Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx 1 Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx Marie Ventura Introduction: a Transnational Trickster 1 In early autumn, 1933, New York critic Alexander Woollcott telephoned his friend Harpo Marx with a singular proposal. Having just learned that President Franklin Roosevelt was about to carry out his campaign promise to have the United States recognize the Soviet Union, Woollcott—a great friend and supporter of the Roosevelts, and Eleanor Roosevelt in particular—had decided “that Harpo Marx should be the first American artist to perform in Moscow after the US and the USSR become friendly nations” (Marx and Barber 297). “They’ll adore you,” Woollcott told him. “With a name like yours, how can you miss? Can’t you see the three-sheets? ‘Presenting Marx—In person’!” (Marx and Barber 297) 2 Harpo’s response, quite naturally, was a rather vehement: you’re crazy! The forty-four- year-old performer had no intention of going to Russia.1 In 1933, he was working in Hollywood as one of a family comedy team of four Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo.

EDWARD EZOR, ) OPINION AND ORDER ) A Member of the State Bar, No. 50469. ) ) This case illustrates the dire consequences an attorney may face when he allows financial self-interest to override his fiduciary responsibilities to a client. A. Edward Ezor appeals a hearing judge’s decision that he be disbarred for willful misappropriation and for failing to maintain funds in trust for an elderly, disabled client. Ezor concedes he did not maintain the required balance in his client trust account (CTA), but denies he misappropriated the funds. He insists that a single accounting error caused the deficiency. The judge rejected his explanation, finding it lacked credibility and supporting proof. After independently reviewing the record (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.12), we also reject Ezor’s explanation and find that he intentionally and dishonestly misappropriated $37,247.22. We affirm the hearing judge’s disbarment recommendation. I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND1 Ezor was admitted to the State Bar in 1972, and has no record of prior discipline. His misconduct arose out of his representation of Maxine Marx, a beneficiary of the estate of her late 1 We base the factual background on a pretrial Stipulation as to Facts and Admission of Documents, trial testimony, documentary evidence, and the hearing judge’s factual findings, which are entitled to great weight. (Rules Proc. of State Bar, rule 5.155(A).) In particular, we give considerable weight to the findings based on credibility evaluations.

An infinite inappropriateness. Continually learning.' The image of the elephant appears as a surprise or as an inappropriate occurrence, and its appearance indicates that one cannot rest easy in the conventional uses of language. Rather the poet must be in a state of continual "learning" discovering how language empowers some subjects and weakens others. As Bernstein writes in his essay, "Making Words Visible": "We all see words: signs of a language we live inside of.

From The Marx Brothers by William Wolf, Pyramid, Satire has always been a virtually dirty word in 1975: Hollywood. Anything that smacks of intellectualism has mostly been shunned by Duck Soup , the Marx Brothers’ last film for executives who find “entertainment” a more Paramount, looms as among the most important in magical word. Therefore, one must take with a their careers. It is a pivotal picture, which reveals grain of salt the protestations that Duck Soup was the social satire of which they were capable, and meant only to be funny, and that it was merely a seeing it again raises anew the question of why this case of finding a new environment for the routines avenue of expansion was closed to them. The of the brothers, who just happened to do a comedy picture is now a special favorite of Marx that spoofs sacred cows. This is not to say that aficionados and for very good reason. It is everything film buffs now read into the film was surrealistic comedy which neatly blends barbs at planned that way.

    Preston Sturges & the Marx Bros

    Preston Sturges & The Marx Bros. by Richard von Busack “Somebody said that all I needed for success in American life was a bass voice and a muscular handshake, so I seized producers with a powerful grip, looked piercingly into their eyes and asked them in my deepest tones if they doubted for a second if I could direct. “When they said, ‘no’, and I said, “Then when do I start,’ they said, “As soon as you’ve directed for anybody else.” Such was Preston Sturges’ dilemma in the late 1930s. He was one of the best-paid writers in Hollywood, where, as the saying went, you never saw so many unhappy people earning $100,000 a year. He had worked for Goldwyn, MGM and Universal, had writ- ten dialogue for kings and drum majorettes alike, and he was burning to direct. It was during this time that a script of Sturges’ titled “The Vagrant” was being pre- pared for filming. Sturges offered his services as director for the sum of $1. Paramount producer William LeBaron accepted the deal for $10 to make it more official. The script was retitled “The Great McGinty.” In parting, LeBaron warned the novice direc- tor that he’d be happier as a writer: “Shoemaker, stick to your last!” “You show me a man who sticks to his last, and I’ll show you a shoemaker,” Sturges thought to himself, on the staircase out of the office. So began the directing career of Preston Sturges. In a startlingly short rush of creative fervor, which chronologically paralleled the US’s most desperate years during World War II, Sturges directed seven peerless comedies.

What do you think about it? 4 months later, I arrived at the solution and, for your comfort, will begin to explain that there were 3 generations of Simon MARX Simon Marx (I ) 1804 oo Babet Weil Simon Marx (II) 1830 Hochfelden, Alsace -1901 Strasbourg, Alsace oo Adel Levi, alias Haennchen, Johanna Isaak 1839 Lorsch, Prussia-1910 Strasbourg Alsace Simon Marx (III) 1859 Mertzwiller Alsace -1933 Los Angeles, CA,, USA oo Minnie Schoenberg 1864 Dornum, Ostfrieseland, Prussia.- 1929 New York I will not explain in detail my lonely query, the main thing being the result. Thanks to Google, I began to search all that was published on the Marx Brothers and their parents, often leading to wrong tracks, as certain authors declared that the father was born in Alsace and sometimes in Strasbourg, after 1860. For that reason, I wasted my time in searching 1860 and later. First problem: the first name: Samuel or Simon ? In the questions-answers of Revue of the Cercle de Genealogie Juive, (n° 80 (still 2001!), 3470 and 4696): almost the same question: does somebody know something about?? On http://www.cineartistes.com I read: C’est à Strasbourg en Alsace que commence la saga de la famille Marx. En effet Simon, le futur père de Chico Marx (et des autres!) y voit le jour en 1861, dans le quartier juif de la ville.

    MAKING MEMORIES at the MOVIES - a Guide to Watch at Home

    MAKING MEMORIES AT THE MOVIES - A Guide to Watch at Home Day & Night, Night & Day All films in this program have something in common: Either movie title or lead song has the word Day or Night in them! Do you recall seeing these films? Let’s spark some memories! #1 Night and Day is a 1946 Technicolor Warner Bros. biographical and musical film starring Cary Grant as American composer and songwriter Cole Porter. The film features several of the best-known Porter songs, including the title song "Night and Day," "Begin the Beguine" and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." Alexis Smith plays Linda Lee Porter, Porter's wife of 35 years. Monty Woolley and Mary Martin appear as themselves, and the rest of the cast includes Jane Wyman, Eve Arden, Alan Hale, Dorothy Malone, Donald Woods, and Ginny Simms. Theme: Roughly covering the years 1912 to 1946, the story begins during Porter's undergraduate days at Yale University. When his first stage show fails, songwriter Cole Porter (Cary Grant) goes off to fight in World War I until, injured, he lands in a hospital. He impresses nurse Linda Lee (Alexis Smith) with his creativity, but their budding romance must wait as Cole heads home. Focusing his attentions on Broadway and the London stage in the postwar years, Porter pens an unbroken string of hit songs, including "Just One of Those Things," "You're the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Begin the Beguine," and “Day and Night”. We join the movie after Porter has been injured, sees Linda Lee again in the hospital and famously writes Night and Day.
