Talking of Cab Calloway & Minnie the Moocher & the Marx Bros — have always loved the bit at beginning of ANightAtTheOpera, where the Sig Ruhman character, director of the opera, announces that their new signing from Europe will be a great bargain at only $1000 a night. '$1000 a night,' exclaims Groucho: 'why for 75 cents you can get a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher — come to think of it, for a dollar and a quarter you can get Minnie.' Ah, happy, innocent days!
