Harpo and Chico Marx recreated the silverware gag from ANIMAL CRACKERS on THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR on NBC on this date in 1952.
Cutlery was strategically loaded into Harpo’s coat by his son Bill, who became Harpo's prop man at age 12.
"He had faith in me when I was very young," Bill said. "He was a great man."
Happy birthday Leonard Joseph "Chico" Marx (b. 3/22/1887, eldest of the Marx Brothers)!
Why Lacan Loved Harpo Marx
"Harpo is an automatic object-machine that converts both the world and himself into a polymorphously perverse source of jouissance.”
Harpo Marx
US , 1888-1964
Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers.
Remembered for his delicate vaudeville, clown and pantomime in the Marx Brothers-movies.
The eternal nuisance, driving people mad with his honk-honk horn, never speaking.
Calm father in real life, cherishing his adopted children and his harps.
Loved to play them as self-educated harpist.

Habeas Irish Rose comment by Groucho is referencing "Abie's Irish Rose", an extremely popular play about a Jewish man and Irish Woman's relationship. Popular as the "East Lynne" play for decades.
