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 music for “The Cocoanuts” stage show and film was composed by none other than Irving Berlin

“The Cocoanuts” began life as one of The Marx Brothers’ stage shows which also starred their frequent collaborator Margaret Dumont. She went on to be in 6 more of their films!

“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

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.
