# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Marx Brothers in ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930) w/ Groucho pre-show
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: “Unrelentingly hilarious! It’s so difficult to quantify just the anarchy and undeniable joy that comes from watching the Marx Brothers at the top of their game. There are few essential pleasures on this planet; Animal Crackers is one.” – Pre-Code.com

Filled with comedy sketches, musical numbers and plenty of gags, ANIMAL CRACKERS is the first film to truly capture the Marx Brothers’ anarchic spirit and remains one of their most quotable works. Groucho stars as the original Captain Spaulding—decades before the name was repurposed by Rob Zombie for a murderous clown. Spaulding is a famed African explorer being honored at a high society party at the estate of Mrs. Rittenhouse (ur-dowager Margaret Dumont), but mayhem and chaos ensue after a valuable painting disappears and Spaulding, along with the Professor (Harpo), Signore Emanuel Ravelli (Chico) and Horatio (Zeppo) “help” search for it. Highlighted by musical performances including “Hooray for Captain Spaulding,” which would later become the theme song to Groucho’s popular TV series You Bet Your Life, ANIMAL CRACKERS may just be Groucho’s finest hour.

The film will be preceded by a Groucho Marx pre-show starting at 6:30 pm.
