This clip shows two things: 1) Chico's unique style as a pianist (the way he used his right index finger), and 2) Harpo's virtuosity on one of his "secondary" instruments.
Chico and Harpo were indisputably great and extremely talented musicians. The way they combined comedy with music-making of the first order was priceless. Never been bettered, before or since.
I saw this when I was a kid...I'm now 70, and it hasn't lost one iota of entertainment value! Chico was great by himself, but with Harpo...just wonderful!
This is the best and truest type of entertainment - sincere, simple and funny. These were times when radio, film, and eventually television were uncharted territory. It was safe and enchanted millions of people and especially the young. Unfortunately, we can never bring it back, but I believe that we should preserve what we do have as much as possible for present and future generations as examples and role models that we sadly lack today. Now it seems to be about the increasingly ignorant passing this along to the next generation of poisoned minds. Not just the media, but ethics, morals, faith, and it goes on and on. I personally love ProgRock because of it's creativeness and imagination, harmony, beauty, and musical skills. I have amassed an ever growing library of this genre of music and video to play for people. There are movies and TV shows as well. I want this to last by passing quality along to others.
Love the way Chico almost cracks up towards the end. Also a beautiful acknowledgement of their childhood, as Minnie only had enough money to send Chico for piano lessons. He was indeed expected to teach his younger siblings. He never really got around to it, with Harpo playing largely by ear. I will never ever get tired of this clip.
I read a different version some years ago. It was Harpo who got the piano lessons, no more than a half dozen or so. Chico then got interested in the instrument, and taught himself to play; eventually getting good enough to hire himself out to bars and bordellos. When his schedule was overloaded, he would send Harpo to cover. They looked so much alike, no one knew the difference. While Chico stuck primarily with the piano, Harpo taught himself to play a variety of instruments. His grandmother's harp was his favorite.
@@MFPhoto1 nope. Anne got it right. And the teacher only taught him to play with his right hand. Read Harpo's book. You'll thank me for recommending it
LEGENDS !!! I am now 56 and my wonderful Grandparents taught me about The Marx Bros. / Sofie Tucker / Buster Keaton/ Chaplin .....all the BEST ever! ....
They made it look so easy. Chico obviously, but even Harpo on the piano had an understated ability that you could easily miss, look at 2:00 -- absolute legends, the whole family.
They were virtuosos. Back when one had to sing, dance, play, act and do comedy like they were all second nature. Vaudeville. When only the talented were famous.
These guys were geniuses. I remember seeing a clip where they dismantled a baby grand piano, removed the sounding board, and Harpo appeared to play it like a harp. Of course, a real harp had been interchanged with the sounding board.
OMG, it has been a very long time since I have seen one of their movies! 👍💕 ... I remember how much I used to love to watch their movies when I was younger. I sure miss those good old days. 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹 ... Thanks for sharing your videos on UA-cam! 👍👍👍
I was small watching this with my dear mama and papa late during the summer, just the three of us laughing........great time and great memories. Love you both mama and papa
I love stuff like this more than anything of today. Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, etc. Clean comedy, no need for profanity, pure funny talent.
**REALITY CHECK** We need to look to *OURSELVES* for the real reason why it's long gone. Beginning in the 1960's, comics offered us clean comedy and *WE DIDN'T WANT IT ANY MORE*!! We wanted the dirty stuff. So, "new" comics like Moms Mabley & Buddy Hackett (and later, Rodney Dangerfield) supplied the market. It's been that way ever since...
Why can't we have these great times back ? Makes me sad that all this is gone and will NEVER come around again. Life just isn't the same since we went past the 90's. Everything until then was spectacular.
When entertainers played and acted for entertainment. This was enjoyable for them and those watching. Talent like this is so lost on the generation of today..
New FDA warning on all labels of anti-depressant drugs: "Before taking this drug, please watch Chico and Harpo playing the piano, from The Marx Brothers film, "The Big Store." You may find that medication is not necessary."
Chico when very young played piano in a bordello. After he decided to leave he got Harpo the job. Harpo wrote about it in his autobiography, Harpo Speaks. Another fact about Harpo Marx that may surprise people is that he spied on the Soviet Union for the united states, I think that was during WW2, but I could be wrong about when he did it. Another Marx who was even more remarkable was Zeppo Marx, and obviously not for his films. He was a famous agent for Hollywood, but where he really shined was inventing things. He made the first watch that checked heart rate. He also invented the stabilization system for the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Every one of them was great on at least one instrument, at the insistence of their mother. It was a way of insuring that they could each make a living.

@@SpeckleKen I do know YOU KNOW THE MESSIAH IS NOT A WOMAN. NOT 1 PERSON HAS EVER GIVEN TESTIMONY OF SO. AND YOU KNOW IT TO BE A FACT OF SO.

ANS SHE KEEPS BREAKING HER PROMISES OF LEAVING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA--El Shaddai--God Almighty, Yahoshua--Joshua AND The Ruach Hokadesh--The Holy Spirit AS WELL, THE ELOHIM'HAS NEVER EVER BROKEN ANY 1 of their promises. JUST AS WELL HAS NEVER EVER broken any 1 Covenant of ALL THE COVENANTS WERE MADE. As ELOHIM is COMPLETELY, WHOLY UN-ABLE TO LIE--JUST UN-ABLE TO DO SO. ELOHIM has never EVER TOLD 1 LIE. Barbra MUST accept Yahoshua and repent JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE and must repent JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE or when her body dies JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE DOES, her spirit will be taken into Hell, not into Heaven GYST AS ANYBODY ELES WILL BE, AND ALONG WITH EVERY person who 'claims' to be a 'Christian' a 'Believer' yet who has never, ever been FOLLOWING YAHOSHUA as been ONLY COMPLETELY DIS-OBEYING HIM BY NOT DOING ANY 1 THING HE TEACHES--COMMANDS TO BE doers of 'THE WORD'who IS YAHOSHUA THE Messiah--THE CHRIST---THE Anointed One, AND NOT JUST a hearer only. ALL the 'claims' to being WILL NOT BE GOING TO HEAVEN---HE MAKES THAT VERY CLEAR IN THE BIBLE AS VERY MUCH SO DOES EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY "Whoever BELIEVES IN MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON will not perish". They have NEVER EVER spoken to be JUST TO HEAR THEIR OWN VOICE. Also, KEN I AM absolutely FULL AWARE, AS YOU DO KNOW I AM, of your entire very, very sad sorry comment is PURELY OF YOU JUST FULLY MOCKING YOUR, AND EVERY PERSON'S CREATORS, AND OF YAHOSHUA HAVEN TOOK ALL THINGS JUST FOR YOU KEN, AS WELL FOR ME AND FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN THE ELOHIM' ENTIRE CREATED WORLD. Yahoshua is "THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER" as Yahoshua still does and will always be doing of all HE was doing when HE first was sent down here on earth from Heaven of all was to be done. Yahoshua IS THE ONLY GIVER OF EVERY ONE OF ALL MY MIRACULOUSLY HEALINGS OF BEEN MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND AILMENTS ALL OF WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY OTHERS AS HE ALWAYS AND ONLY DOES SO AS THERE IS TO ALWAYS BE WITNESSES OF ALL HE DOES---ALWAYS MIRACULOUSLY DOES. Barbra Streisand has NEVER HEALED ME, NOR HAS SHE BEEN GIVEN TO MIRACULOUSLY HEAL AT ALL, SHE MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE, IS GIVING TESTIMONIES OF ALL SHE WAS GIVEN AND HAD MIRACULOUSLY DONE, IS DOING. As EVERYBODY KNOWS how SO VERY MUCH Barbra is very OUTSPOKEN--DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE WOULD NOT BE GIVEN TESTIMONIES OF ALL THINGS SHE RECEIVED BY THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN TO HER FROM YAHOSHUA? NOT BE TELLING THE WORLD OF HOW SHE CAME TO ACCEPT HER MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE PROMISED TO HER AND OTHE 'NATIONS/GENTILES'? As well ALL THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE Yahoshua has always SENT TO ME, FOR ME SO MANY TIMES HIS Angels of which SOME I HAVE FELT BRUSH MY DRESS AS EACH ONE WAS PASSING BEHIND ME. 2 other OCCASIONS I have seen 1 of HIS Angels AS BOTH TIMES THE ANGEL WAS THE VERY EXACT SAME ONE AS THERE WAS NOT 1 THING DIFFERENT OF THAT ANGEL OF HIS I SAW 2 TIMES---A YEAR APART. 2 other SEPARATE OCCASIONS 2 different persons was shown HIS Angels HE HAD SENT TO, FOR ME, A lady saw 1 of HIS Angels standing RIGHT UP VERY CLOSE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY. Several months LATER a 14 years old girl was over my home and as she and I doing the teachings--commands of Yahoshua SUDDENLY SHE SAW 6 OF YAHOSHUA'S ANGELS FLYING ALL AROUND MY ROOM AND SHE SAW HIS HUGE, EXTREMELY HUGE, VERY EXTREMELY BRGT RIGHT HAND OVER MY HEAD A I WAS GIVEN 8, 9 OR 10 NEW DIVERSE TONGUES ALL OF MAN'S LANGUAGE EXCEPT FOR 1, AS ONLY 1 WAS AN ANGEL'S LANGUAGE.
@@SpeckleKen FIRSTLY acting like a child never makes an adult sound as nor look like a grown-up. I do not get on and dis-play child-like antics as like you and a lot of child-like adults that get on electronic devices do and act and type such things and of the words they, you all do. PEOPLE GET A HOBBY AS LL PEOPLE USED TO., But then MY MAMA WAS NOTHING AS YOURS IS/WAS AND YOURS HAS NOT 1 THING TO BE PROUD OF HOWS SHE DID NOT DO HER PARENTAL DUTIES. My Beloved Mama--who has now been with her LORD well over 20 years--KNEW how to PROPERLY bring-up and raise her children AND TO BE THERE FOR A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS EXTREMELY ABUSED BY HER BOYFRIEND AS SHE WOULD HEAR HER BOYFRIEND YELLING AND BEATING HER AND HER CRYING ON THE SIDE OF OUR HOUSE EARLY MORNING ON WAY TO SCHOOL. MY MOTHER, AS ONE, DID BACK THEN, WOULD CORRECT ANY CHILD AS WERE VERY ILL-MANNERED AS YOU VERY OBVIOUSLY WERE WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD AS YOU ARE SHOWING YOU STILL ARE OF WHAT AND HOW YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. My Beloved Mama would most definitely have had a talk with you she would be very firm yet still at the same time be very nice yet she would not take any attitude from you. You should BY NOW KNOW HOW TO BE ACTING AND TYPING/TALKING BY NOW--WHY DON'T YOU START RIGHT NOW, TODAY TO ACT YOUR AGE AND GROW UP. My Beloved Mama was AT ALL TIMES a very proper child as even as a toddler who ABSOLUTELY ADORED, VERY MUCH LOVED AND ALWAYS RESPECTED HER DADDY AND MOM. WAS ALWAYS VERY RESPECTFUL TO ALL ADULTS AND ALL AUTHORITiVE FIGURES. SHE WAS NEVER, EVER A RUDE CHILD NOR WAS EVER MEAN TO ANY OTHER CHILDREN AT SCHOOL NOR OUT OF, AWAY FROM SCHOOL She was ALWAYS EXTREMELY highly complimented on how very well-mannered her Children always was during all her visits of whenever went to go over to visit her School-mate's parents houses as she had forever gone to visit as they had known her since she was 10 years old and all the so many times when she went to go visit all of her friends she's had since 10 years old AND WE HAVE KNOWN ALL OF THEM OUR ENTIRE LIFE--EVEN THOSE OF HER CLASS-MATES, SCHOOL-MATES WE HAD NEVER EVER MET YET IS AS IF WE HAVE PERSONALLY KNOWN EACH ANE EVERY ONE OF THEM OUR WHOLE LIFE. When she was in High-School her teenaged friends were always told by their Mothers when asked if could go to the movie theatre AND ANY SCHOOL EVENTS at night, their Mothers ALL OF THE GIRLS WERE EACH TOLD THEY COULD NOT GO. THEN EACH MOTHER WOULD ASK IF OUR MOTHER WAS GOING, AND WHEN THEY WERE TOLD OF SHE WILL BE, THEN AND ONLY THEN EACH MOTHER WOULD TELL THEIR DAUGHTER/S THEY CAN GO ONLY BEING AS MY MOtHER WAS GOING TO BE WITH THEM. I have yet to ever known an adult who never would act their own age was a grown-up. Also, Very obvious you were born either 1980 or from since then as you were not at all taught TO HAVE ANY GOOD MANNERS. ALSO, MY MAMA WORKED BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL EVERYDAY SINCE SHE WAS 10 YEARS OLD TO HELP HER DADDY AND MOM, AND SO THAT HER LITTLE SIBLINGS COULD HAVE TOYS, LOTS OF TOYS AS SHE THOUGHT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE. AND NO, SHE WAS NOT TOLD TO NOR WAS EVEN NICELY, VERY LOVINGLY, CARINGLY ASKED OF TO SO CAN HELP THE FAMILY AS MY BEST GOD GAVE TO US GRAND-DAD AND GRAND-MA WERE ALWAYS EXTREMELY POOR BUT HAD THE BIGGEST HEART FOR ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN'S FRIENDS INTO THEIR ADULT-HOOD AS THEY HAFD FOR EVERY ONE OF THEIR GRAND-CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS. HER WAYS HAD NOT BEEN OVER-LOOKED AND NOT BEEN NOT SEEN BY ELOHIM. WELL, BUT THEN SHE WAS BORN OF BEING AS SHE WA TO HER LAST BREATH AND LAST THOUGHT. I do not know what you call the Nw Testament? IN MY BIBLE, NO NOT ONCE ANYWHERE DOES YAHOSHUA LIE. I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY TELLING ANY UN-TRUTHS WHEREAS YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LOSE BY NOT BELIEVING. AND I DOI KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AS THE OTHER ONE---WELL BY THE HOLY SPIRIT I DO KNOW HE IS WHERE HE CHOSE TO SPEND ALL ETERNITY---HE IS SO VERY MOST DEFINITELY IN HELL., JUST AS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO KNOW OF SOME OF MY LOVED ONES ACCEPTED YAHUSHUA AND WAS TAKEN TO HEAVEN AS HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN TO ME 'DREAMS' IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE ABOUT, OF AND FOR MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE OR HAD ANY CONNECTIONS TO ME IN-DIRECTLY EVEN. AND THAT MY GRAND-DAD IS INDEED IN HEAVEN BY A DREAM AS EL SHADDAI SEBT HIM DOWN..
silly, but BRILLIANT! They had talent and world class skill AND they knew how to exploit that with creative genius routines. They earned the public adulation and stardom! Wow, I was not aware of their stature, before my "time". ALL due respect!
read in harpo's auto that a man thought it a shame the harpo was a mute......guy next to him sure he can speak. bet ya 20 bucks....so they go back stage and say hi to Harpo...... Harpo says " great to meet ya..any friend of my dad's is a friend of mine " he was incredibly talented
Deutschie It was just as enjoyable watching Chico.play as listening to the music. My dad introduced them and others-Laurel&Hardy, the 3 Stooges, Harold Lloyd, Victor Borge and others as I grew up.
They were so absolutely brilliant and hilarious and talented and funny… That’s what real talent and entertainment is ....humor delivered with classically trained talent.
Tim Travasos Not when you are that talented… It’s just pure excitable fun. As an oboist though, I would like to agree with you that it is very difficult playing the oboe seriously while carrying on a comedic routine. But now that I think about it… I would know how to perform with a little bit of hilarity.
And a brilliant harpist as well. I can tell, as I’ve been playing oboe for almost 55 years. Opera, symphonic and chamber. That was an era where every actor had to sing dance and act with prolific efficiency to be considered for the industry. Now all you have to be is young and pretty and skinny with the money to afford rehab every five years.
Eliana Miller Extras you get to be talking about? I was talking about truly talented individuals... and I was using some tongue in cheek, eye rolling humor, which was the fundamental topic... skilled rounded talent. Maybe you light spending time watching America’s got talent and the voice, which bores the shit out of me. Maybe you think Our Lord LittleHands is talented. Oy vey.
An immensely talented family, which I grew up watching and laughing at. These fellas were the blueprint for today's humour, it's just that today's comics don't know that the stand on the shoulders of these giants. Two generations have now grown up not knowing who the Marx brothers were, as they are never shown. Mind you, they don't know who Laurel and Hardy were either. Tragic.

the kicker is the marx brothers were largely self-taught
@@Kranford Their parents could only afford 1 piano teacher, so to take full advantage of this, Chiko learned the right half and Harpo the left!

There may have been no profanity, but Groucho in particular got a lot of double entendres past the censors.

@Ineluctable Smith Yes for El Shaddai--God Almighty HAD BLESS THEM SO MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO as ALL WAS given to them HIS PROMISE of the overflowing abundance of comedically, and/or musically and prosperous in, of all things when HE gave to our Father Abraham El Shaddai's--God Almighty's PROPHECTIC PROMISE that will be for ALL OF HIS FOREVER, NEVER WILL BE RE-PLACED CHOSEN PEOPLE AS WELL TO ALL GENTILES/NATIONS WHEN EACH BECOMES BORN-AGAIN AS ONLY THEN EL SHADDAI ADOPTS THOSE THE VERY INSTANT THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTIZES EACH ONE IN HIM INTANTLY SPIRITUALLY GRAFTED INTO THE SEED OF ABRAHAM MAKING EACH ONE HIS ADOPTED CHILD HE SAYS "YOU NOW CALL ME ABBA" AS THEN IS A FULL JOINT HEIR WITH THE MESSIAH--THE CHRIST--THE ANOINTED ONE YAHOSHUA WHO IS "THE WORD" WHO WAS SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN, CONCEIVED BY THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE "MADE FLESH" AND TOLD BY THEIR--ELOHIM' MESSENGER ARCHANGEL MICHAEL TO TELL MIRIAM [HIS PEOPLE HAS NO SUCH NAME AS 'MARY'---THR PAGAN RELGION OF CATHOLICISM CHANED HER NZAME PLAYING GOD AS HEY ARE ALWAYS STILL DOING] AND JOSEPH TO NAME HIM [HIS TRUE ONLY REAL NAME] YOHASHUA--JOSHUA, AND TO THOSE ARE GIVEN ALL OF EL SHADDAI'S--GOD ALMIGHTY'S PROMISES THAT HE GAVE TO HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE ALL FFOR HIS SPIRITUALLY ADOPTED, SPIRITULLY CIRCUMCISED CHILDREN.
Fantastic guys.....always a joy to watch again and again and again!!! Both individual characters full of talent....look at the crowd of ladies they have captured! Lol 👏👍😉😃🤡🤪🏴
Bei tempi sono felice di vedere questi filmati, mettono allegria grazie.
They were very talented a God given gift loved hearing Harpo play the harp too
Good grief. What incredible talent. And completely effortless ...
This was amazing the first time I saw it and every time since. They were the greatest. So lucky we have them recorded.
I honestly can't think of anyone today who is this talented in both music and comedy.
these wonderful artists are fortunate conduits of the sounds of our universe, such a wonderful gift.
I wish,I could play,like this! Brilliant.
😍 it's always cheers me up. They were so talented & fun.
Wow I’m 6
46 yrs old and I love this so much talent
HOW TALENTED THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS. AMERICAN TREASURES, ALL.
@RAYMOND HERBERT Yes THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS AS BEING FROM THE PROMISED GIVEN TO THEM. You do not know that they are JEWISH GOD ALMIGHTY'S FOREVER, NEVER WILL BE REPLACED CHOSEN PEOPLE? I never knew anyone who does not that they, The Three Stooges, George Burns, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante AND SO, SO MANY OF LOTS MORE......Neil Diamond--HE KNOWS THE MESSIAH--THE CHRIST--THE ANOINTED HAD COME AND WAS HGIS SACRIFICIAL LAMB, Barbra Streisand.......
@@elianamiller2666
Barbara Streisand is the Messiah? Has anyone told her?
@@SpeckleKen I do know YOU KNOW THE MESSIAH IS NOT A WOMAN. NOT 1 PERSON HAS EVER GIVEN TESTIMONY OF SO. AND YOU KNOW IT TO BE A FACT OF SO. Babra is, AS YOU DO KNOW, is ONLY a MERE HUMAN BEING AS YOU AND I AND ALL HUMANS ON ELOHIM' ENTIRE CREATED EARTH. ANS SHE KEEPS BREAKING HER PROMISES OF LEAVING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA--El Shaddai--God Almighty, Yahoshua--Joshua AND The Ruach Hokadesh--The Holy Spirit AS WELL, THE ELOHIM'HAS NEVER EVER BROKEN ANY 1 of their promises. JUST AS WELL HAS NEVER EVER broken any 1 Covenant of ALL THE COVENANTS WERE MADE. As ELOHIM is COMPLETELY, WHOLY UN-ABLE TO LIE--JUST UN-ABLE TO DO SO. ELOHIM has never EVER TOLD 1 LIE. Barbra MUST accept Yahoshua and repent JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE and must repent JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE or when her body dies JUST AS ANYBODY ELSE DOES, her spirit will be taken into Hell, not into Heaven GYST AS ANYBODY ELES WILL BE, AND ALONG WITH EVERY person who 'claims' to be a 'Christian' a 'Believer' yet who has never, ever been FOLLOWING YAHOSHUA as been ONLY COMPLETELY DIS-OBEYING HIM BY NOT DOING ANY 1 THING HE TEACHES--COMMANDS TO BE doers of 'THE WORD'who IS YAHOSHUA THE Messiah--THE CHRIST---THE Anointed One, AND NOT JUST a hearer only. ALL the 'claims' to being WILL NOT BE GOING TO HEAVEN---HE MAKES THAT VERY CLEAR IN THE BIBLE AS VERY MUCH SO DOES EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY "Whoever BELIEVES IN MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON will not perish". They have NEVER EVER spoken to be JUST TO HEAR THEIR OWN VOICE. Also, KEN I AM absolutely FULL AWARE, AS YOU DO KNOW I AM, of your entire very, very sad sorry comment is PURELY OF YOU JUST FULLY MOCKING YOUR, AND EVERY PERSON'S CREATORS, AND OF YAHOSHUA HAVEN TOOK ALL THINGS JUST FOR YOU KEN, AS WELL FOR ME AND FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN THE ELOHIM' ENTIRE CREATED WORLD. Yahoshua is "THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER" as Yahoshua still does and will always be doing of all HE was doing when HE first was sent down here on earth from Heaven of all was to be done. Yahoshua IS THE ONLY GIVER OF EVERY ONE OF ALL MY MIRACULOUSLY HEALINGS OF BEEN MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND AILMENTS ALL OF WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY OTHERS AS HE ALWAYS AND ONLY DOES SO AS THERE IS TO ALWAYS BE WITNESSES OF ALL HE DOES---ALWAYS MIRACULOUSLY DOES. Barbra Streisand has NEVER HEALED ME, NOR HAS SHE BEEN GIVEN TO MIRACULOUSLY HEAL AT ALL, SHE MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE, IS GIVING TESTIMONIES OF ALL SHE WAS GIVEN AND HAD MIRACULOUSLY DONE, IS DOING. As EVERYBODY KNOWS how SO VERY MUCH Barbra is very OUTSPOKEN--DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE WOULD NOT BE GIVEN TESTIMONIES OF ALL THINGS SHE RECEIVED BY THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN TO HER FROM YAHOSHUA? NOT BE TELLING THE WORLD OF HOW SHE CAME TO ACCEPT HER MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE PROMISED TO HER AND OTHE 'NATIONS/GENTILES'? As well ALL THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE
Yahoshua has always SENT TO ME, FOR ME SO MANY TIMES HIS Angels of which SOME I HAVE FELT BRUSH MY DRESS AS EACH ONE WAS PASSING BEHIND ME. 2 other OCCASIONS I have seen 1 of HIS Angels AS BOTH TIMES THE ANGEL WAS THE VERY EXACT SAME ONE AS THERE WAS NOT 1 THING DIFFERENT OF THAT ANGEL OF HIS I SAW 2 TIMES---A YEAR APART. 2 other SEPARATE OCCASIONS 2 different persons was shown HIS Angels HE HAD SENT TO, FOR ME, A lady saw 1 of HIS Angels standing RIGHT UP VERY CLOSE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY. Several months LATER a 14 years old girl was over my home and as she and I doing the teachings--commands of Yahoshua SUDDENLY SHE SAW 6 OF YAHOSHUA'S ANGELS FLYING ALL AROUND MY ROOM AND SHE SAW HIS HUGE, EXTREMELY HUGE, VERY EXTREMELY BRGT RIGHT HAND OVER MY HEAD A I WAS GIVEN 8, 9 OR 10 NEW DIVERSE TONGUES ALL OF MAN'S LANGUAGE EXCEPT FOR 1, AS ONLY 1 WAS AN ANGEL'S LANGUAGE.
Nurse! Nurse! Eliana is out of her bed again!
(P.S. New Testament Jesus lied several times.)
@@SpeckleKen FIRSTLY acting like a child never makes an adult sound as nor look like a grown-up. I do not get on and dis-play child-like antics as like you and a lot of child-like adults that get on electronic devices do and act and type such things and of the words they, you all do. PEOPLE GET A HOBBY AS LL PEOPLE USED TO., But then MY MAMA WAS NOTHING AS YOURS IS/WAS AND YOURS HAS NOT 1 THING TO BE PROUD OF HOWS SHE DID NOT DO HER PARENTAL DUTIES. My Beloved Mama--who has now been with her LORD well over 20 years--KNEW how to PROPERLY bring-up and raise her children AND TO BE THERE FOR A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS EXTREMELY ABUSED BY HER BOYFRIEND AS SHE WOULD HEAR HER BOYFRIEND YELLING AND BEATING HER AND HER CRYING ON THE SIDE OF OUR HOUSE EARLY MORNING ON WAY TO SCHOOL. MY MOTHER, AS ONE, DID BACK THEN, WOULD CORRECT ANY CHILD AS WERE VERY ILL-MANNERED AS YOU VERY OBVIOUSLY WERE WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD AS YOU ARE SHOWING YOU STILL ARE OF WHAT AND HOW YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. My Beloved Mama would most definitely have had a talk with you she would be very firm yet still at the same time be very nice yet she would not take any attitude from you. You should BY NOW KNOW HOW TO BE ACTING AND TYPING/TALKING BY NOW--WHY DON'T YOU START RIGHT NOW, TODAY TO ACT YOUR AGE AND GROW UP. My Beloved Mama was AT ALL TIMES a very proper child as even as a toddler who ABSOLUTELY ADORED, VERY MUCH LOVED AND ALWAYS RESPECTED HER DADDY AND MOM. WAS ALWAYS VERY RESPECTFUL TO ALL ADULTS AND ALL AUTHORITiVE FIGURES. SHE WAS NEVER, EVER A RUDE CHILD NOR WAS EVER MEAN TO ANY OTHER CHILDREN AT SCHOOL NOR OUT OF, AWAY FROM SCHOOL She was ALWAYS EXTREMELY highly complimented on how very well-mannered her Children always was during all her visits of whenever went to go over to visit her School-mate's parents houses as she had forever gone to visit as they had known her since she was 10 years old and all the so many times when she went to go visit all of her friends she's had since 10 years old AND WE HAVE KNOWN ALL OF THEM OUR ENTIRE LIFE--EVEN THOSE OF HER CLASS-MATES, SCHOOL-MATES WE HAD NEVER EVER MET YET IS AS IF WE HAVE PERSONALLY KNOWN EACH ANE EVERY ONE OF THEM OUR WHOLE LIFE. When she was in High-School her teenaged friends were always told by their Mothers when asked if could go to the movie theatre AND ANY SCHOOL EVENTS at night, their Mothers ALL OF THE GIRLS WERE EACH TOLD THEY COULD NOT GO. THEN EACH MOTHER WOULD ASK IF OUR MOTHER WAS GOING, AND WHEN THEY WERE TOLD OF SHE WILL BE, THEN AND ONLY THEN EACH MOTHER WOULD TELL THEIR DAUGHTER/S THEY CAN GO ONLY BEING AS MY MOtHER WAS GOING TO BE WITH THEM. I have yet to ever known an adult who never would act their own age was a grown-up. Also, Very obvious you were born either 1980 or from since then as you were not at all taught TO HAVE ANY GOOD MANNERS. ALSO, MY MAMA WORKED BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL EVERYDAY SINCE SHE WAS 10 YEARS OLD TO HELP HER DADDY AND MOM, AND SO THAT HER LITTLE SIBLINGS COULD HAVE TOYS, LOTS OF TOYS AS SHE THOUGHT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE. AND NO, SHE WAS NOT TOLD TO NOR WAS EVEN NICELY, VERY LOVINGLY, CARINGLY ASKED OF TO SO CAN HELP THE FAMILY AS MY BEST GOD GAVE TO US GRAND-DAD AND GRAND-MA WERE ALWAYS EXTREMELY POOR BUT HAD THE BIGGEST HEART FOR ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN'S FRIENDS INTO THEIR ADULT-HOOD AS THEY HAFD FOR EVERY ONE OF THEIR GRAND-CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS. HER WAYS HAD NOT BEEN OVER-LOOKED AND NOT BEEN NOT SEEN BY ELOHIM. WELL, BUT THEN SHE WAS BORN OF BEING AS SHE WA TO HER LAST BREATH AND LAST THOUGHT. I do not know what you call the Nw Testament? IN MY BIBLE, NO NOT ONCE ANYWHERE DOES YAHOSHUA LIE. I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY TELLING ANY UN-TRUTHS WHEREAS YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LOSE BY NOT BELIEVING. AND I DOI KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AS THE OTHER ONE---WELL BY THE HOLY SPIRIT I DO KNOW HE IS WHERE HE CHOSE TO SPEND ALL ETERNITY---HE IS SO VERY MOST DEFINITELY IN HELL., JUST AS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO KNOW OF SOME OF MY LOVED ONES ACCEPTED YAHUSHUA AND WAS TAKEN TO HEAVEN AS HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN TO ME 'DREAMS' IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE ABOUT, OF AND FOR MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE OR HAD ANY CONNECTIONS TO ME IN-DIRECTLY EVEN. AND THAT MY GRAND-DAD IS INDEED IN HEAVEN BY A DREAM AS EL SHADDAI SEBT HIM DOWN..
Utterly beautiful to look at.
Stunning performance.This is where the word Talent has a real meaning.
And That is How you play the piano professionally what a fantastic duo they make.
Never comparable. Simply the best ever.
We should be so lucky today to have this talent entertain us
Vaudeville created great entertainers who could perform with amazing versatility.
thank you for posting
The MARX brothers their humor is timeless like the 3 Stooges
Extreme talent and creativity.
Comedians want to bring us smiles, bless them.
Joyful humour born of huge intellectual talents - unbeatable ever since!
Raw talent and lots of practice. Amazing
I L💗VE the Marx brothers...
Sad to see how Hollywood has fallen without real actor and actresses truly skilled in their craft...
@Elizabeth Mullins What CRAFT? You MUST HAVE ONE to be able to GET SKILLED IN.
They were certainly gifted and master with musical talents...!
There are so many to choose from, but this is probably my favorite scene from all of the Marx Brothers movies.
MIne is when they lead all the cars on the horse track with the Free Parking sign in Day at the Races
How could I choose from all the amazing things they have done.
@@cucinare-da-zero I love that scene too, but my favorite is the one where they disrupt the opera with Take me out to the ballgame.
silly, but BRILLIANT!
They had talent and world class skill AND they knew how to exploit that with creative genius routines.
They earned the public adulation and stardom!
Wow, I was not aware of their stature, before my "time". ALL due respect!
Sometimes silly is needed.
I never knew they were so talented. Fantastic!
Oh, I've never even heard of this movie. Thanks!
Gawd, I just love these guys! 😻
read in harpo's auto that a man thought it a shame the harpo was a mute......guy next to him sure he can speak. bet ya 20 bucks....so they go back stage and say hi to Harpo......
Harpo says " great to meet ya..any friend of my dad's is a friend of mine "
he was incredibly talented
this made me HAPPY!
They make this piece look so effortless.
I love this so much
Gotta love Chico's unique style of playing the keyboard.
Deutschie It was just as enjoyable watching Chico.play as listening to the music. My dad introduced them and others-Laurel&Hardy, the 3 Stooges, Harold Lloyd, Victor Borge and others as I grew up.
Yes. That Index finger gets me every time.
Love ‘em! They inspired me to play the piano!
They are hilarious & genius on piano.
Now THIS was stellar talent & entertainment.(!)
Génies de la comédie, je ne m'en lasse pas! Genious of Comedy, never too much for me.
Me encanta la forma en que Chico toca el piano en todas sus películas, y la socarrona inocencia de Harpo ¡Qué grandes genios!
Cajondeciencias se nota eran unos tipazos. Harpo era un niñote, este año tendría 130 años.
Brotherly love in their eyes
I had to watch it twice. So funny. They look like they were having fun at their craft.
Cracks me up every time Harpo tries to put his head on Chico’s shoulder.
I loved the reach under.
"Genius" doesn't even begin to describe this.
They were so absolutely brilliant and hilarious and talented and funny… That’s what real talent and entertainment is ....humor delivered with classically trained talent.
It reminds me of when I was young in the 70s and they played the Marx brothers on New Year’s morning 1 a.m. on TV
Amazing talent. It's very hard to pretend to be funny while playing.
They WERE funny!
They didn't have to pretend!
Tim Travasos Not when you are that talented… It’s just pure excitable fun.
As an oboist though, I would like to agree with you that it is very difficult playing the oboe seriously while carrying on a comedic routine. But now that I think about it… I would know how to perform with a little bit of hilarity.
@Tim Travasos OHHH YES GOD ALMIGHTY IS MOST DEFINITELY, AND TO HAVE HIS PROMISES--AMAZING.
how many entertainers today can play musical instruments dance sing and have comedic timing of these guys
Good honest fun and talent
And a brilliant harpist as well. I can tell, as I’ve been playing oboe for almost 55 years. Opera, symphonic and chamber. That was an era where every actor had to sing dance and act with prolific efficiency to be considered for the industry.
Now all you have to be is young and pretty and skinny with the money to afford rehab every five years.
@Jeff Zabalski They HAVE to BE PRETTY!? Then how did so, so, so, so many, MOST ALL OF THEM GOT A FREE PASS into the industry?
Eliana Miller Extras you get to be talking about? I was talking about truly talented individuals... and I was using some tongue in cheek, eye rolling humor, which was the fundamental topic... skilled rounded talent.
Maybe you light spending time watching America’s got talent and the voice, which bores the shit out of me. Maybe you think Our Lord LittleHands is talented. Oy vey.
Where are you Brothers ? Only in my dreams.....
What talent, don't see that these days much
And just like back in the 60s when I was a kid growing up, they had me busting up at the seams and crying with laughter and it’s 2019.
An immensely talented family, which I grew up watching and laughing at. These fellas were the blueprint for today's humour, it's just that today's comics don't know that the stand on the shoulders of these giants. Two generations have now grown up not knowing who the Marx brothers were, as they are never shown. Mind you, they don't know who Laurel and Hardy were either. Tragic.
I get the feeling that the producers of (and the star of) The Gilmore Girls, had a pretty good awareness of at least Groucho ...
Nor do they know who Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd were. Extremely tragic.
Nor do they know who Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd were. Quite tragic!
These guys are amazing 👏👏👏
One word only,Perfection.
