America After Dark 5

Another Allan Grant photo, taken at the Civic Playhouse. Variations on this photo: I've seen a version where Gummo is cruelly cropped out, another where the photo is damaged at the top center, and another where the imperfection has been electronically repaired.

Five Marx Brothers part two

Harpo, Zeppo, Chico, Gummo, Groucho. California, 1938. Photo by Peter Stackpole. Harpo seems to enjoy being a snappy dresser, perhaps to let people know he isn't his on-screen character. Nobody else could be bothered to wear a tie. Groucho looks less than excited to be there.

Another pose from this session, dressed the same except Chico has removed his jacket:

 Another Tonight!: America After Dark photo. The man on the far left might be Jack Lescoulie. Maybe.

This photo appears to have been taken during the interview itself, rather than before or after. Why? Aside from the possible interviewer on the left, the microphone is being passed around, and Harpo is in character: He's whistling, probably as a substitute for saying something.

Of all the photos of this interview, this one gives the widest view of this cloak room... or is it a dressing room? There's a mirror on the wall. Yeah, it's a dressing room. Behind Groucho is a sign advertising the play Chico is promoting.

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.
