Zeppo Marx quits brothers comedy act...



Item # 639728

March 30, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 30, 1934

* Zeppo Marx of the Marx Brothers
* Quits family comedy act (1st report)


Page 26 has a small and somewhat discrete article headed: "Zeppo Marx Quits Stage" "Youngest of Four Brothers Will Start in Hollywood Business" (see) Unfortunate for the brief report here, but still a first report on this famous comical act. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
