The Marx Brothers' comic strips were uncharacteristic, unfunny, and - Harpo speaks?

Here's three more gems from the brothers. The one from April 1929 is listed as not from Animal Crackers, but from Keith-Albee Vaudeville. That's because Animal Crackers had closed on Broadway on April 06 and starting April 13 they were touring in Scenes from Animal Crackers. Also interesting to note the presence of Gertrude Cole, the only chorine I am aware of who appeared in all three of the brothers' Broadway shows.

Thanks, Robert - the strips you posted did not show up in my search. There's still "gold" to be mined!
