  • Al Shean (May 12, 1868, Dornum, Germany - August 12, 1949, New York City) was the stage name for comedian Albert Schönberg. He is most remembered for being half of the vaudeville team Gallagher and Shean, and as the uncle of the Marx Brothers. Schönberg's father was a magician. His sister, Minnie, married Sam "Frenchie" Marx, whose children would become the Marx Brothers. After making a name for himself in vaudeville, Shean teamed up with Edward Gallagher to create the act Gallagher and Shean. While the act was successful, the men apparently did not like each other much. Shean went on to some solo roles, including portraying a priest in the film Hitler's Madman and as the grandfather in The Blue Bird, and some three dozen other films. He and Gallagher also made an early sound film at the Theodore Case studio in Auburn, New York in 1925.

  • Al Shean (* 12. Mai 1868 in Dornum, Ostfriesland; † 12. August 1949) war der Künstlername des US-amerikanisch-deutschen Komödianten Albert Schönberg. Er war der Bruder von Minnie Marx, der Mutter der Marx-Brothers. Mit seiner Hilfe gelangten die fünf Brüder ins Showgeschäft. Nachdem er sich im Vaudeville-Theater einen Namen gemacht hatte formte er zusammen mit Edward Gallagher das Duo Gallagher and Shean. Obwohl sie zusammen sehr erfolgreich waren, bestanden zwischen den beiden keine großen Sympathien. (de)
  • Al Shean (f. 12. mai 1868 i Tyskland – 12. august 1949) var scenenavnet til den amerikanske komikeren Albert Schönberg. Schönbergs far var tryllekunstner. Hans søster Minnie Schönberg giftet seg med Simon «Frenchie» Marx og deres barn ble siden kjent som de berømte Brødrene Marx. Etter å ha skapt et navn for seg selv i vaudeville slo Shean seg sammen med Edward Gallagher og dannet duoen Gallagher & Shean. Selv om duoen hadde en viss suksess hadde de to mindre hell med å samarbeide og være venner, men jobbet sammen i løpet av 1910-tallet og 1920-tallet i vaudeville og på Broadway. De er mest kjent for deres kjenningsmelodi «Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean» som ble en slager i 1922. Sangen var skrevet for dem av Bryan Foy, sønn av Eddie Foy. De hadde deres første opptreden sammen på turnen «The Rose Maid» i 1912, men kranglet og gikk fra hverandre to år etter. De kom sammen igjen i 1920 etter overtalelser fra Sheans søster Minnie Marx, og holdt da sammen til 1925. Sheans sønn, også kalt for Al Shean, arbeidet i showene «The Rocky» og «Bullwinkle». (no)
