New question:
How many of you have at least one or more pictures/potsers on your
wall(s) of the Marx Bros.? I have the Duck Soup repro poster on my wall.

I have an elegantly framed copy of the 1932 Time magazine that featured the
boys on the cover. I've had the magazine for years and years just stored in
a plastic bag and finally decided to do something with it and it looks great
hanging on the wall now.

For reasons known only to Him, *bob* typed:

None, but I /do/ have a pencil sketch of Disney's Beast, drawn by one of the
animators who drew him for their "Beauty and the Beast", signed to me.

Oh, that, and a nicely framed large pic of Belle and Beast in their ball
costume, signed to me by Robbie Benson, the voice of the Beast.

Yep, bragging, shame on me. I shall now repent.

I don't have any posters, but I do have a calendar with vintage movie
posters (one is A Night at the Opera). I also have a scene from Monkey
Business as my desktop background on my computer (the brothers are
standing in the kegs labeled kippered herring. Plus...I have a cool
photo of Harpo on my blog.

Why that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! - Groucho

When I was a kid I had a poster with the whole Captain Spalding
monologue from Animal Crackers on it. I must have read that hundreds
of times.

When I was a kid I bought the Huge poster where the boys are smoking a
Turkish water pipe from a publicity still for "A Night In Casablanca.
That was in 1974. Where does time fly? I still have the poster!

In my study at home I have hung three framed
photos: One is of Harpo in his home at a piano; another
is of Chico playing a small piano; and the third has Chico, Harpo, Groucho,
Zeppo standing in front of a radio microphone, with Harpo adopting a
menacing pose
with the spray device that he wielded in "Animal Crackers." In my
daughter's bedroom hangs a
poster showing Groucho behind a coatrack, with
brothers Chico and Harpo "hanging" from the rack,
i.e., with coathangers in the sleeves of their jackets.

In my office at work I have a framed still from
"A Night at the Opera," which shows Groucho
selling peanuts, as the orchestra segues from
the overture of Verdi's "Il trovatore" to "Take Me out to the Ballgame."

In article <4836c89a$0$20165$4c36...@roadrunner.com>, bob says...

I have 3 repro posters that I had framed in the late 1970s (Cocoanuts, Animal
Crackers & Duck Soup). They hung in my various dorm rooms in college, my first
apartment and then my first home. All this moving beat up the frames somewhat
and they now hang in my bathroom (my wife isn't thrilled about it but they
aren't nice enough to hang anywhere else). I also have 4 real Abott and
Costello movie posters that hang in my living room.

Spike

P.S. I have some rerelease Marx Brothers Lobby Cards and the 1974 Animal
Crackers poster that I have yet to frame.

It doesn't stick too well to the padding....
