What colour was Sir Harpo Newton's wig?
Harpo's rather sweet appearance in The Story of Mankind lends further weight to the suggestion that his 'blonde wig' may have been light red, as opposed to the preferred red wig he wore on stage (seen looking almost black in The Cocoanuts and photos of the Day at the Races stage try-outs).
Or is he just taking advantage of colour film to get the old red one out of the box again and it's photographed a bit lighter in colour than it looks in black and white? If you turn down the colour on this clip, it could pass for the 'blonde' wig, familiar from the majority of the movies.
Or it could be a third wig, did you think of that?
On the other hand, the almost glowingly blonde one he seems to be wearing in fifties TV appearances (and A Night In Casablanca, but we can save that argument for another day) really is blonde, isn't it?
So that's four wigs. Do I hear five?

To say "Five" would be hair-raising.
І like thе valuable infο you supplу on
your аrtісles. I'll bookmark your blog and check once more right here frequently. I am slightly sure I will be told plenty of new stuff proper right here! Good luck for the next!
Here is my web blog : A3 Paper
Thanks! So long as you're slightly sure, that's okay with me.
Love your site too. It's one thing to have a website about paper. Anyone can do that. But to have one specifically on A3 paper is wonderful. I only hope more Marx Brothers fans follow your link and enjoy it as much as I have.
That is a sweet appearance. Btw at 1:07 and 1:08 you can see how much he looks like Chico. Of course it's not news that the brothers all looked very much alike. But I still insist there is a resemblance.
Tony Martin has died. He's not exactly Allan Jones, but how many romantic leads from Marx Brothers movies can there be left?
Exactly, and to my shame, I didn't realise he even was still around until he weren't no more.
I'll put up the Tenement Symphony as a tribute.
Are you on Facebook, by the way? We were blubbing late into last night there.
I am the last human being not on Facebook. Sounds like it could be fun, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
My friends email me, which has always felt sufficient. The rest of the world can write a comment on my blog, I guess.
I was the second last and felt exactly the same way.
But it's like emailing lots of people at the same time, and they all chip in on each other's emails as you go.
I have to admit it's fun.
Tony tribute just going up here now...
Good write-up. I definitely love this site. Keep it up
