Harpo is my Lord and Master. Right now, if there be justice, he and his brothers are chasing the lady angels all over Heaven. Long may he honk and twang.

Messa gonna watch "Monkey Business" now. Screw conventional wisdom, Zeppo was great too. He just wasn't loopy like the others.

And don't forget, Groucho said that off stage, Zeppo was the funniest of the bunch.

You said it brother!  We need comedy with class and we need it now!  I've had it with all the damm "let's follow the Airplane! formula and if it doesn't work we'll just add lots of bodily fluid gags" junk that passes for movie comedy these days.

I checked the script and pics of this play out.  My God, the guy in charge should try to make it a travelling show type of play so the whole country can check it out!  It's brillant!

Ooooh. I may have done a good deed. I was picking up a proof at Otterbine Collage Theater, in Westerville Ohio.(Just N. of Columbus). And i heard the theater director discussing plays to get for the comming year. I put them on to the play! They were looking at the Wayaduck.com site when i left. Wish us luck!
....Yeah. The Brothers comedy was as much thier characters, and how they ruffeled the feathers of the pompous. Hummm...Squishy could use "Hail Freedonia" for his signature. If he gets his hands on it first!
