Manfred's death certificate

[edit]

[…]but Manfred can be verified: a death certificate of the Borough of Manhattan reveals that he died, aged seven months, on 17 July 1886 [SNIP]

Did the Borough of Manhattan exist then? The City of New York wasn't consolidated until 1898. —⁠71.105.198.152 (talk) 18:39, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stats table in first section

[edit]

The blocky table of names, marriages and birth/death dates looks out of place here, the article jumping from the family's very early days to saying how Chico died in 1961. Should we break this out into text? I'm not sure we even need to mention exact dates of marriages and divorces, in an article about the entire comedy group. They all have their own articles which go into greater personal detail. --Lord Belbury (talk) 15:20, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

20th century entertainment history

[edit]

I wish there were a bit more discussion about the transition from vaudeville to Broadway to film- the Marx Brothers role in each seems to coincide with its significance in American culture. And Broadway is neglected. Only by inference did I conclude that Animal Crackers originated on Broadway. Anything else? Or more significantly, any Broadway shows that never made it to film? 2600:1700:E4C0:1BA0:9084:5EFE:E6F9:5688 (talk) 18:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
