Summary:
Before film made them international comedy legends, Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, and
Zeppo
Marx
developed their comic skills on stage for twenty-five years. A comprehensive history of the
Marx
Brother's hardscrabble early years honing their act in front of live audiences. From Groucho's debut in 1905 to their final live performances of scenes from A Night in Casablanca in 1945, Bader shows how their characters and routines evolved before their arrival in Hollywood, as well as illuminating the inner workings of the vaudeville business, especially during its peak in the 1920s.
