Can't identify the trainer, but the four guys on top look like Zeppo, Groucho, Harpo and Chico! ~frank

Frank: You're not old enough to remember Zeppo.

There was also a Gummo 'way back.

Gummo headed up a theatrical agency with Zeppo and when that had run its course he became a Hollywood agent with Groucho as his primary client. Gummo was the nickname given him by his brothers, not because he always chewed gum, but because he liked sneaking uo on people, like a 'gum-shoe'. ~frank

Harpo/Adolph* 1888 75
Groucho/Julius 1890 86
Gummo/Milton 1893 83

The boys all lived into 'a ripe old age' Groucho & Gummo died within four months of each other.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.
