  • The Brothers Marx - Performing Strongmen

  • The Brothers MarxThe Brothers Marx

    John Grunn Marx and his brother Aloysius used to perform together as "The Brothers Marx" - American Gladiators, The Strongest Men Living.

    (It was actually brother Al who taught John Grunn the strongman trade.)

    As this oldtime strongman poster indicates, their act consisted of the lifting of large globe dumbbells, kettlebells and various supporting feats... And as also indicated on the poster, their apparati was available for inspection.
