Actually, Groucho was the snotty nosed little brother. Chico is the one that loaded up the family and took them places. Harpo was the one who painted a picture of a nude woman for a week and then showed her a picture of a banana. Chico would get a job in a nightclub playing the piano until he got bored. He then handed the job over to Harpo who only knew how to play one song but in many versions. He would play until they caught on and fired him.

@@johnvoice815 Groucho and all his brothers played multiple instruments. Their mother, Minnie, made sure they learned and excelled in as many areas as possible, training them for a career in vaudeville. Little did she know at the time how far they would go on their massive individual and collective talents. Love 'em 🥰 p.s. amazing how much one can learn and DO sans "technology:" no screens, no internet, no computers, just lots and lots of effort and motivation ✨🏆

sometimes professors teach you the wrong way or you get yourself mystified; playing the piano is tricky, as the case in many arts, but it's actually not supposed to be hard, if you find the way to do it (nothing can be obtained forcefully); childrem usually learn things quite naturally if they are really musical, and if a professor is able to lead and support them;

@@AlessandroZir very true Alessandro, but no professor would ever teach the kind of gymnastics that Chico does with his hands. You can only imagine what he would say to his student who was doing that. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure he took lessons. They were dirt poor. It's hard to believe they would have afforded it. I guess he must have somewhere. Still, just so much fun to watch. I remember as a kid taking piano lessons thinking to myself I wonder if I could do that and every time I tried it just never worked.

She was in her dressing room and flowers were delivered to her. Groucho said he could tell she had sent them to herself..I think she died almost penniless if memory serves...very bittersweet...find the books if you can, most may be out of print, but, most libraries can put in a call to other libraries for copies...I laughed and laughed at the stories he told.

This stuff she don't understand any of the jokes is malarkey. You can see her sometimes suppressing a laugh. He said she asked him to explain the joke about fighting for a woman's honor. That hardly means she didn't understand sny of them as Groucho claimed.

Groucho loved Maggie Dumont. When she auditioned he didn't tell her that they had a comedy act, and they never rehearsed together. So when Maggie came on stage in the middle of some fandango her deadpan expressions and roll of the eyes was natural; it took her a while to realize who these guys were. The four rarely separated.

We sometimes that in addition to being a supremely talented harpist, Harpo could also play piano - as a "messing-around" instrument - and play it quite well. Also, nobody played piano with quite the same style as Chico.

When Groucho was still alive in the early 70s, I had a college roommate who actually got me even more into Minnie's Boys. He went to southern CA and went by Groucho's house to get a "Lobby Card" from Duck Soup autographed. Someone answered the door and told Dale that Groucho was entertaining guests in the back yard. Dale figured he would likely lose the lobby card but he gave the guy the card and wrote Groucho a note telling him what a huge fan he was and gave him his address. Sometime later he did in fact receive a typed response and his lobby card back. The letter started out, "you call yourself a huge fan.................. Groucho went on to explain that Dale couldn't have been a real fan or he would have crashed the party, saved Groucho and gotten a signed lobby card. He went on to say that Dale didn't deserve the lobby card autographed and signed his name to that letter.
