Harpo Marx

Arthur Marx , known professionally as Harpo Marx, was an American comedian, film star, mime artist and musician, and the secondoldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho and Chico, Harpos comic style was 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.

Harpo was born in New York City. He grew up in a neighborhood now known as Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The turnofthecentury building that Harpo called the first real home they ever knew was populated with European immigrants, mostly artisans160 which even included a glass blower. Just across the street were the oldest brownstones in the area, owned by people like the wellconnected Loew Brothers and William Orth.
