Item 1.                                Security and Issuer
This Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock,” together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) of Teton Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Teton”).  The address of the principal executive offices of Teton is One Corporate Center,  Rye, New York 10580-1435.

Item 2.                                Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J.

The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than 5% of a class of a particular issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

(d), (e), and (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

Item 3.                                Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
In December 2001, GBL purchased 30,970 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $5 per share in connection with the exercise of warrants held by GBL, for a total amount of $154,850.  In December 2001, MJG-IV purchased 21,152 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $5 per share, in connection with the exercise of warrants held by MJG-IV, for a total amount of $105,760.  In addition, on February 5, 2009, MJG-IV converted 279,200 shares of Class B Common Stock into 279,200 shares of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the conversion rights of the Class B Common Stock.

Item 4.                                Purpose of Transaction
 
In November 2007, GBL stockholders approved a spin-off (the “Spin-off”) subject to approval by GBL’s Board, in which GBL will spin-off all of the shares of Class B Common Stock of Teton held by GBL pro rata to GBL’s stockholders.  In November 2008, GBL’s Board approved the Spin-off.  GBL will not spin-off the 30,970 shares of Class A Common Stock it owns to its shareholders.
Each of the Reporting Persons has purchased and holds the Common Stock reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over which it has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own account, or both.
The Reporting Persons are engaged in the business of securities analysis and investment and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying undervalued situations.  In pursuing this investment philosophy, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest, including Teton, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).  As a result of these analytical activities one or more of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports, participate in interviews or hold discussions with third parties or with management in which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder values.  Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses, selling the company or acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the company’s capitalization or dividend policy.
Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the foregoing investment philosophy with respect to Teton.   Any Reporting Person that is registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act will participate in such a transaction only following receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule 17d-1 under the 1940 Act, if required, and in accordance with other applicable law.  In pursuing this investment philosophy, each Reporting Person will continuously assess Teton’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for Teton’s securities in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities, as well as the investment objectives and diversification requirements of its shareholders or clients and its fiduciary duties to such shareholders or clients.  Depending on such assessments, one or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Common Stock or other securities or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of Common Stock.  Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic investment philosophy and although most portfolio decisions are made by or under the supervision of Mario Gabelli, the investment objectives and diversification requirements of various clients differ from those of other clients so that one or more Reporting Persons may be acquiring Common Stock while others are disposing of Common Stock.
With respect to voting of Common Stock, the Reporting Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on specified issues affecting corporate governance and shareholder values.  Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally vote all securities over which they have voting power in favor of cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one share one vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights and against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check preferred stock and super-dilutive stock options.  Exceptions may be made when management otherwise demonstrates superior sensitivity to the needs of shareholders.  In the event that the aggregate voting position of all joint filers shall exceed 25% of the total voting position of Teton then the proxy voting committees of each of the Funds shall vote their Fund’s shares independently.
Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has purchased the Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by him for investment for his own account or that of one or more members of his immediate family.  Each such person may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the Common Stock reported herein with respect to him.
Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons and none of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.                                Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a), (b)                      On February 9, 2009, the Form 10 Teton filed in connection with the Spin-off was automatically declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On February 9, 2009, GBL beneficially owned 30,970 shares of Class A Common Stock and 408,800 shares of Class B Common Stock of Teton and MJG-IV beneficially owned 300,352 shares of Class A Common Stock of Teton.   As of February 9, 2009, there were 626,594 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 416,800 shares of Class B Common Stock.  Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation of Teton, the Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time into Class A Common Stock at a one to one ratio. The Reporting Persons then beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock as follows:
