Harpo Marx Quotes

Harpo Marx — American Comedian born on November 23, 1888, died on September 28, 1964

Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian, film star, mime artist and musician, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly-verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho and Chico, Harpo's comic style was exclusively visual, being an example of both clown and pantomime traditions. He wore a curly reddish blonde wig, and never spoke during performances. He frequently used props such as a horn cane, made up of a lead pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn, and he played the harp in most of his films... (wikipedia)

In 1944 James Arthur and Minnie Susan were added to the Marx household.

Harpo, she's a lovely person. She deserves a good husband. Marry her before she finds one.

Susan, an only child who never had any roots, and I, a lone wolf who got married 20 years to late, were adopted by the kids as much as they were by us.

I was the same kind of father as I was a harpist - I played by ear.

In the house in Beverly Hills where our four children grew up, living conditions were a few thousand times improved over the old tenement on New York's East 93rd Street we Marx Brothers called home.
