                             THE MARCUS CORPORATION
                 CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
                       TWELVE AND TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED
                                NOVEMBER 9, 1995
                                   (Unaudited)


   A.  Refer to the Company's audited financial statements (including
       footnotes) for the year ended May 25, 1995, contained in the Company's
       Form 10-K Annual Report for such year, for a description of the
       Company's accounting policies.

   B.  The consolidated financial statements for the twelve and twenty-four
       weeks ended November 9, 1995 and November 10, 1994, have been prepared
       by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
       adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary to
       present fairly the unaudited interim financial information at November
       9, 1995, and for all periods presented have been made.

   C.  Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 12, 1995, the
       Company completed the sale of its 18 existing Applebee's Neighborhood
       Grill & Bar restaurants (Applebee's), two Applebee's under
       construction, five Applebee's under development and its development
       rights for Applebee's to Apple South, Inc. (the Purchaser).  On June
       5, 1995, the Company entered into a management agreement with the
       Purchaser, whereby the Purchaser commenced to immediately manage,
       operate and assume all of the Company's existing operating and
       development responsibilities related to the Company's Applebee's
       restaurant operations.  The Purchaser received all profits of the
       restaurants between June 5, 1995 and June 30, 1995, as reimbursement
       for its management service.  On June 30, 1995, proceeds from the sale
       of approximately $48.3 million were received by the Company in cash.

   D.  The Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split,
       effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, distributed on November
       14, 1995, to all holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. 
       All per share and weighted average shares outstanding data prior to
       November 14, 1995, have been adjusted to reflect this dividend.

   Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
             and Financial Condition

   RESULTS OF OPERATION

   General 

       The Company reports its results of operations on a 52-or 53-week
   fiscal year which ends on the last Thursday in May.  Each fiscal year is
   divided into three 12-week quarters and a final quarter consisting of 16
   or 17 weeks.  The final quarter of fiscal 1996 will consist of 17 weeks
   for the Company and its theatre division, while the Company's remaining
   divisions will report a 16-week fourth quarter.  The Company and all of
   its divisions reported a 52-week year in fiscal 1995.

       Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 ended November 9, 1995
   totaled $59.1 million dollars, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 8.7%, from
   revenues of $64.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the
   first half of fiscal 1996 revenues were $132.7 million, a decrease of $8.4
   million, or 6.0%, from revenues of $141.1 million in the first half of
   fiscal 1995.  The decline in revenues in the fiscal 1996 periods from the
   prior year's periods, which was anticipated by the Company, was due to the
   loss of $11.9 million and $23.8 million in restaurant division revenues
   for the fiscal 1996 second quarter and first half, respectively, from the
   Company's June 1995 sale of its Applebee's restaurants and the Company's
   disposition through lease of its 11 Marc's Cafe & Coffee Mill restaurants
   in February 1995.  However, as described below, the loss of revenues from
   the disposition of its Applebee's and Marc's Cafe & Coffee Mill
   restaurants was partially offset by increased 1996 comparative period
   revenues in all of the Company's other divisions.

       Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $6.6 million,
   or $0.33 per share, a 19.8% and 17.9% respective increase from net
   earnings of $5.5 million, or $0.28 per share, for the second quarter of
   fiscal 1995.  For the first half of fiscal 1996 earnings from ongoing
   operations were $17.1 million, or $0.86 per share, excluding the after-tax
   gain of $14.8 million, or $0.75 per share, resulting from the Company's
   sale of its Applebee's restaurants and related rights.  This represented a
   respective 17.1% and 16.2% increase from net earnings of $14.6 million, or
   $0.74 per share, in the first half of fiscal 1995.  Including the gain
   from the Applebee's sale, net earnings were $31.9 million, or $1.61 per
   share, for the first half of fiscal 1996.  All earnings per share data
   have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split effected in
   the form of a 50% stock dividend on November 14, 1995.

   Motels

       Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 for the motel
   division were $27.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 13.6%,
   compared to $24.6 million in the same period in fiscal 1995.  The motel
   division's operating income for the fiscal 1996 second quarter totaled
   $5.5 million, an increase of $529,000, or 10.6%, over the $5.0 million
   earned by the division in the same period in fiscal 1995.  Total revenues
   for the first half of fiscal 1996 for the motel division were $58.4
   million, an increase of $7.8 million, or 15.4%, compared to $50.6 million
   in the same period in fiscal 1995.  The motel division's operating income
   for the first half of fiscal 1996 totaled $13.7 million, an increase of
   $2.1 million, or 18.6%, over the $11.6 million earned by the division in
   the same period in fiscal 1995.

       Compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1995, there were
   eight new Company-owned and eight new franchised Budgetel Inns in
   operation at the end of the fiscal 1996 second quarter.  These new
   facilities contributed additional revenues of $1.6 million to the
   division's fiscal 1996 second quarter revenues.  Occupancy and average
   daily room rates at the Company's continuing motels during the fiscal 1996
   periods remained consistent with the strong results of last year's
   comparative periods as the Company continued to benefit from strong
   consumer demand in the lodging industry.  At the end of the second
   quarter, the Company operated 117 Budgetel Inns, of which 87 were Company-
   owned and 30 were franchised, compared to a total of 101 Budgetel Inns at
   the end of last year's second quarter (79 Company-owned and 22
   franchised).  The Company is continuing to pursue an aggressive expansion
   program for its Budgetel Inns and currently plans to open up to an
   additional 17 new Company-owned or franchised Budgetel Inns during the
   remainder of fiscal 1996.  The Company also owns and operates three
   Woodfield Suite all-suite motels and is currently developing two
   additional Woodfield Suites.

   Theatres

       The theatre division's fiscal 1996 second quarter revenues were $10.1
   million, an increase of $700,000, or 7.5%, over revenues of $9.4 million
   in the same period in fiscal 1995.  Operating income for the second
   quarter in fiscal 1996 was $1.1 million, an increase of $412,000, or
   60.7%, over operating income of $679,000 in the same prior year period. 
   The theatre division's fiscal 1996 first half revenues were $29.0 million,
   an increase of $2.2 million, or 8.0%, over revenues of $26.8 million in
   the same period in fiscal 1995.  Operating income for the first half of
   fiscal 1996 was $5.5 million, an increase of $609,000, or 12.4%, over $4.9
   million in the same prior year period.  Consistent with the seasonality of
   the motion picture exhibition industry, the second quarter of the
   Company's fiscal year is typically the slowest period for its theatre
   division.  In November, the division opened a new ten-plex theatre in
   Orland Park, Illinois and construction is underway on two eight-plexes in
   Appleton and New Berlin, Wisconsin.  Plans are also underway to construct
   a new 20-screen theatre in Addison, Illinois.  Scheduled to open in the
   fall of 1996, the Addison 20-plex will be the Chicago area's and the
   Company's largest movie theatre complex.

       Total box office receipts for the fiscal 1996 first half were $20.3
   million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.9%, from $19.2 million in the
   same period in the prior year.  Box office receipts increased for the
   first half of fiscal 1996 compared to the prior year's first half due to
   the operation of two new eight-plex theatres, together with a 5.5%
   increase in average ticket prices and a 11.2% increase in vending revenues
   per person.  Four screens were closed from last year's second quarter,
   resulting in a nominal loss of revenues and improved operating income from
   last year's second quarter.  The Company operated 204 total screens during
   the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 189 during last year's
   second quarter.  The additional screens in operation during the quarter
   allowed over-all theatre attendance to increase slightly during the first
   half of 1996 compared to the fiscal 1995 first half.  Theatre attendance
   is largely dependent upon the audience appeal of available films, a factor
   over which the Company has limited control.  During the first half of
   fiscal 1996, attendance was flat due to the relatively small number of
   "blockbuster" movies.

   Hotels and Resorts

       Total revenues from the hotels and resorts division during the second
   quarter of fiscal 1996 increased by $2.1 million, or 16.7%, to $14.8
   million, compared to $12.7 million in the previous year's comparable
   period.  Operating income increased by $288,000, or 25.2%, to $1.4 million
   in the fiscal 1996 second quarter, compared to $1.1 million in the prior
   fiscal year's second quarter.  Total revenues from the hotels and resorts
   division during the first half of fiscal 1996 increased by $5.5 million,
   or 21.1%, to $31.5 million, over $26.0 million in the previous year's
   comparable period.  Operating income increased by $1.6 million in the
   first half of fiscal 1996, or 54.7%, to $4.5 million, compared to $2.9
   million in the prior fiscal year's first half.

       Substantially improved occupancy and room rates at the Grand Geneva
   Resort & Spa were the primary reasons for the increases in the fiscal 1996
   periods compared to the prior year's periods, together with improved
   occupancy rates and average room rates at the Milwaukee Hilton (formerly
   the Marc Plaza), which reopened in June 1995 after extensive renovation
   and restoration.  Pre-opening costs for the Milwaukee Hilton, which are
   being amortized over a one-year period which began in the first quarter of
   fiscal 1996, reduced otherwise stronger operating profits.

   Restaurants

       Restaurant division revenues totaled $6.0 million for the fiscal 1996
   second quarter, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 66.9%, from $18.1 million
   in the same period in fiscal 1995.  The division's operating loss for the
   fiscal 1996 second quarter was $383,000, compared to operating income of
   $88,000 in the second quarter of the prior year.  Restaurant division
   revenues totaled $13.3 million for the fiscal 1996 first half, a decrease
   of $24.2 million, or 64.5%, from $37.5 million in the same period in
   fiscal 1995.  The division's operating loss in the first half of fiscal
   1996 was $751,000, compared to operating income of $916,000 in the first
   half of fiscal 1995.  The decreased revenues in both fiscal 1996 periods
   were virtually all due to the disposition or closure of 38 restaurants
   since last year's second quarter, as well as decreased revenues in the
   fiscal 1996 periods recognized by the Company's KFC restaurants. 
   Operating results in both fiscal 1996 periods declined due primarily to
   the sale of the Company's profitable Applebee's restaurants.

       The Company's KFC restaurants experienced a 4.9% decrease in revenues
   and a 44.0% decrease in operating profits during the fiscal 1996 second
   quarter compared to the prior year's second quarter.  For the first half
   of fiscal 1996, the Company's KFC restaurants experienced a 3.7% decrease
   in revenues and a 49.1% decrease in operating profit compared to the same
   fiscal 1995 period.  The decreased results between comparative periods
   were the result of increased operating expenses, including significantly
   higher chicken costs, and special lower priced promotions, together with
   the loss of $252,000 in revenues from the closure of four underperforming
   KFC restaurants since last year's second quarter.  Although guest counts
   increased 2% at same-store KFCs during the first half of fiscal 1996
   compared to the first half of fiscal 1995, average check amounts decreased
   1% because of lower priced promotions.


   FINANCIAL CONDITION

       The Company's lodging, movie theatre and restaurant businesses each
   generate significant and consistent daily amounts of cash because each
   segment's revenue is derived predominantly from consumer cash purchases. 
   The Company believes that these consistent and predictable cash sources,
   together with the availability to the Company of $45 million in unused
   credit lines at the end of the first quarter, should be adequate to
   support the ongoing operational liquidity needs of the Company's
   businesses.

       Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $9.9 million
   during the first half of fiscal 1996 to $16.3 million, compared to $26.2
   million in the prior year's first half.  The primary cause of this
   decrease was a decrease in accounts and notes payable caused by timing
   differences in payments to vendors and increased income tax expense
   related to the gain on disposals of property and equipment.

       As a result of receiving $49.5 million in net cash proceeds from the
   disposition of property and equipment, including the sale of its
   Applebee's restaurants and related rights, the Company's investing
   activities generated a positive cash flow of $14.7 million during the
   first half of fiscal 1996, compared to a net use of $31.0 million in the
   fiscal 1995 first half.  Capital expenditures to support the Company's
   continuing expansion program totalled $36.7 million in the first half of
   fiscal 1996 compared to $34.2 million in the prior year's first half.

       Net cash used in financing activities increased to $26.0 million in
   the first half of fiscal 1996, compared to $1.2 million of net cash
   provided by financing activities in the first half of fiscal 1995.  During
   the fiscal 1996 first half, the Company paid $21.1 million of principal
   payments on long-term debt (as a result of its receipt of cash from its
   Applebee's sale), compared to $3.4 million in the prior year's first half,
   and made dividend payments of $5.0 million compared to $4.2 million during
   the prior year's first half.  The Company did not issue any new debt
   during the fiscal 1996 first half compared to $8.7 million of new debt
   issued in the first half of fiscal 1995.

       The Company's continuing expansion plans are being funded from cash
   generated from operations, the funds received by the Company from the
   prior sale of its Applebee's restaurants and other facilities, and
   additional bank debt.  The actual timing and extent of the implementation
   of the Company's current expansion plans will depend in large part on
   continuing favorable industry and general economic conditions, the
   competitive environment, evolving customer needs and trends and the
   availability of attractive opportunities.  It is likely that the Company's
   current expansion goals will continue to evolve and change in response to
   these and other factors.

       The Company currently has one interest rate swap agreement in the
   notional amount of $15.0 million.  This agreement is not material to the
   Company's financial condition.
