Hear The Voice Of Harpo Marx!

Man, I've been looking for this forever. I knew there was at least one recording of Harpo talking. I finally found it on YouTube. In fact two of them. In the first one he says to the man next to him, "You've got to do the talk now", and at the end he leans into the mic and says, "Honk, honk," but you also get to see him dressed nice and without his wig.



In the second one, we get to hear him talk a bit, but it's audio only, so we can't see him. He has the voice of a leading man. I can see why it might not work in a comedy though, so it was probably better that he stayed a mime. His son, by the way, introduces the clip. His name is Bill Marx.
