-Grind-Fish Free W E W RAP FOR FREEZING years younger than Harpo and Chico, both of whom died before Groucho, he remained the dominant one of the brothers throughout a career of half a centruy, from vaudeville to Broadway and Hol- lywood. Groucho was quite difficult to talk to: he was witty but ex- tremely sarcastic when confronted by people he didn't know well. He was pompous and self- righteous, or at least pre- tended to be so.

Whereupon Groucho snap- ped back, "No, I am the greatest." George reveals that he countered the self- praise with the whimsical answer, "If not Chaplin then I rank as the greatest comedian." Groucho didn't talk to him afterwards for a long time!

There was also a screening of a filmed scene from the stage production of "Min- nie's Boys," a musical com- edy by Groucho's son, Ar- thur Marx, dealing with the ascent to fame of the "Four Nightingales" who became the Marx Bros. with Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo while another origi- nal team member, Gummo, remained on the sideline.

Kaufman of the screenplays to "Animal Crackers" and "A Night at the Opera,") with Fay Kanin acting as moderator. Ryskind, whose Broad- way plays go back to the early 1920s, made it clear that the seemingly im- promptu remarks and the wild horseplay of the Marx Bros. never was improvised on stage or in front of the cameras but word-by-word indicated in the script. It was Groucho and his brothers' ingenious in- terpretation that created the robust often rustic humor of their stage and sc- reen comedies, a slapstick characterization conceived for specific identity of the four Marx Bros., which re- mained with them through- out their careers. Arthur Marx, as a wri- ter often at odds with his father though an admirer of his work, lingered at great length on the unau- thorized biography of Groucho — which took him 18 months to com- plete — only to hear from his father that he was going to sue him upon publication and suggest- ing he throw the manus- cript into the trash can. Bette Midler, on July 14, was on the makeshift stage, a huge steel construction, at the Long Beach Memorial Stadium in California, with thousands upon thousands of young men and women dressed in the style of the late 1960s, in blue jeans, T-shirts and denim jackets, raising both hands in greet- ing in unison shouting to the shrill rhythm of the band, "We save the world with drugs, sex and rock- and-roll."
