Actually, yes and no. It's from Capt. Spaulding in "Animal Crackers"

Is the picture an actual gate or just a nice painting on the wall?


Pretty sure that's a real gate with some very nice iron work.

I think that to most of us who remember them they were the Marx brothers no matter what name was used in the movies.
For some reason the Rufus Firefly named was easy for me to recall. Don't remember any of the names of the brothers.
Their names were distinctive enough.

I didn't make clear that I don't remember the names of the characters they played in the movies.

Stage Real justification

Groucho Julius Henry Allegedly because he was the "moody" one.
Harpo. Aurthur/Adolph. Played the harp
Chico. Leonard Joseph Chased the laddies (i.e. "chicks"
Gummo. Milton. He apparently wore rubber soled shoes
Zeppo. Herbert Manfred Play on a comedy routine Zeke and Zeb or because of zeppellins or a modification of a chimps name in a competing act

We had to name any computer connected to the internet and we encouraged the owners to select names that a) meant something to them and b) were somehow related to each other so we could easily identify systems associated with a particular lab. One of our labs was a teaching lab within the med school domain and the instructor selected the Marx brothers for his four systems but he used their real/given names.

Looks like someone got out of control with their electric drill and their Forstner bits, :lol: :lol: :lol:

But I do like it.....and would be nice it they'd make some sort of resin copy that could be put outside in the gardens - I'd get at least 1.

Might be a fun ingredient in a Halloween display, too.
