Horse Feathers (1932) is a Pre-Code Marx Brothers film comedy. It stars the four Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo) and Thelma Todd. It was written by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, S. J. Perelman, and Will B. Johnstone. Kalmar and Ruby also wrote some of the original music for the film. Several of the film's gags were taken from the Marx Brothers' stage comedy from the 1900s, Fun in Hi Skule.
The film revolves around college football and a game between the fictional Darwin and Huxley Colleges. Many of the jokes about the amateur status of collegiate football players and how eligibility rules are stretched by collegiate athletic departments remain remarkably current. Groucho plays Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the new president of Huxley College, and Zeppo is his son Frank, who convinces his father to recruit professional football players to help Huxley's team. There are also many references to Prohibition. Baravelli (Chico) is an "iceman", who delivers ice and bootleg liquor from a local speakeasy. Pinky (Harpo) is also an "iceman", and a part-time dogcatcher. Through a series of misunderstandings, Baravelli and Pinky are recruited to play on Huxley's football team; this requires them to enroll as students at Huxley, which creates chaos throughout the school.

The Marx Brothers in "Horse feathers" by Norman McLeod
The 'Apartment Scene', part two of two, with The Four Marx Brothers, Thelma Todd and David Landau. Pre-Code with crude edits and censorship cuts. No complete version exists today. Horse Feathers was released on 10 August 1932. From start to finish - via the working titles The Marx Brothers at Yale and The Marx Brothers at Vassar to the College Widow (described by William Craigie and James Hulbert in A Dictionary of American English on Historical Principles as "a young woman who stays about a college year after year in order to associate with men students") and the concluding football game - it's a parody of the college movies that were popular at the time. The film also deals a bit with prohibition and bootleggers, and according to Groucho's grandson Andy Marx it was originally intended ...

Sweet-voiced, bearded acoustic guitarists are not a rare commodity in the Pacific Northwest, which has spawned the likes of Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Blind Pilot and countless others, just in the last few years. Horse Feathers' Justin Ringle may be the gentlest beard-wearer of them all, which made him a perfect candidate to appear in our Tiny Desk Concerts series: With a voice that high and soft, the man needs a quiet room. Watch them perform "Working Poor," "Heathen's Kiss" and "Curs in the Weeds." Find more Tiny Desk Concerts at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92071316.

Thistled Spring, 2010 An old love of mine To wed the worst man she finds A blossom that's bloomed, A house that's a tomb, Trapped in the rhododendron fumes Bit by the Spring, Hurt by the thing, Plagued by the memories that it brings No peace in the miles, There's word of the coming of a child And the broke can still break, And what time can take, Somewhere in the rules lies the stakes Bit by the Spring, Hurt by the thing, Plagued by the memories that it brings Bride-to-be, My only friend, Is leaving me In a Spring with no end Bride-to-be, My only friend...

Also Known As: The Four Marx Brothers in Horse Feathers In an effort to beef up his school's football team, a college president mistakenly recruits two loonies.
Through the walls, and the floors, and the streets,
There's a wave that came crashing down to beat,
All of the life from the coast,
In a poem where a bragging god boasts.
Well I read how this spell's been cast,
All the eyes looking up to the heaven's to ask.
Why is the sea on the shoal?
Well the sea it is coming to take its toll.
All the stories, we've heard them been preached,
Now there's bodies, there's bodies, they're found on the
beach.
Who calmed the sea of Galilee?
Is it his father that caused this?
Through the walls, and the floors, and the streets,
There's a wave that came crashing down to beat,
All of the life from the coast,
