All the brothers confirmed that Minnie Marx had been the head of the family and the driving force in getting the troupe launched, the only person who could keep them in order; she was said to be a hard bargainer with theatre management.
Gummo and Zeppo both became successful businessmen: Gummo gained success through his agency activities and a raincoat business, [17] and Zeppo became a multi-millionaire through his engineering business.
The brothers were from a family of artists, and their musical talent was encouraged from an early age.
Harpo was particularly talented, learning to play an estimated six different instruments throughout his career. He became a dedicated harpist, which gave him his nickname.
Groucho's debut was in , mainly as a singer. The troupe was renamed "The Six Mascots". One evening in , a performance at the Opera House in Nacogdoches, Texas , was interrupted by shouts from outside about a runaway mule.
The audience hurried out to see what was happening. Groucho was angered by the interruption and, when the audience returned, he made snide comments at their expense, including "Nacogdoches is full of roaches" and "the jackass is the flower of Tex-ass".
Instead of becoming angry, the audience laughed. The family then realized that it had potential as a comic troupe.
The act slowly evolved from singing with comedy to comedy with music. The brothers' sketch "Fun in Hi Skule" featured Groucho as a German-accented teacher presiding over a classroom that included students Harpo, Gummo, and Chico.
The last version of the school act was titled Home Again and was written by their uncle Al Shean. The Home Again tour reached Flint, Michigan in , where year-old Zeppo joined his four brothers for what is believed to be the only time that all five Marx Brothers appeared together on stage.
During World War I, anti-German sentiments were common, and the family tried to conceal its German origin. By this time, "The Four Marx Brothers" had begun to incorporate their unique style of comedy into their act and to develop their characters.
Both Groucho's and Harpo's memoirs say that their now-famous on-stage personae were created by Al Shean. Groucho began to wear his trademark greasepaint mustache and to use a stooped walk.
Harpo stopped speaking onstage and began to wear a red fright wig and carry a taxi-cab horn. Chico spoke with a fake Italian accent, developed off-stage to deal with neighborhood toughs, while Zeppo adopted the role of the romantic and "peerlessly cheesy", according to James Agee [28] straight man.
The on-stage personalities of Groucho, Chico, and Harpo were said to have been based on their actual traits. Zeppo, on the other hand, was considered the funniest brother offstage, despite his straight stage roles.
He was the youngest and had grown up watching his brothers, so he could fill in for and imitate any of the others when illness kept them from performing.
Zeppo stood in for Groucho in the film version of Animal Crackers. Groucho was unavailable to film the scene in which the Beaugard painting is stolen, so the script was contrived to include a power failure, which allowed Zeppo to play the Spaulding part in near-darkness.
By the s, the Marx Brothers had become one of America's favorite theatrical acts, with their sharp and bizarre sense of humor.
They satirized high society and human hypocrisy, and they became famous for their improvisational comedy in free-form scenarios.
A famous early instance was when Harpo arranged to chase a fleeing chorus girl across the stage during the middle of a Groucho monologue to see if Groucho would be thrown off.
However, to the audience's delight, Groucho merely reacted by commenting, "First time I ever saw a taxi hail a passenger".
When Harpo chased the girl back in the other direction, Groucho calmly checked his watch and ad-libbed, "The 's right on time. You can set your watch by the Lehigh Valley.
The brothers' vaudeville act had made them stars on Broadway under Chico's management and with Groucho's creative direction—first with the musical revue I'll Say She Is — and then with two musical comedies: The Cocoanuts — and Animal Crackers — Playwright George S.
Kaufman worked on the last two and helped sharpen the brothers' characterizations. Out of their distinctive costumes, the brothers looked alike, even down to their receding hairlines.
Zeppo could pass for a younger Groucho, and played the role of his son in Horse Feathers. A scene in Duck Soup finds Groucho, Harpo, and Chico all appearing in the famous greasepaint eyebrows, mustache, and round glasses while wearing nightcaps.
The three are indistinguishable, enabling them to carry off the "mirror scene" perfectly. The stage names of the brothers except Zeppo were coined by monologist Art Fisher [28] during a poker game in Galesburg, Illinois , based both on the brothers' personalities and Gus Mager 's Sherlocko the Monk , a popular comic strip of the day that included a supporting character named " Groucho ".
The reasons behind Chico's and Harpo's stage names are undisputed, and Gummo's is fairly well established. Groucho's and Zeppo's are far less clear.
Arthur was named Harpo because he played the harp , and Leonard became Chico pronounced "Chick-o" because he was, in the slang of the period, a "chicken chaser".
In his autobiography, Harpo explained that Milton became Gummo because he crept about the theater like a gumshoe detective.
Still others reported that Milton was the troupe's best dancer, and dance shoes tended to have rubber soles. Whatever the details, the name relates to rubber-soled shoes.
The reason that Julius was named Groucho is perhaps the most disputed. There are three explanations:. I kept my money in a 'grouch bag'.
This was a small chamois bag that actors used to wear around their neck to keep other hungry actors from pinching their dough.
Naturally, you're going to think that's where I got my name from. But that's not so. Grouch bags were worn on manly chests long before there was a Groucho.
Herbert was not nicknamed by Art Fisher, since he did not join the act until Gummo had departed. As with Groucho, three explanations exist for Herbert's name "Zeppo":.
Maxine Marx reported in The Unknown Marx Brothers that the brothers listed their real names Julius, Leonard, Adolph, Milton, and Herbert on playbills and in programs, and only used the nicknames behind the scenes, until Alexander Woollcott overheard them calling one another by the nicknames.
He asked them why they used their real names publicly when they had such wonderful nicknames, and they replied, "That wouldn't be dignified.
Woollcott did not meet the Marx Brothers until the premiere of I'll Say She Is , which was their first Broadway show, so this would mean that they used their real names throughout their vaudeville days, and that the name "Gummo" never appeared in print during his time in the act.
Other sources reported that the Marx Brothers went by their nicknames during their vaudeville era, but briefly listed themselves by their given names when I'll Say She Is opened because they were worried that a Broadway audience would reject a vaudeville act if they were perceived as low class.
The Marx Brothers' stage shows became popular just as motion pictures were evolving to " talkies ". They signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and embarked on their film career at Paramount's studios in New York City 's Astoria section.
Their first two released films after an unreleased short silent film titled Humor Risk were adaptations of the Broadway shows The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers Both were written by George S.
Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind. Production then shifted to Hollywood, beginning with a short film that was included in Paramount's twentieth anniversary documentary, The House That Shadows Built , in which they adapted a scene from I'll Say She Is.
Their third feature-length film, Monkey Business , was their first movie not based on a stage production.
Horse Feathers , in which the brothers satirized the American college system and Prohibition , was their most popular film yet, and won them the cover of Time magazine.
During this period Chico and Groucho starred in a radio comedy series, Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel. Though the series was short lived, much of the material developed for it was used in subsequent films.
The show's scripts and recordings were believed lost until copies of the scripts were found in the Library of Congress in the s. It did not do as well financially as Horse Feathers , but was the sixth-highest grosser of The film sparked a dispute between the Marxes and the village of Fredonia, New York.
Groucho fired back a sarcastic retort asking them to change the name of their town, because "it's hurting our picture.
After expiration of the Paramount contract Zeppo left the act to become an agent. He and brother Gummo went on to build one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood, helping the likes of Jack Benny and Lana Turner get their starts.
Groucho and Chico did radio, and there was talk of returning to Broadway. Unlike the free-for-all scripts at Paramount, Thalberg insisted on a strong story structure that made the brothers more sympathetic characters, interweaving their comedy with romantic plots and non-comic musical numbers, and targeting their mischief-making at obvious villains.
Thalberg was adamant that scripts include a "low point", where all seems lost for both the Marxes and the romantic leads.
He instituted the innovation of testing the film's script before live audiences before filming began, to perfect the comic timing, and to retain jokes that earned laughs and replace those that did not.
Thalberg restored Harpo's harp solos and Chico's piano solos, which had been omitted from Duck Soup. The film—including its famous scene where an absurd number of people crowd into a tiny stateroom on a ship—was a great success, and was followed two years later by an even bigger hit, A Day at the Races , in which the brothers cause mayhem in a sanitarium and at a horse race.
In a interview with Dick Cavett , Groucho said that the two movies made with Thalberg were the best that they ever produced. Despite the Thalberg films' success, the brothers left MGM in ; Thalberg had died suddenly on September 14, , two weeks after filming began on A Day at the Races , leaving the Marxes without an advocate at the studio.
Prior to the release of The Big Store the team announced they were retiring from the screen. Four years later, however, Chico persuaded his brothers to make two additional films, A Night in Casablanca and Love Happy , to alleviate his severe gambling debts.

The Big Store - Piano Scene - The Marx BrothersHe was the third child of Minnie and Sam "Frenchie" Marx. The oldest, Manfred, died at six months Leonard who became Chico was born on March 22, , and Julius who became Groucho was born on October 2, Two other brothers - Milton Gummo was born in and Herbert Zeppo was born in My Dad grew up poor in turn of the century New York City.
He wasn't exactly a scholar and he dropped out of school literally when two classmates threw him out the window of his second grade class.
But from that moment on he was a true "student of life. He even played piano in a whorehouse! But the pull of the theater was too strong for him.
Or should I say his mother pulled him off a piano stool in a nickelodeon and dragged him into a singing act she'd created with Groucho, Julius , Gummo and another guy.
However it happened, my Dad stayed in show biz pretty much from then on. The singing group became a comedy troupe. Brother Chico joined the act. And so did Brother Zeppo when Brother Gummo left.
And at some much earlier point, my dad changed his name from Adolph to Arthur. A visit to the set inspired poet Robert Lowell to compose a poem about Marx.
Harpo's two final television appearances came less than a month apart in late Harpo married actress Susan Fleming on September 28, The wedding became public knowledge after President Franklin D.
Roosevelt sent the couple a telegram of congratulations the following month. Groucho was divorced three times, Zeppo twice, Chico once.
The couple adopted four children: Bill , Alex, Jimmy, and Minnie. So when I leave for work, I want a kid in every window, waving goodbye.
Harpo was good friends with theater critic Alexander Woollcott , and became a regular member of the Algonquin Round Table.
He once said his main contribution was to be the audience for the quips of other members. Kaufman and Moss Hart based the character of "Banjo" on Harpo.
Harpo later played the role in Los Angeles opposite Woollcott, who had inspired the character of Sheridan Whiteside. In , Harpo published his autobiography, Harpo Speaks!
Because he never spoke a word in character, many believed he actually was mute. A reporter who interviewed him in the early s wrote that "he [Harpo] His son, Bill, recalled that in private, Harpo had a very deep and mature soft-spoken voice, but that he was "not verbose" like the other Marx brothers; Harpo preferred listening and learning from others.
Sherman burst into tears when Harpo announced his retirement from the entertainment business. Comedian Steve Allen , who was in the audience, remembered that Harpo spoke for several minutes about his career, and how he would miss it all, and repeatedly interrupted Sherman when he tried to speak.
The audience found it charmingly ironic, Allen said, that Harpo, who had never before spoken on stage or screen, "wouldn't shut up!
Harpo Marx died on September 28, , his 28th wedding anniversary , at age 75 in a West Los Angeles hospital, one day after undergoing heart surgery. Groucho's son Arthur Marx , who attended the funeral with most of the Marx family, later said that Harpo's funeral was the only time in his life that he ever saw his father cry.
In his will, Harpo Marx donated his trademark harp to the State of Israel. Harpo is most known for his signature outfit: trench coat with over-large pockets, red wig he switched to a blond one for every film after The Cocoanuts , top hat, and a comical horn heard in his movies.
He was also well known for playing the harp, though he could not read music. Outside the professional harp community, he remains one of the best "ambassadors for the harp" the world has known and one of his harps was donated to an Israeli orchestra.
In time, his talent earned him an international reputation as he performed in movies as well as in stage shows around the globe.
Marx was portrayed by the actor J. Henry in the film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. The show ran for performances from October through May From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
