Marx Bros A Night at the Opera and Room Service at Egyptian Theatre

Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)

Hollywood’s historic Egyptian Theatre celebrates the Marx Bros. with screenings of two of their classic comedies. Groucho, Harpo and Chico are in fine form in 1935’s A Night at the Opera, their first film for MGM, which features the famous stateroom and contract scenes. In 1938’s rarely screened Room Service, the brothers try and put on a play before their landlord finds out that they have run out of money, and a young Lucille Ball co-stars. Before the screening, two authors will be signing their books about Groucho Marx in the lobby: Steve Stoliar’s Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho’s House and Robert Bader’s Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales: The Selected Writings of Groucho Marx.
