The Marx brothers: Harpo, Zeppo, Chico, and Groucho, in Animal Crackers, dressed as musketeers, 1928, at the 44th St. Theater. Book by George S. Kaufman & Morrie Ryskind. Music & lyrics by Bert Kolmar and Harry Ruby. Costumes by Mabel Johnston. Set by Raymond Sovey.

Margaret Dumont was also in the cast and, in the ensemble, a young dancer named Hermes Pan, who would go on to choreograph many of Fred Astaire's movies. The show ran for 191 performances, which in those days meant it was a great hit.
