Gilbert Gottfried used to do an imitation of the elderly Groucho, that mostly consisted of explaining that the Marx Brothers continued to work into their later years "because Chico needed the money."
As best I can make it out, the inscription reads: "Harpistically Yours. xxxx Harpo Marx".
From all I've read about him, including his delightful autobiography Harpo Speaks, Harpo was one of the sweetest and happiest people ever. He enjoyed a contented marriage with four adopted children. When he was asked by George Burns in 1948 how many children he planned to adopt, he answered, "I’d like to adopt as many children as I have windows in my house. So when I leave for work, I want a kid in every window, waving goodbye."
