We're looking forward to showing the Marx Brothers madcap classic The Big Store this Monday, Aug. 3, probably for the first time on the Arena Theater big silver screen since it first entertained audiences in 1941.
Groucho, Chico and Harpo turn a big department store upside down, with a nonstop onslaught of puns, one-liners, sight gags and wacko stunts. The comedy is moderated by occasional interludes of musical virtuosity from Harpo (on the harp), and Chico on piano — plus Groucho’s singing.
If you’ve only seen this on tv, or if you haven't even seen this Marx Brothers movie before, don't miss this chance to enjoy this comedy classic actual size, as it was intended to be seen, surrounded by an audience roaring with laughter.
As an extra bonus, we'll screen a vintage Betty Boop cartoon before the feature film.
And maybe you'll win the coveted Arena Theater Popcorn Prize in the trivia quiz that opens every screening!
