Woollcott did not meet the Marx Brothers until the premiere of I'll Say She Is, which was their first Broadway show, so this would mean that they used their real names throughout their vaudeville days, and that the name "Gummo" never appeared in print during his time in the act.
Eftersom Woollcott inte träffade Bröderna Marx förrän premiären på I'll Say She Is, som var deras första Broadwayshow, skulle detta innebära att de använde sina riktiga namn under vaudevilletiden, och att namnet "Gummo" aldrig förekom i tryck under hans tid i gruppen.
