Fave Photo Of The Weekend: Harold & Harpo (Ross & Marx)
The below photo, dated June of 1931, hitherto unseen (by me) came to the Spill courtesy of Steve Stoliar, who knows his Marx Brothers. Here’s Mr. Stoliar on the photo:
“Taken at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco when Harpo and Harold were staying while in town to greet [Alexander]Woollcott upon his return from his tour of the Orient. Ross initially came west to see Charles MacArthur. Harpo reportedly ended up taking his backgammon winnings from Ross in New Yorker stock.”
–My thanks to Steve Stoliar for the photo and the context
