Monkey business : the lives and legends of the Marx Brothers : Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo with added Gummo
"First and foremost, this is the saga of a family whose theatrical roots stretch back to mid-19th-century Germany, and whose American debut was prefigured by their maternal uncle, vaudeville pioneer Al Shean. From Julius 'Groucho' Marx's first warblings with the singing Leroy Trio, this book brings to life the vanished world of America's wild and boisterous variety circuits, leading to the Marx Brothers' Broadway successes, and their alliance with New York's theatrical lions, George S. Kaufman and the 'Algonquin Round Table'."--Jacket
