And if you have any favorite memories of Gummo, you're either really
old or knew him personally. <<

Or you've read Richard Anobile's "Marx Brothers Scrapbook". Gummo's son told
everyone in school he was Harpo's son because "Who's ever heard of Gummo
Marx?"

Then again from Joe Adamson's brilliant "Groucho, Harpo, Chico and sometimes
Zeppo" Gummo on Groucho having to undergo minor surgery "Groucho's surgery
is so minor that he even thought of doing it himself but couldn't find
anyone to hold the mirror" and on Groucho telling Gummo, his brother and
agent, "You know there are two Groucho Marxes", replied "How come I'm only
getting commission on one?"

LOL. You know, it's too bad Gummo didn't like performing because he
seemed very funny too. It must be in their genes.
