Harpo speaks! New recordings reveal mute Marx brother chatting with audience

-
The comedy legend, who adopted his silent persona because of stage nerves, did occasionally address his audience, as revealed by a new archive release Groucho was the cigar-chomping wit with the improbable moustache, Chico was the piano-playing rustic grifter and Zeppo played the straight man and the lover. But as any Marx Brothers fan knows, Harpo was the pantomime, who cracked up the audience without saying a word, dressed in his tattered raincoat and curly wig. His persona was childlike and mischievous but also musical – he let his harp and his taxi horn do the talking. But now we get to see, or rather hear, a new side to Harpo Marx. A very special recording has been unearthed of Harpo in 1964 speaking to an audience, in character. Arthur “Harpo” Marx was born Adolph Marx in New York in 1888. He started performing with his brothers in 1910, and his nickname probably came about because of his instrument of choice – he was an entirely self-taught musician. By 1915, due to his nerves a...

Pathaan Row: Ayodhya-based saint issues death threats to Shah Rukh Khan; says, “Will burn him alive”

In recent reports, it has even been revealed that he addressed superstar Shah Rukh Khan as ‘jihadi’. He reportedly said, "People of our Sanatan Dharma are protesting continuously regarding this. Today we have burnt the poster of Shahrukh Khan. If I get to meet the film Jihadi Shah Rukh Khan, I will burn him alive.” Followed by this, he also added if anybody else shows the courage to do the same, he would fight the legal case for them. The threat did not end here. As per reports, Acharya had gone on threaten theatre owners, asking them not to release the film or they will be burning the theatres down.

Readers would recall that the film Pathaan has been facing massive outrage over Deepika Padukone wearing a saffron-clad bikini that has not gone down well with certain religious groups. While they have raised an objection claiming that their sentiments hurt by this, they also further went on talk about how the gyrating dance moves of the actress and the intense chemistry between her and SRK in the film will be corrupting the youth.

Besides these protests, an FIR too has been lodged against the makers and cast of the song in Mumbai over the same matter.

Coming to Pathaan, the film is an action entertainer with Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a spy. The film also stars John Abraham as the antagonist and it is slated to release on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
