          This  Amendment  No. 21 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 December 31, 1999):
          ------   ---------

                    (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned: 4,838,760.68

                    (b)  Percent of Class: 16.20%

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

                         (i)   sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
                               429.68 Shares

                         (ii)  shared  power to vote or to direct the vote:
                               4,838,331 Shares

                         (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the
                               disposition of:  429.68 Shares

                         (iv)  shared  power to dispose  or to direct the
                               disposition of: 4,838,331 Shares

          The 429.68  shares  which Mr.  Marcus has sole voting and  dispositive
power result from his participation in The Marcus  Corporation's  profit sharing
plan.  4,543,529 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 portion of his Class B Common Stock into Common Stock.

          Mr. Marcus' beneficial ownership consists of:

          (i)       429.68  shares of Common Stock  resulting  from Mr.  Marcus'
                    participation  in The Marcus  Corporation's  profit  sharing
                    plan;

          (ii)      3,302,805  shares  of Class B Common  Stock  held by the Ben
                    Marcus and Celia Marcus Revocable Trust;

          (iii)     1,240,724  shares of Class B Common  Stock held by the Celia
                    Marcus and Ben Marcus Revocable Trust; and

          (iv)      294,802  shares of Common  Stock  held by the Ben Marcus and
                    Celia Marcus Revocable Trust.
