The Groucho Letters

Autor: Groucho Marx

Número de Páginas: 324

Donated to the Library of Congress in the mid-1960s, Groucho Marx's correspondence was first crafted into this celebration of wit and wisdom in 1967. Reissued today with his original letters and humor intact, The Groucho Letters exposes one of the twentieth century's most beloved comedian's private insights into show biz, politics, business, and, of course, his illustrious personal life. Included are Marx's conversations with such noted personalities as E. B. White, Fred Allen, Goodman Ace, Nunnally Johnson, James Thurber, Booth Tarkington, Alistair Cooke, Harry Truman, Irving Berlin, and S. J. Perelman. To Confidential Magazine Gentlemen: If you continue to publish slanderous pieces about me, I shall feel compelled to cancel my subscription. Sincerely, Groucho Marx

Groucho Marx

Autor: Lee Siegel

Número de Páginas: 176

Born Julius Marx in 1890, the brilliant comic actor who would later be known as Groucho was the most verbal of the famed comedy team, the Marx Brothers, his broad slapstick portrayals elevated by ingenious wordplay and double entendre. In his spirited biography of this beloved American iconoclast, Lee Siegel views the life of Groucho through the lens of his work on stage, screen, and television. The author uncovers the roots of the performer’s outrageous intellectual acuity and hilarious insolence toward convention and authority in Groucho’s early upbringing and Marx family dynamics. The first critical biography of Groucho Marx to approach his work analytically, this fascinating study draws unique connections between Groucho’s comedy and his life, concentrating primarily on the brothers’ classic films as a means of understanding and appreciating Julius the man. Unlike previous uncritical and mostly reverential biographies, Siegel’s “bio-commentary” makes a distinctive contribution to the field of Groucho studies by attempting to tell the story of his life in terms of his work, and vice versa.

That's Me, Groucho!

That's Me, Groucho!

Autor: Matthew Coniam

Número de Páginas: 186

Groucho Marx's career as a solo performer began long before the Marx Brothers and lasted almost until the end of his life, with a series of controversial sold-out concerts in his eighties. In between came several films, numerous television and radio appearances, theater performances, dramatic acting and writing and his smash hit radio and TV quiz show You Bet Your Life (1947-1961). This first ever comprehensive study of his work without his famous brothers reveals a Groucho perhaps unfamiliar to the public. Driven to prove he was much more than just a comedian with a greasepaint (later real) mustache, Groucho always thought of himself as essentially a solo performer and strove for individual success in his professional life--and to balance (if not always successfully) his career with his family life. Many rare photographs are included, along with new and previously unpublished interviews.

(Applause Books). Groucho Marx was a comic genius who starred on stage and in film, radio, and television. But he was also a gifted writer the author of a play, two screenplays, seven books, and over 100 articles and essays. This newly expanded collection presents the best of Groucho's short comic pieces, written over a period of more than fifty years between 1919 and 1973 for the New York Times , the New Yorker , the Saturday Evening Post , Variety , the Hollywood Reporter , and other newspapers and magazines. Here is the one and only Groucho on his family, his days in vaudeville, his career, World War II, taxes, and other topics from his love of a good cigar to his chronic insomnia, from "Why Harpo Doesn't Talk" to "The Truth About Captain Spalding." The familiar irreverence, wordplay, and a dash of self-deprecation bring Groucho's wisecracking voice to life in these pages, firmly establishing him as one of the world's great humorists. Groucho Marx and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales (a title of Groucho's own choosing) is essential reading for Marx Brothers fans, and a hilarious and nostalgic trip through the twentieth century.

The Groucho-Effect. Are consumers really confused or do they just not care enough?

The Groucho-Effect. Are consumers really confused or do they just not care enough?

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Consumption and Advertising, grade: 1,9, University of Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to test some of the hypotheses and assumptions of the Groucho-paper to shed some light on what consumers really think and if labels increase the perceived quality of a product and, thus, increase the willingness to pay of consumers. This effect plays a major role for credence good, i.e. those goods where the consumer has to believe they are of a certain quality. Whenever you open a newspaper there might be an article about global warming, about critically endangered animal species, or air pollution and the health consequences. Those articles should be like a wake-up call to finally change peoples’ behaviour and save the environment, and lastly ourselves. Then you go to the supermarket and you see normal products and some products claiming to be “green”, “eco-friendly”, “fair” or “produced responsible” others with labels on it to prove it. What those labels really prove is often not clear to the consumers. This is when we speak about label credence goods.

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Groucho Q-Domain

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Groucho Q-Domain

Autor: Dennis Kuo

Número de Páginas: 156

The Groucho (Gro)/Transducin-like-enhancer of split (TLE) family of corepressors plays a significant role in the regulation of many cellular processes. Having no intrinsic DNA-binding activity, Gro/TLE interacts with various DNA-bound repressor proteins to repress transcription. Gro/TLE possesses a conserved region known as the Q-domain, and this region has been shown to direct the oligomerization of Gro/TLE, which is required for repression. Although the Q-domain is required for oligomerization, its structural properties have never been fully characterized. Here, the Q-domain was tagged with a small ubiquitin-related modifier protein (SUMO) to alleviate aggregation observed with the untagged Q-domain. Size exclusion chromatography (Gel Filtration) and analytical ultracentrifugations were performed. Results show that SUMO-Q oligomerizes predominantly as a tetramer. However, significant heterogeneity is observed at high salt concentrations. Analysis of the hydrodynamic data suggest a markedly non-spherical structure.

The Marx Brothers

The Marx Brothers

Autor: Wes D. Gehring

Número de Páginas: 288

This bio-bibliography was designed to present a combined biographical, critical, and bibliographical portrait of the Marx Brothers. It examines their significance in film comedy in particular, and as popular culture figures in general. The book is divided into five sections, beginning with a biography which explores the public and private sides of the Marx Brothers. The second section is concerned with the influences of the Marx Brothers as icons of anti-establishment comedy, as contributors to developments in American comedy, as early examples of saturation comedy, and as a crucial link between silent films and the talkies. Three original articles, two by Groucho and one by Gummo, comprise part three. A bibliographical essay, which assesses key reference materials and research collections, is followed by two bibliographical checklists. Appendices containing a chronological biography with a timeline, a filmography, and a selected discography complete the work.
