Most of the other users comments this movie as worthless. But to me, I like its musical songs and Harpo's musical with his harp! The first half hour is the most humorous. Especially when Harpo shoots the three cannonballs to Goliath, the Strongman, played by Nat Pendleton, Goliath successfully caught the first two of the three cannonballs, but the second cannon's fuse shot late and the cannonball hit Goliath in the rear-end! Goliath was turned around accepting praise and clapping from the people at the circus, when the third cannonball shot late and unexpectedly! Harpo did not hear the third cannon shoot late either, for he had ear plugs in his ears, to keep the loud cannon blasts from injuring his ears. The musical scores are instrumental as Chico plays the piano, before Groucho appears. Shortly after Groucho finally appears, he sang Lydia, the Tattooed Lady. I like Harpo's two musical clips most! First, after an African-American man screams and runs away, after hearing a lion roar, Harpo is there also and quickly quiets the lions by playing Brahm's Lullaby with a horn, probably a bugle or piccolo, then there are four children (probably of the man that the lions scared) said slang terms, after Harpo got the lions completely quiet. The man returns with his song calling Harpo, Swingali correctly spelled, Svingali. The song is sang and played by an African-American band. Immediately after the song ends, Harpo plays Blue Moon, on his harp, as only he could!
