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.

  • Samson and Delilah
    SAMSON AND DELILAH USA 1948 131 minutes Director Cecil B. De Mille Writers Fredric M Frank; Vladimir Jabotinsky; Harold Lane; Jesse Lasky Jr Music Victor Young Cinematography George Barnes Dewey Wrigley (holy land photography) Cast Samson Victor Mature Miriam Olive Deering Delilah Hedy Lamarr Hazel Fay Holden Semadar Angela Lansbury Haisham Julia Faye Prince Ahtur Henry Wilcoxon Saul Russ Tamblyn I have fond memories of this film as one shown on the Saturday Night at the Movies spot, when I was much younger. The feats of strength of Samson were most impressive to a callow youth unaware of the tricks of the movie industry! Samson and Delilah, is an enjoyable romp, which both stars appear to have relished. Whilst not a profound film, it is a fitting tribute to two stars who were interesting individuals at a period when the studios ruled the lives of their contracted stars extremely closely. Cecil B De Mille directed the film, and it is of course one of the numerous spectacularly lavish and colourful biblical epics he made. Another reason for selecting this film was simply to show that our Committee has a good sense of humour and does not consider itself too seriously! ************************************* Hedy Lamarr passed away on 19 January 2000. In this film, she was an impressive attraction to any young teenager. Her allure was heightened by the startling news of her early nude acting role. Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna on 9 November 1914, she enrolled in Max Reinhardt’s acting school and he was so convinced of her potential that he took her on as a personal pupil.

L A V ER D AD E RA HISTORIA DE LOS HERMANOS MARX Presentación ¿Es este mundo absurdo? ¿Y aquél ? ¿Es verdadera la historia que conocemos? ¿O la verdad es que la verda - dera historia es mentira? ¿Sería hora de contar real - mente cómo fueron las cosas, caiga quien caiga, o será mejor reconocer que no tenemos ni idea? ¿Quiénes somos? ¿A dónde vamos? Y, sobre todo, ¿de dónde ve - nimos, que traemos tan manchados los pantalones? A todas estas preguntas, y a otras incluso más serias, in - tenta responder este espectáculo construido a partir del universo humorístico, vital, cinematográfico y literario de Groucho y su familia. No es, a pesar de que pudiera pa - recerlo, un espectáculo del absurdo, si no un intento de reflexionar -con mucho humor, desde luego- sobre nues - tro mundo aprovechando esa materia densa y maravi - llosa que es el universo marxiano , especialmente el de Groucho, pero también el de sus hermanos . En todo el material que esta familia dejó tras su paso por este mundo -en sus películas, en sus espectáculos, en sus biografías y en sus escritos- hay substancia para va - rias obras de teatro. Comedias, dramas, obras de época e incluso podríamos imaginar alguna tragedia, aunque nosotros no pretendemos, desde luego, rizar el rizo ni ex - traer sombras de quien quiso, sobre todo, sembrar luces. En uno de sus escritos, Groucho dice: calculo que no existen ni un centenar de comediantes de primera fila, hombres o mujeres, en todo el mundo.

  • The Cocoanuts the Articles in This Study Guide Are Not Meant to Mirror Or Interpret Any Productions at the Utah Shakespeare Festival
    Insights A Study Guide to the Utah Shakespeare Festival The Cocoanuts The articles in this study guide are not meant to mirror or interpret any productions at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. They are meant, instead, to be an educational jumping-off point to understanding and enjoying the plays (in any production at any theatre) a bit more thoroughly. Therefore the stories of the plays and the inter- pretative articles (and even characters, at times) may differ dramatically from what is ultimately produced on the Festival’s stages. The Study Guide is published by the Utah Shakespeare Festival, 351 West Center Street; Cedar City, UT 84720. Bruce C. Lee, publication manager and editor; Phil Hermansen, art director. Copyright © 2016, Utah Shakespeare Festival. Please feel free to download and print The Study Guide, as long as you do not remove any identifying mark of the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
