...attack had hardly been consummated when from the Republican side Major-General Reed of Pennsylvania leaped into a fighting plane and pursued the Borah bomber with a stream of machine gun bullets: "I wonder whether the time may not some day come when the self-chosen advocate of the farmer's cause will himself realize the truth that we are advantaging the American-farmer as we increase the prosperity of the cities of America...
...trio had an amazing, almost incredible story to tell.

The Marx brothers are distinctly the show, and by all means see them now for they may not be in these parts for a long time to come. The censor may even get them for making the audience laugh too much...
