Hi fellow MB freaks! I invite you to enjoy my new master class on the music of Chico and Harpo. Free, hilarious, and very educational! Type in "Dave Frank" Marx on Youtube.
they could mimmick each other so well that in the making of horse feather groucho had appende cidis and chico put on his make up and wardrobe and finished the fil as both characters
The Marx Brothers childhood home in New York is in danger of demolition.
Please go to the MarxBrothersPlace You Tube channel to see a video where "Harpo" tells you how you can help by signing two petitions and sending an email cut and paste letter to the powers that be.
From the set, it looks like it was from "Animal Crackers." That's the one where Groucho was Captain Spaulding. It's from 1930, so it's a rather early two-strip Technicolor, Multicolor, or Cinecolor.
if theres any cofusion between crazy and zany the marx bros. are definitely insane in the very most lovable way the jokers you love to hate such antagonists grocho was the most famous but i think harpo is a mad genious needless to say i kind of like the marx bros.
i know...but if we brought it back we could have more fun then just having to watch Brodway or Pictures...then again vaudvill now days is kindof High school acts and community musicals..lol
I have always loved these guys since I was a kid in particular Groucho Marx... much copied but never ever equalled. What talent. Best scenes for me are whenever he is flirting with Mrs. Margaret Dumont.
Apparently Margarat Dumont did not understand many of the jokes, but she went along anyway. I guess she could trust in the brilliance of their lunacy.
Disorganized, but could be wonderful if cleaned up. Cut out all the ratty movie clips, rearrange the stills, and end with the fantastic rare shot of Gummo taking a curtain call!
It looks like Gummo, but I think that's Harpo, without his wig, in a test shot for Technicolor during the filming of 'Animal Crackers'. India has put the finished version of the same scene right after it. Wish it was Gummo though, it'd be great to see him!
Yes, I think you're right, it's Harpo. It was just wishful thinking, but I read that Gummo left the act after returning from WWI -- isn't that what it was? The five boys all looked a lot alike. There was also an older brother, Manfred, who died in infancy. Imagine all six of them on the stage at once!
When we combine Groucho's facetiousness with the slap stick stuff,never will we see any group come even close to the Marx Brothers overall brilliant madcap humor.
Great job. Thanks for including Harpo's incredible playing.

when in doubt, ask yourself "What would Harpo do?" Of course, this might not improve the situation...

No, but it will at least make someone laugh. Especially if you have a friend willing to fill in a chico or groucho-esque line

Never again. Brilliant, unimitatable, born out of vaudeville and the penny arcade.
I love the repartee between Chico and Groucho each trying to outdo the other in one-liner one upmanship!! Priceless.
