The Engels Brothers

The Engels Brothers are a common cultural icon in the United States. They are a group of actual brothers who perform comedy while wearing beards of different colors as props.

The Engels brothers apparently served in the 1914-1917 war in the trenches (Chester Martin noted reflexes in their vaudeville act which indicated so), and then became a vaudeville act in the United States. They have appeared in movies and recorded an anti-Confederate novelty song, "Featherston's Follies."
