LAUGHTER UNLIMITED.
MARX BROTHERS FOR REGENT. The mad but merry Four Marx Brothers, specialists in nonsense, are starred ill "Horse Feathers," fourth of tlieir moving pictures, which comes to the Regent Theatre to-morrow. "Horse Feathers," like previous Marx Brothers pictures, is sheer foolery, with the bemoustached Groucho talking and. punning at a terrific rate, slow-moving Chico answering in Italian dialect and occasionally playing the piano, red-wigged Havpo chasing his blondes, and almost-normal Zeppo making love to the ingenue. In "Horse Feathers," however, tliey have definite roles. Groucho is a college president who took that job to get his son Zeppo out of school, where lie has spent twelve years or so. Chico is the village bootlegger, and Harpo the village dog catcher. Between them, they mar.age to tear the college and everything else to pieces.
"Horse Feathers" is said to cap in laughter strength the Marx Brothers' three earlier comedies —"The Coconuts," "Animal Crackers" and "Monkey Business." It will displace the Harold Lloyd comedy, "Movie Crazy," at the Regent.
