What did Groucho (your DeSoto/Pymouth deallerrr) and Harpo have to do
with Harry Truman, you may ask?

The Shadow Knows



BBC7 hqs a rerun of recreations of Marx Brothers radio shows.

See:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/monday

and look for "Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel". Realaudio on demand for
one week after the first broadcast.

Their first two Marx Brothers films, The Cocoanuts and Animal
Crackers, were essentially filmed Bway plays made here in Queens, NYC
at what is now kaufmanastoria.com, thus starting a tradition of comedy
through the years when it was owned by the Army Pictorial Center and
later when Imus was there at WFAN. (He pulled the big one at MSNBC's
studios in Seacaucus, NJ.)
