The Ritz Brothers were

an American comedy trio who performed extensively on stage, in nightclubs and

in films from 1925 to the late 1960s.

Although there were four brothers, the

sons of Austrian-born Jewish haberdasher Max Joachim and his wife Pauline, only three

of them performed together. There was also a sister, Gertrude.[1] The fourth brother, George, acted as their

manager. The performers were:

Al Ritz (August 27, 1901 – December 22,

1965)

Jimmy Ritz (October 4, 1904

– November 17, 1985)

Harry Ritz (May 22, 1907 –

March 29, 1986)

All three brothers were born in Newark, New Jersey. The

family name was Joachim (pronounced "jo-ACK-him", as Harry himself

explained on a Joe Franklin TV

interview), but eldest brother Al, a vaudeville dancer, adopted a new professional name after he saw the name "Ritz"

on the side of a laundry truck. Jimmy and Harry followed suit when the brothers

formed a team. The Ritzes emphasized precision dancing in their act, and added

comedy material as they went along. By the early 1930s they were stage

headliners.
