the claim

Harpo Marx never spoke in his comedy performances with the Marx Brothers.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Harpo Marx never spoke in his comedy performances with the Marx Brothers?

Partly. A 1936 press item says Harpo Marx had not spoken a word on stage or screen, and a scholarly article states he never spoke in his movies; however, a Wikipedia entry reports he spoke extensively at a 1964 fundraising performance, which is not a Marx Brothers comedy performance. The evidence covers only parts of the claim and does not fully settle it.
