Marx Brothers: The Classic Hollywood article in the Aug. 10 Calendar section about a new Marx Brothers DVD box set said Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Gummo got their nicknames at the Orpheum theater in Galesburg, Ill. That likely happened at the Gaiety or Auditorium theaters but not at the Orpheum, which hadn’t been built at that time. The article also misspelled Galesburg as Galesberg.
New conductor: A review in the Aug. 9 Calendar section of a concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla said that Grazinyte-Tyla was not scheduled to conduct any subscription concerts during the Phil’s upcoming season. Grazinyte-Tyla will lead the orchestra at Walt Disney Concert Hall on March 1, which is a subscription concert.
