The Marx Brothers were an American family comedy act, that enjoyed success in Vaudeville, Broadway and motion pictures, from the early 1900s to around 1950. The core of the act was the three elder brothers, Chico, Harpo, and Groucho, each developed a highly distinctive stage persona. The on-stage personalities of Groucho, Chico and Harpo were said to have been based on their actual traits. Zeppo, on the other hand, was considered the funniest brother offstage, despite his straight stage roles. By the 1920s, the Marx Brothers had become one of America's favorite theatrical acts. With their sharp and bizarre sense of humor, they satirized high society and human hypocrisy. At a bridge game with Chico, Irving Thalberg began discussing the possibility of the Marxes coming to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, and they signed, now known as "The Three Marx Brothers," or simply "The Marx Bros."
