On this day: Harpo Marx dies; audio of "the silent one" speaking

On this day in 1964, Harpo Marx, the silent yet also very funny partner of the Marx Brothers, died at the age of 75. Yes, the harpist could talk, and he betrays his New York roots in the second half of this YouTube clip. His son, Bill, sets up the moment as Harpo explains how he was thrown out of a brothel in a BBC radio documentary.
