I love this story about the Marx Brothers and it does help to understand their zany behaviour on stage.
'For years the Marx brothers toured America with a vaudeville act. Although they were well into their
twenties, their mother, Minnie, continued to buy half fare tickets for them with instructions to tell the
conductor that they were 13. One suspicious train official approached Minnie and complained that one
of her 'young' boys was smoking a cigar in the dining-car, while the other was shaving.
Apparently she sighed, saying, 'Don't they grow up fast?'
