As a member of The Marx Brothers, Harpo Marx had delighted film goers for years with his zany and slapstick humour, usually recognizable by the fact that he never spoke in any of the films, relying on nonverbal ways to communicate, and his harp playing, which occurred in just about every film!

Arthur "Harpo" Marx (born Adolph Marx; November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964) was an American comedian, actor, mime artist, and musician, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho Marx and Chico Marx, Harpo's 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 blew a horn or whistled to communicate)
