@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 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.

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.
