Most people are familiar with Groucho, but those who attend ``Minnie's Boys'' will learn other interesting - and hilarious - facts about the Marx brothers. For instance, Harpo was not a good speaker and decided early on that he could do a better job of stealing the scene without speaking. Chico, Minnie's favorite son, got his name from chasing ``chicks,'' and Zeppo was placed in the act to keep him from getting into fights. Those who have ever wondered where Chico got his accent, Groucho got his walk, Harpo got his smile, or how the Marx brothers got their start should see ``Minnie's Boys.''
