Four of the Three Musketeers: The Marx Brothers on Stage

"In Four of the Three Musketeers Robert S. Bader shows that Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo had nothing on Minnie Marx--the booster, nag and agent who set them on their way to fame." --Wall Street Journal "A book that no devoted Marx Brothers fan should be without... Four of the Three Musketeers is a fascinating, indispensable book that details the evolution of one of the greatest comedy teams as they went through a long, bumpy trial by fire." --Montreal Times "I have read virtually every book ever published about the Marx Brothers. I have even written about them myself. Robert Bader's book is a revelation." --Leonard Maltin, author of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide and The Great Movie Comedians "In discussing the brothers' personal and professional accomplishments, Bader gives each man his due individual and group justice. Dozens of good books have been written on these brothers...and Bader's rich volume joins those." --CHOICE "A new benchmark in Marx scholarship." --Los Angeles Times "As far as I'm concerned, the Marx Brothers practically invented comedy. And I love this great new book about them by Robert Bader!" --Jerry Seinfeld "Who would have dreamed that there could be much, much more to learn in still another book about the Marx Brothers? Not I. And yet, Robert Bader--focusing on the under-researched vaudeville days of the hilarious siblings--has gone where no man went before, discovering a treasure trove of Marxiana to delight the hearts and minds of those of us who can never get enough." --Dick Cavett
