Arthur Adolph "Harpo" Marx (November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964) was an American comedian and film star. He was the second oldest of the Marx Brothers. His comic style was influenced by clown and pantomime traditions. He wore a curly reddish wig, and never spoke during performances (he blew a horn or whistled to communicate). Marx frequently used props such as a walking stick with a built-in bulb horn, and he played the harp in most of his films.

Harpo Marx was a prolific American actor and comedian, best known as the silent, pantomime-focused member of the Marx Brothers quartet.
He is recognized for his signature silent persona, use of props like the bulb horn, and musical ability as a self-taught harpist in films such as Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera.
Harpo utilized classic clown and pantomime techniques, relying on visual gags and physical humor rather than dialogue to convey his character.
