Never mind Chaplin, maybe MI5 can fill us in on who the usurper in the whitey hut is.
No, actually, Israel Thornstein was Elvis Presley’s manager “Colonel” Tom Parker.
Harpo speaks
That is the very video I watched. (Listened to. :) )
Go to Amazon and put in for “Harpo Speaks.” They are selling used copies for as low as $5 (and maybe even lower, I didn’t search that hard). It’s a really fun book and considered the best of all the Marx Brother histories.
Yeah, I always thought Harpo would talk just like Groucho. New Yorkese. I know that growing up they spoke Platt Deutche - their parents were immigrants from Alsace Lorraine, I believe. It may have belonged to Germany in those days...
