             This Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13G with regard to The Marcus
   Corporation is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend Item 4 of
   the originally filed Schedule 13G.  Except as expressly stated herein,
   there have been no material changes in the information set forth in the
   Schedule 13G.

   Item 4.   Ownership (as of the date of filing of this Amendment to
             Schedule 13G):

        (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned:  2,303,571

        (b)  Percent of Class:  17.7%

        (c)  Number of shares as to which such person has:

             (i)     sole power to vote or to direct the vote:  1,260,703
                     Shares
             (ii)    shared power to vote or to direct the vote:  1,042,868
                     Shares
             (iii)   sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 
                     1,260,703 Shares
             (iv)    shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 
                     1,042,868 Shares

             Other than with respect to (i) 33,011 shares of Common Stock
   (which Mr. Marcus shares voting and dispositive power) and (ii) 930 shares
   of Common Stock (which Mr. Marcus has sole voting and dispositive power)
   all of the reported beneficial ownership of Common Stock results from the
   beneficial ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock, which are
   convertible at any time into Common Stock on a share-for-share basis.  The
   percent of class figure assumes conversion of all outstanding shares of
   Class B Common stock into shares of Common Stock; since each share of
   Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes as opposed to 1 vote for each
   share of Common Stock, it is extremely unlikely that Mr. Marcus would
   alone convert a significant amount of his Class B Common Stock into Common
   Stock.  Mr. Marcus' beneficial ownership consists of:

             (i)     930 shares of Common Stock held individually by
                     Mr. Marcus; 
             (ii)    33,011 shares of Common Stock held by trusts whereby Mr.
                     Marcus serves as Trustee; 
             (iii)   1,259,773 shares of Class B Common Stock held
                     individually by Mr. Marcus;
             (iv)    199,698 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr.
                     Marcus as a Shareholder of Guest House Inn, Inc.
             (v)     92,585 shares of Class B Common Stock held as tenant in
                     common with Mr. Marcus' wife; 
             (vi)    30,337 shares of Class B Common Stock held individually
                     by Mr. Marcus' wife;
             (vii)   277,455 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr.
                     Marcus' wife as Trustee for the benefit of their
                     children;
             (viii)  270,369 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr.
                     Marcus as Trustee; and
             (ix)    139,413 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr.
                     Marcus and his wife as Co-Trustees.

             Mr. Marcus' wife (for shares held individually), the trusts, and
   the corporation have the right to receive dividends and proceeds from the
   sale of securities held thereby.
