Harpo Marx
Arthur "
Harpo"
Marx (born
Adolph Marx; November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964) was an American comedian and
harpist, 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 visual, being an example of
vaudeville,
clown and
pantomime traditions. In all of his movie appearances, he wore a curly reddish blonde wig and did not speak, instead blowing a horn or whistling to communicate. Marx frequently employed
props such as a horn cane constructed from a lead pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn.
