“Most People Wearing Groucho Marx Glasses”
On July 21, 4,436 Groucho Marx lookalikes donned plastic noses while watching the Grant Park Outdoor Film Fesitval’s showing of “Duck Soup.” This promotional event for the Goodman Theater’s revival of “Animal Crackers” smashed the previously held world record set by the good people of Springfield, Missouri. Ironically, the real Groucho once quipped he would never join a club that would have anyone like him for a member… let alone 4,000 hims.
