Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know. -- Groucho

10. Gummo Marx's Life Story

Born: Oct 23, 1892
Died: April 21, 1977

Gummo Marx was the fifth son of Minnie and Sam Marx. While the census of 1900 gives 1892 as his birth year, on his death certificate and his grave the year 1893 is given.

He is the Marx Brother that is almost forgotten by the fans. The reason for this is that Gummo had stopped performing with the boys before they became stars on Broadway. He and Groucho were the original performers in the family, both appearing in an act known as the Three Nightingales. Actually Gummo was the first of the boys to be on the stage. He appeared with his Uncle Julius in a ventriloquism act.

When Gummo joined the army he was replaced on stage by Zeppo. Gummo went into business selling dresses and cloth after the war and continued at it until he was lured back to show business. Not as a performer but as a partner in a talent agency. He managed his brothers for years and made a good name for himself as an agent.
