        Another example of the Marx Bros. shifting ages? Wasn't Groucho born in 1890?

        I understand the rationale of inc. citizenship status on a draft registration card in wartime. But to see racism this blatant is still...1/

        I had the same reaction... Didn't know he had a connection to Chicago. And was it called Grand Blvd then? It's Grand Ave now, right?

        I guess it was, which is something else I didn't know. It is Grand Ave. now and I grew up not too far from that address.
