America After Dark

Gummo, Zeppo, Chico, Groucho, Harpo
Chico's wearing stage makeup, but many people assume he's pale because he's old and ill. They're posed in, of all places, a coat room in a theater. This photo was taken when the Marx Brothers appeared on Tonight!: America After Dark, which was in The Tonight Show timeslot until Jack Paar arrived. There are several other photos from this session; this is the most familiar one because it was distributed to newspapers to promote America After Dark.
