''AMERICAN" (GENE FOWLER) "All Broadway track records of this year were shattered—triumphed in a romp— "If 'I'll Say She Is' had only one of the Marx Brothers it would be a good musical comedy revue. And that's why it is four times as good as it might have been. The parents of these gen- tlemen should be thanked fourfold for what they have done for the laughter of their fellow citizens. "Nathan Male had but one life to give to his country. Mr. and Mrs. Marx had four clowns. Here are high patriotic marks for future genera- tions to aim for." "EVE. WORLD" (E. W. OSBORN) "The riot of the summer season. 'I'll Say Slie Is' is a thing to have on every well-regulated shopping list of theatrical novelties.'' N. Y. comics—hilarious ;Ielightful." "WORLD" (QUINN MARTIN) Ihe more important of our imi-iic play nonsense all evening long— "EVE. POST" (ANDERSON) "The program says it is 'I'll Say She Is,' with the Marx Brothers, It ought to read, The Marx Brothers, with '111 Say She Is.' If this amendment fails, then there is nothing to be done except file a confidential report. The Marx Brothers have left your correspondent too limp with kiughter to do more than gasp inco- herently at the moment, A formal statement is impossible. We might give way at an important point and sob brokenly over the memory of their sheer'and collective idiocy—you may be of good cheer, when they come out you'll have to be a scream." "EVE. TELEGRAM" (WELCH) "electrifying—their constantly changing fun keeps the audience roaring louder than trumpets —side-splitting buffoonery—the four Marx Bros, are hosts in themselves, and they are likely to entertain at the Casino for a long, long time." N. Y. 'TIMES" (CORBIN) "—funniest clowns around the village at present. Such shouts of merriment have not been heard around the Casino these many years. They are gorgeous clowns and uproariously funny." N. Y. "TRIBUNE" (PERCY HAMMOND) "Deliberating on last evening's results at the Casino I am inclined to believe that what the Broadway revues need is more and better Marxes," "THE SUN" (ALEX. WOOLLCOTT) ". . . the harlequinade has some of the most comical moments vouchsafed to the first-nighters in a month of Mondays, It is a bright colored atid vehement setting for the goings- on of those talented cut-ups, the Marx Brothers." "WOMEN'S WEAR" (KELCEY ALLEN) "I will miss my guess if it does not stay there for many months to come. It causes laughter, Marx Brothers not only good comedians, but also excellent musicians." ^K>^M^^Mr'v«X>^€>^)^^><^^><M^^Mf^^ ><>^'^>^MM><K^^K><X^<S^)>^}K^^ m: f V, 1?
