Wow, I never put it together that Sam and Minnie's passings more or less bookend the boys' run with Paramount. Amazing documentary! Makes me miss New York. :)
The Marx family was Jewish. The people on that particular trip of the General Slocum were predominantly Lutheran; the event was organized by a particular church north of the Lower East Side (which today is a synagogue; but it retains the plaque the church made in memory of those who perished on the General Slocum). It's very unlikely that any Marx family members (or Jews in general) would have been involved with the church and the General Slocum fire.
Your reasoning is sound, but the Times reported on June 16, 1904 that "while most of [the excursion tickets] undoubtedly went to German Lutherans, not a few were held by others. Among the excursionists was a scattering of Jews, Italians, and others." timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/06/16/100471798.html And young Groucho's gig singing in an Episcopalian church around this time tells us that the Marxes were perfectly comfortable with a little intercultural mingling.
Who's bright idea was it to wear face diapers in this documentary? Couldn't they have removed then when they were on camera? (I guess they were too scared.)
Well, this was produced during the spring and summer of 2020, when all of humanity was in the throes of a global pandemic which claimed around three million lives in its first year. Maybe you missed it. New York City hospitals were beyond capacity; there was a makeshift morgue in Central Park. Two people close to this project had recently died of covid. So yes, we followed the advice of every credible medical authority and wore facemasks, not just to protect against infection while filming, but also to demonstrate decent and conscientious behavior for anyone watching.
