  • ultra rare and very interesting! see also "harpo laughs". sounds alot like chico, actually....

  • The first time I heard Harpo speak was on tv watching a full re-broadcast of the Ed Murrow interview. At the conclusion Ed (from the studio) says goodbye to Harpo, his wife, and their son. As the trio waves "bye"at the camera...one can hear all three of them say "byyyyyyeeeee" - including Harpo. A little slip since he was so intent on beingsilent during the whole thing.

  • @49bobbyk Harpo and Alexander Woollcott, really? Where or when did Groucho confirm this?

  • harpo has a horrible radio voice...get it...

    he never talks... aw screw you guys

  • Woollcott and Harpo were supposed to have had an affair according to Groucho. My mother knew a woman who took harp lessons from him. She said that he was a wonderful person.

  • The man with Harpo is critic Alexander Woollcott, who was a critic for New Yorker magazine. Woollcott and marx were members of the Aloquin Round Table, a sort of think tank of writers, critics, and celebrities.

  • i dont know whether i want to listen to this or not???

    what do you guys think, should i do it? :S

  • This footage was not used in"The Unknown Marx Brothers"

    tv documentary.

  • This was newsreel footage taken outside of NYC's

    Criterion Movie Theater in 1936.When "The Great Zigfeld"premired.The man interviewing Mr.Harpo Marx was

    CBS Radio newsman Ted Husing.

  • I tried to get a friend to watch this but she refuses, lol. She wants to keep the magic alive so to speak. ;)

    I told her how Harpo sounded though, and she was quite surprised. She expected him to have a higher voice, judging by his screen persona.

  • he says "You gotta do the talkin' on the air"

  • It sounds like: you gotta do d talkin t d mike!
