| − | Harpo portrayed a clownish mute, and never spoke on stage or on film. He usually dressed in a trench coat, top hat, and a bright red wig. He carried a bicycle horn, and would often sidle up to a person and have them hold his leg up. His name was derived from his harp playing, which had been a staple of their stage act (and later films). | + | Harpo portrayed a clownish mute, and never spoke on either stage or on film.
