As a young [[Jew]] growing up in [[Manhattan]], Julius Marx and his four brothers — Leonard (Chico), Arthur (Harpo), Milton (Gummo), and Herbert (Zeppo) — followed their uncle's footsteps into [[vaudeville]]. Each brother developed a [[characteristic]] stage persona; for example, Groucho wore a greasepaint [[mustache]] and smoked a fat [[cigar]] in imitation of a college professor, while Harpo rarely said anything except through a [[horn]]. Chico's stage persona was that of an [[Itali]]an immigrant. Chico's "ancestry" became a running gag in the Marx Brothers' act. For example, at one point in the film ''Animal Crackers'' Groucho turns to Chico and asks, "When did you become Italian?".
