SUMMARY:The Marx Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The Marx Brothers were much\, much better than you remember! Their humor uplifted American spirits during the Depression and established new standards for comedy. The Marx Brothers’ combination of odd and unique talents\, including a harp-playing mime\, a Jewish comic with the worst Italian accent and the most distinctive piano-playing style\, and one of the greatest monologists of all time\, have delighted and baffled classic movie fans since the Depression. They performed alongside Lucille Ball\, sang music written by Irving Berlin and acted in comedies written by the great George S. Kaufmann\, yet many people dimly think of the as analogous to The Three Stooges. \nBut when you look deeper\, you see an amazing immigrant success story\, discover how American popular culture was changing\, and meet four remarkably different and interesting men whose films rank among the best comedies of all time. “Duck Soup” is rightly considered one of the greatest films ever made about politics. Both that film and “A Night At The Opera” are on the AFI list of the 100 best movies! Whether you are a long-time fan of the Marx Brothers\, a skeptic\, or completely unfamiliar with their work\, you are in for a treat with this fun multimedia presentation! \nTHIS PRESENTATION IS LIVE AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. THE PRESENTATION IS AT THE HIGHLAND PARK SENIOR\, LOCATED AT THE BEAUTIFUL HIGHLAND PARK COUNTRY CLUB. REGISTER THROUGH THEM!

SUMMARY:Gracie Allen – Underappreciated Comic Genius
DESCRIPTION: Gracie Allen is one of the funniest women ever to perform in American theater\, radio\, television\, and film. And yet if I asked you to name the greatest comedienne’s of all time\, you would probably mention names like Lucille Ball\, Carol Burnett\, Tina Fey\, and Mary Tyler Moore\, but you might not remember to include Gracie Allen.  That’s a shame because Gracie Allen deserves immense respect for creating one of the most memorable\, quotable\, and beloved comic characters of all time. \nGracie Allen – Underappreciated Comic Genius\n This multimedia presentation will highlight the phenomenal career of George Burns and Gracie Allen. We will especially focus on the very talented but often underrated Gracie Allen. \nAmong the highlights will be Gracie Allen’s historical and hysterical run for the Presidency in 1940\, her ability to dance beautifully with stars like Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell\, and her lasting impact on vaudeville\, radio\, and television comedy. \nThis unique\, fast-moving\, and funny multimedia presentation will amuse you and entertain you and open your eyes to why the fabulous Gracie Allen deserves to be remembered as one of the great comediennes of all time! \nTHIS PRESENTATION IS LIVE AND WILL NOT BE STREAMED. THE PRESENTATION IS AT THE HIGHLAND PARK SENIOR\, LOCATED AT THE BEAUTIFUL HIGHLAND PARK COUNTRY CLUB. REGISTER THROUGH THEM!
