Groucho Marx & Chico Marx: Typed Letter Signed on The Warwick Hotel Stationery in NYC & Signed Autograph Page Both Individually Framed. Julius (Groucho) Marx (1890-1977) was a comedian, writer, stage, film, radio, and television star and widely considered one of America's greatest comedians. He made 13 feature films with his siblings, many as popular today as they were when originally released. Offered is an undated typed letter signed on The Warwick Hotel stationery in Manhattan. The Warwick was built by William Randolph Hearst in 1927 and was one of the most popular hotels for the Hollywood elite for decades. Letter is a thank you to a Mr. Wilde with Marx mentioning he has written a play he hopes to star in before the theater season ends. Letter is boldly signed "Groucho Marx" in black fountain pen. Letter was very well kept, originally folded and now presented in a 13 x 16" frame with a wonderful image of Groucho tipping his top hat, with his signature black greasepaint mustache.

Offered is an inscribed and signed leaf from an autograph book (Certified by James Spence Authentication) presented in a 17 x 17" frame with a great photo of Chico, Grouch and Harpo. This is the first time Goldberg Auctions has offered an autograph by Chico Marx in over a decade. Both pieces in excellent condition. Estimate Value $800 - UP
