THE FUNNIEST PICTURE SINCE CHAPLIN'S "SHOULDER ARMS
And that—
If your memory is good . . » Was way back yonder!
★ ★ ★
We've gone a long way back We admit. But then, consider what "A NIGHT AT THE OPERA" has And you'll see why We feel safe In making This comparison.

It has
The Marx Brothers— Groucho . . . Chico And Harpo —
Every one of them a comic genius, And together the funniest trio That ever played on stage or screen In this
Or any other country. L r
And it was written by Two famous comedy dramatists — George Kaufman And Morrie Ryskind (George is the fellow who wrote "Once in a Lifetime," "Merrily We Roll Along," And Morrie collaborated With George on
"Of Thee I Sing" and other hits). This is their first joint job Of movie writing. Their stage successes were Laugh riots—
Imagine what they do With the wider range Of the screen — And three master comics To do their stuff.
Then Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Put $1,000,000 into Making this picture. Yes, sir! One million dollars For ninety consecutive minutes Of entertainment. Which,

And lest we forget, That new song— "Alone" By Nacio Herb Brown And Arthur Freed (The tunesmiths who gave you Five happy hit numbers in "Broadway Melody of 1936") And there's lots of Music and romance For instance Allan Jones' rendition Of "II Trovatore" (Watch this boy, he's A new singing star) And watch Kitty Carlisle— She is something To watch!
