Publisher: University of California Press
USURPATION OF BABY BOTTLE Harpo grabs the baby’s bottle and swigs it: opportunistic thirst. Outraged, Chico says “stop it”: shaming gestures crimp the fool, eager to upstage. Treating stolen milk as liquor, Harpo achieves a strange, dented machismo with his femme garb, his out-of-whack kerchief, his baggy Western shirt, his Mom-wig. Plump muscular hands, harp-ready, advertise virtuosity in repose. Chico and the anonymous woman express censoriousness, but amoral Groucho tolerates bottle-usurpation. Groucho’s fake hirsuteness—blackface mustache—seems a Sadean entitlement, licensing Harpo’s descent into evil, if we call bottle-theft evil.
