Mr. Green's Reception

Mr. Green's Reception (1913)

Gummo (and his ears) are in the center of the top row. Chico (and his hair) are second from the left in the middle row. Groucho (and his newsboy cap) are between two women on the right of the middle row. Harpo (and his thick but receding hair) are kneeling on the front left.

Monkey Business was evidently based on two routines the Marx Brothers did during their early days in vaudeville (Home Again and Mr. Green's Reception), along with a story idea from one of Groucho's friends, Bert Granet, called The Seas Are Wet.

No idea where this photo was taken. The show played the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville Tennessee, among other places.
