My Facebook comment asked who remembered the time when the Latchis was operated, in the 1970s, as the Capra Theatre. It ran double features of classic movies. Some favorites included Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and the Marx Brothers. We used to watch from the balcony but it seems to me the balcony may have been closed before the Capra run ended. Planet of the Apes drew the biggest crowds but I skipped that one.

“The Cocoanuts” (1929) was Kay Francis’s second feature film and it was The Marx Brothers first “official” feature film. They had made a short in 1921 called “Humor Risk” but after 1 preview the film was never released and Groucho was rumored to have burnt the film negatives but who the fuck knows

Watched A Night at the Opera. It’s No.85 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary list.

Lucille Ball murdered Harpo Marx and replaced him in The Marx Brothers. Because Harpo never spoke, it was the perfect crime.

Out in the alley, under my porch. I'm of an age where I Immediately start thinking Harpo Marx jokes.

There. I said it.

And yes, the score for the 2020 restoration of “Too Many Kisses” was done by none other than Bill Marx, Harpo Marx’s son
