It is one of the unique big features from the legitimate stage now placed at the disposa! of the films with the advent of the talking picture. “The Cocoanuts” is the real thing—a musical comedy, singing, dancing, laughing — the Eroadway. stage success, transferred to the .cinema. Laughs come so fast they're al- ways stepping on ene anothers _'‘heels. “The Cocoanuts” is a laugh show from beginning to end. Grou- ‘cho, the. talky Marxman, has the zippiest flow of lines .any miero- phone ever listened to. Harpo puts on a dumb show in pantomime that has never been equalled. Chico pulls some of the funniest stuff in the whole film. Zeppo gets in some mad jesting when his brothers are not looking. It's Marxian fun, side- splitting fooling. Berlin's music is irrestible. In addition to the successful songs and tunes of the original production, the music master has introduced a 5 | new theme song, “When My Dreams Come True,’ and Mary Eaton and Oscar Shaw sing it. Lovely girls, .costumes fo grace a Ziegfeld revue, sets of gorgeous richness, more. than a hundred players in the cast and choruses, some of the hest supporting actors on Broadway, every item in the production provided with lavish generosity and photographed with marvelous effect. Audiences in New York burst into applause in appreciation of the beautiful re- sults achieved with the camera by George Folsey. Harpo Marx and Chico Marx play on the harp and piano respectively. 'SOUND WHERE SOU Wester: THE SCREEN’S FIRST MUSICAL COMEDY “TONIGHT AT TWELVE” LAST TIMES, PALACE | The height of amusing entertain- {ment in talking motion pictures, | dealing with the tangled lives of |husbands and wives, “Tonight At | Twelve,” Universal's sensational dia- logue screen adaptation of Owen | Davis’ successful New York play, | will be shown at the Palace Theatre |for the last. times. tonight. Davis’ play took Broadway's breath away and the picture is said to have even more gasps and ,shocks than the stage presentation, |without crossing the border-line of common decency. What shocks and thrills in “To- inight At Twelve” is the daring !treatment of what every husband and wife knows—that a spark of {jealousy will explode an upheaval of violent elementary enfotions. A wife finds a note written by her husband. She accuses one of three women—all married and all good friends—of being her hus- band’s sweetheart. That starts it and in the confusion that follows the unexpected happens.

It is a talking pie- ture. | Al the ingredients that go to !make up the best action picture are in this production. Hoot is seen {at his best in a hard-riding, hard- ‘nghtlng role, with plenty of humor ‘even. Hoot plays the part of a cracker- “or a girl and his desire to win a rodeo sweepstakes race for his ranch. There is plenty of villainy afoot to keep things interesting at all stages of the game.
