#3: Forms Four Nightingales with Brothers (1909)
In 1909, Julius joined his brothers to form the Four Nightingales, a singing group with Harpo, Chico, and Gummo; though Gummo soon stepped off stage temporarily. They performed in local venues, mostly working-class neighborhoods, blending harmonized songs with light comedy. This early experience taught Julius how to coordinate with his siblings and test routines, laying the groundwork for the fast-paced teamwork that would define the Marx Brothers’ later shows.
