The photo of the Six Brown Brothers in clown costumes, etc., is a fairly well known publicity shot and appears on a number of sheet music covers of the period.

I have a piece of sheet music on the wall in my office here of the Six Brown Brothers. 
It's from 1921 - song is "Finders is Keepers (and I Found You)" but the 
fascinating thing is that each of the members of the group is holding a different sized 
saxophone. All are dressed in clown outfits, with in blackface. The saxes get 
progressively bigger as you go from left to right: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, 
and contra bass. Neat picture.
